Project: Benjamin

Congratulations to Benjamin for his continued success and progression. Benjamin is a creative kid with a kind heart. He has had to overcome many challenges, and a disciplined environment like Martial Arts, has not always been easy for him to function in. Through thick and thin he has stuck with it over the years, and today he was awarded his Red/White Belt in Tang Lang Quan, and his Orange Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Awesome job!
Congrats!

Member Highlight - Daniel's Evolution

Watching a child grow up in martial arts is an extremely rewarding experience. Daniel started Kung Fu with us at 11 years old. He was very quiet and reserved, but full of dedication and a desire to learn and improve. He is still going strong today. Moving from Kids Kung Fu and BJJ, to the adult San Shou/Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu programs, he now holds Blue Belts in both styles.

He has excellent grades in school while maintaining an impressive training schedule in the dojo. He was also selected as one of the few kids in his class to go to Japan on a school trip last year. Daniel is a prime example of the positive effects martial arts can have on a child's life. 

Seeing him grow up into a respectable adult; eating better, taking care of himself physically, maintaining a positive attitude on the mats, at home, and school, are all positive results. You can see the changes for yourself in the photos, but watching this process first hand has been an honor. Way to go Daniel! Keep up the hard work on your journey.
