Everyone is here is for Kellan.
He’s a tiny Asah Shark, thin, a few strands of blonde hair left on his head. No eyebrows.

Did you hear about the guy who was in a coma for the last year? He asked if someone wanted to Skype.
Each leg stands for a needed component of fitness and health:
Sincere’s mom was shocked when she got the diagnosis for her energetic 4-year-old who loves Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
The Powerhouse is also known as Marion. She’s 5’3” with red glasses, and analyzes engagement data metrics by day. An amateur artist, wife to a guy who works for a food delivery app, mom to the Kid Who Had No Talent.
Leilani is on the front lines of responding to Covid cases in Philadelphia. She was one of the registered nurses scrounging for enough protective equipment to get through her shifts last spring. She worked long hours and kept going with her studies in graduate school. At times, she physically practiced karate in an empty corner of the hospital during a break, keeping all of her protective equipment on.
What style is best for your child? What if the kid likes to fight? What if they’re competitive? If they’re bullied? For self-defense? If they have ADD/ADHD? If they hit their siblings? If they need more exercise? If they love ninja turtles or Bruce Lee?
Building confidence and character through positive martial arts training.
