One Mile Fun Run

 Everyone please join us for the inaugural running of the K.C. Jones Martial Arts 1 Mile Fun Run!  This fun event is a great way to combine the excitement of race day, while not having all the pressure associated with what your time is.  You can race, walk, skip, laugh, jog, push, or talk your way to the finish line.  This non-timed event will start and finish at the academy, and is open to friends and family of all ages.  

Join the Event on Facebook !!!!!

*Remember you (if under 18 a guardian) must sign a waiver so that you may participate and you must try to enjoy yourself!

April 2013 Promotional Testing

Promotional Testing Time is Here!!!

April 12-13 & 16, 2013

  Testing is an essential part of your growth and development as a martial artist.  It is a culmination of all that you have achieved this cycle, and is a means of demonstrating your ability in front of High Ranking Instructors, other students, and your friends and family.

  If you have any concerns regarding testing, please feel free to speak with one of the instructors about your progress.  You also may want to consider private lessons to tune up your form, iron out issues with sparring-flow drill, clean-up contact skills and jump-kicks, work on board breaking, or elevate your sparring.  If so please e-mail or stop by the office and schedule a one-on-one private lesson with one of our instructors!
