Last Saturday was pretty special as the KMD Young Warriors invited their fathers to join in the class and celebrate Father’s Day. Here are a few words from a bystander:

“From observing todays Father’s Day kids class, I could see how much fun the kids had with their dads training along side them! The smiles on the kids faces were priceless when showing off how they can get out of a choke from the front. Fearlessly using their one handed pluck, hammer fists, knees, and open hand strikes. I could easily see how proud and amazed the fathers were, knowing their children can defend themselves. None of this would be possible without Coach Pawel, whose children are so grateful to call him dad! It’s a very difficult job to teach kids in a way that they understand and retain knowledge, but Coach Pawel makes it look so easy. Like the final drill of the class that incorporated Super Mario Bros, and all of the other techniques learned in class. As we wrap up the Father’s day weekend remember to tell your dad you love them, and to celebrate them not just one day out of the year, but every day!”

By Shelley Cichowlas

“I believe that people are stronger than their misfortunes. I believe that if you turn around and confront the vulnerability that’s part and parcel of life you’ll find within yourself a strength that will transcend that.”

Thank you all for taking the time and putting your selection on the list. I am very excited about this shirt and I know you will love it!

This evening is Day 3 of the June Women's Clinic! Our amazing group of women are learning a lot, sharpening their skills, and training their mindsets! Today they will train on the ground and address sexual assault dangers.

Last Friday evening our Women's Advanced Class had an awesome training session! The group discussed and trained against knife attacks and knife threats. The evening was finished up with a few drinks and female comradery! Join us next time! This class is drop in and for members and non-members! We love having new faces join us!

Join the TRIBE for the workout of the month THIS Wednesday:

Wednesday 6/22/22 at 21:15 (following Weapons Class)

See workout details in images below!

A few of our Young Warriors have filled up their belts with white, red and gold stripes and are ready to test for the yellow belt.

This historic event will take place on Saturday June 25, 2022 at 1230.

Regular class is still on at 1200 and it will be a great warmup for the few brave souls who decide to test.

The test is by invitation only.

The cost is $49 per student and it includes the brand new yellow belt.

All are welcome to watch so feel free to invite your family and friends.

Tuesday 6/28 marks 17th anniversary of the tragic events of the Operation Red Wings and as every year we will remember the sacrifice by crushing the Murph - a grueling workout named after Lt. Michael P. Murphy SEAL.

So mark your calendars. We are planning for an early morning and, if you’re still alive after, maybe we would grab a breakfast.
