“Make It Happen”
Our motto is “Make it Happen.” It was once said that martial artists don’t let life happen to them, they make it happen. Always do what you say and see things through. When you don’t feel like going to class, that’s when you need to go the most. “Make it Happen” doesn’t just stop at the school, but extends into life.

However, teaching young students also presents its own challenges..
