Fight Club: Our most recent fight club on June 24th may have had a smaller turnout compared to previous events, but it provided a valuable opportunity for focused and individualized tuition. We believe that this type of focused training is crucial for our members who aspire to become part of a strong and unified team at EKA.

As we look towards the future, it is essential for those who have upcoming gradings and wish to enhance their sparring skills to attend these sessions. The insights and improvements gained from participating in fight club events will undoubtedly contribute to their progress. We are committed to supporting our members on their martial arts journey and providing them with the tools necessary for continuous growth.

Stay tuned for updates on our next fight club, as we are in the process of scheduling the date. We encourage everyone to mark their calendars and prepare to engage in another exciting and rewarding experience at EKA.

Black Belt Grading: Save the date! July 8th marks a significant milestone in our calendar as we prepare for the highly anticipated black belt grading. We are proud to announce that Joshua Fawn, a dedicated member who joined us just a few months ago, will be aiming for his 1st Dan Black Belt. Joshua's commitment to his training has been evident through his assistance in various classes and his remarkable instructing skills, showcased during a mock class.

You may be curious as to why Joshua is pursuing his black belt at such an accelerated pace. It's worth noting that his previous club followed a syllabus similar to our own American freestyle and karate kickboxing. While he had already attained his black belt there, Joshua recognized the intense and suitable training approach we offer for black belt gradings at EKA. Motivated by his desire to challenge himself further and align with our training standards, he has chosen to undertake a re-grading under our organization.

For those intrigued by this monumental event, we invite you to be part of the experience. Join us for the 4-hour grading on July 8th, where you will witness the rigors and dedication required for a black belt journey. It's an opportunity to gain insight into the process and envision your own path towards achieving a black belt. Don't miss out on this extraordinary event—secure your participant black belt class credit and be a part of Joshua's remarkable journey.

The EKA Day/Night Out was an absolute blast! The excitement was palpable as both the kids and the young-at-heart adults gathered at Jump Inc. for a day filled with laughter and energetic jumps. It was delightful to see some of you showcasing your kickboxing moves mid-air, blending the joy of jumping with your newfound skills from class. The passion for kickboxing truly knows no bounds!

The adult's night out was equally fantastic, with an impressive turnout. Beyond the usual banter about which instructors push us the hardest during classes, meaningful conversations sparked, forging connections and fostering a sense of camaraderie within our club. It's moments like these that truly strengthen our community spirit.

As we reflect on the success of these events, our team is already hard at work brainstorming the next thrilling experiences for the EKA. But here's where you come in - we value your input! We want to hear your ideas and suggestions for future organized events. Your voice matters, and we believe that collectively shaping our events will result in unforgettable experiences for everyone involved.

So, please don't hesitate to share your thoughts, preferences, and creative ideas with us. Your input will play a vital role in shaping the exciting adventures that lie ahead for our community.

Congratulations to all the individuals who successfully completed their grading in early June. Your dedication and hard work truly shone through, resulting in remarkable performances that exemplified the spirit of our club.

The sparring sessions showcased an impressive display of skill, with fluid and precise techniques executed with finesse. It is evident that the time invested in attending our fight clubs has paid off, as your abilities in sparring have flourished.

Additionally, we witnessed captivating Kata forms from our blue belt and advanced practitioners. The focus and attention to detail demonstrated during these forms were truly commendable. It is evident that our Kata classes have contributed significantly to your growth and development as martial artists.
