CONGRATULATIONS to MARTIN JOHNSON!

Martin & Charles did extremely well and demonstrated that they have been studying the Armas-Kali curriculum very diligently.

THIRD ANNUAL KAI-SHIN-DIG A SUCCESS!!!

This year’s 3rd annual Martial Arts BBQ, the “Kai-Shin-Dig”, was a roaring success! Thank you to all who attended. We started the event off by firing up the grill for some awesome food (thank you Josh), moved on to rockin’ it out with a live drum circle, announced some big promotions and ended the night with us all gathering around to watch the UFC 117. Thank you to Laurie, Laura, Josh, Chris and all the others that helped in set-up for this event.

RANK PROMOTIONS:

Brett Eckhart * Armas-Kali Associate Instructor

John Tuma * INTERMEDIATE: Level-1 in Kai-Shin

OPPORTUNITY TO TRADE SERVICES WITH K.S.K. MARTIAL ARTS

In these tough economic times, we at KSK Martial Arts understand that money is a major concern on everyone's mind.

In the past, when a dedicated student or associate was faced with tough economic choices at home, KSK has always put continuing that students training over their ability to pay monetarily (no really, it's true), and they were able to trade services and/or goods to benefit the school, as payment for their training.

Well, we currently have another opportunity for a student, or potential student, to do just that, ...as we are seeking to re-design the KSK web site, and would be willing to offer training, KSK instructional materials, and advertising on our new site in exchange for expert web site design skills. If you are interested, or know someone who may be, please contact us tk.martialarts@gmail.com

We know what we want, mostly, now we want to give someone the opportunity to make it happen.
