We are proud to announce that Blue Life Karate celebrates 18 years in business this month! We welcome the opportunity to continue to be a part of the personal growth for both children and adults in our community. Thank you to all of our members for their continued support and commitment to our mission to help students lead a more successful and fulfilling life.

We wanted to share a few comments with you. Chief Instructor Howard is happy to share his knowledge and passion for Martial Arts and this is what happens…

Happy Birthday and Congratulations! You do so much to help young children develop skills that are so important, like to be patient, to focus and to practice. And you help build their confidence. Our son Jack is getting so much out of your classes! 

Thank you!

It takes a special person to harness the energy and enthusiasm of a class of 4 - 5yr olds and the owner of Blue Life Karate, Durand Howard, is one of those kinds of individuals. This past weekend I personally witnessed Mr. Howard get a group of 10 young boys who seemed to all come in on a sugar high, to focus on the lesson and earn a coveted "Karate silly band" at the end of class. If you're looking for a fun activity for your girl or boy that provides an opportunity to work on listening skills, gain some physical activity, and a feel sense of accomplishment, give Blue Life Karate a try!

We look forward to many, many more anniversaries!

King's Isshin-Ryu Karate Club held its annual Kumite Tournament on Sunday, March 13, 2011. We trekked down to Newton to put our training to work. Our winners placed first and second in their divisions. Congratulations Allie L., Anthony C., Christian M., Jacob P., Josiah P., Kevin G., Krys W., Mikey L., Noah S., Rayvon W., Ruari M., Sumer M., and Tran S. on your participation and sportsmanship. Sensei Hakim placed second in the adult division. You are all warriors!

Shihan Howard could not resist the urge to compete this year, and brought home first place in the adult division. USH!

Thank you to all of our supportive parents for making student participation possible.
