A few years before reaching the milestone birthday of 50, I decided to make earning my black belt at Spicar’s Martial Arts my goal to reach by then. I’d never had issues with birthday numbers before, but that number seemed huge to me. I had a daughter in elementary school and a son enrolled in preschool so I had a few free days per week to take classes. This was my opportunity as I was very familiar with Spicar’s because both of my children are enrolled here. My daughter has earned her black belt and my little guy is on his way. I knew this was the right school for me too.

Girls worked with each other on scenarios when someone crosses their safe distance and learned that their voice is their biggest weapon and that they can use specific simple words to keep the stranger away.

We were having so much fun with our Beginner and Intermediate Junior students today! We called it an Action Packed Thursday. Boards were flying everywhere and students were having loads of fun when we were playing back their board breaking triumphs through a projector onto a 10 foot screen.

Over 150 students were working out in the Parr park at the regional "get together" event. We worked on forms, kicking drills and had fun sparring with students from all over the DFW area. 

Big congratulations to our students who competed - Mr. Robert Sampson on his Spirit Medal, Miss Gaby Pulido on her 2nd Place Silver Medal in artistic forms and Mr. Surya Arakere on his 2nd Place Silver Medal in artistic forms.
