No Limits Martial Arts

Hi guys. Schedule shift for this week, see below:
Monday Self-defense: Howard
Tuesday Sparring: Howard/Caleb
Thursday Kata: Gary/ Jeff
Friday: NO CLASS
Saturday Basics: Sharon/ Jeff

Reminder, No Limits is closed today for the Labor Day holiday. Enjoy the time with your family and see you tomorrow normal time. Instructor's Choice!

More Belt test pics from Saturday!

Instructors and ranking black belts after Saturday's test. So nice to have so many together again!

This is what over an hour of sparring looks like.

Reminder, No Limits is CLOSED Saturday May 25th and Monday May 27th for the Memorial Day Holiday!

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

Please take a moment during the holiday weekend to think about those soldiers and their families who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can live free.

Classes will resume on Tuesday May 28th. Don't eat too much and be prepared to work it off on Tuesday. Instructor's Choice!

Great night. Much deserved promotions!

Great day at No Limits! Two promotions, some stripes earned, and a new white belt starting his journey. Excellent help and teamwork from instructors, thanks! Parents and grandparents watching. Exactly what a family karate school is about.
Phrase of the day out of the mouths of babes, Sensei: wipe some sweat on that belt. Student: but I don't have any. (You will...)

It's simple, this is why we do this! Look at that confidence! Tonight Penelope was Uke demonstrating for two new potential students. She killed it!

Late post as always. Obviously unposed pic from Saturday belt test. Super day. Great effort by the testers, and amazing work by the assistants! Proud Sensei!

No Limits friends, please share!

Ok guys, I'll post an event shortly, but we are resuming our Women's and Teen's Self-defense classes in February. The first class will be Sunday, February 18th at 2:00pm.

As always, No Limits Friends and family please promote, forward, etc.

Standard stuff, class is free. Allow 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
This is a hands on class. Wear comfortable clothes and prepare to maybe sweat a little.

You don't have to sign up, but it does help to have an idea how many will be here for staffing.

Again, I will post an event, but you can reply, ask questions here in the meantime.

Don't trust your GPS, it may take you to Mauldin. We're behind Big Lots in Simpsonville.

Sorry, no fancy graphic or pic, but....
NO LIMITS HOLIDAY PARTY is this Thursday, January 11th. Starting at 6:00pm. Food will be about 6:30.
As always, we'll play games and end with a snowball fight (tradition you know...), but this is more of a family get together.

We're planning hot food, main dish, sides, that sort of thing instead of the all carbs cookies, candies, etc. for Halloween.

Although it's NOT a pot luck, and you don't have to bring anything, if you have a favorite family recipe that you would like to show off, bring it on.

The entire immediate family is invited, not just students. Also, close friends. If you're not sure, just check with Sensei Howard.

Merry Christmas!

We are open normal hours Christmas Day!
5:45pm to 7:15pm Karate class
7:20 to 8:15 Fitness Class

Come work off all that stuff that we probably shouldn't have eaten!

Sort of a pop up class, fitness tonight will be Strong! by Zumba instead of Kickboxing with weights. 7:20pm to about 8:15pm. Come on in! It's a great workout!

For those who took a picture of the schedule before I modified it, tomorrow, Thursday 12/14 is NOT the Christmas Party. I am moving it to January. I've found that more people are available after the first of the year. Tentative date is Thursday January 11th in lieu of classes.
STAY TUNED! I'll know after instructor class tomorrow night.

No Limits family and friends. We are open Monday and Tuesday this week. We will be closed Thanksgiving day, Thursday, thru Sunday to enjoy time with our families. We will be back at it on Monday, November 27th normal hours and ready to work !

Come see us at the Aunt Het Festival! Demo team performance is at 11 & 2 on the stage next to the Farmers Market area!

Reminder! No Limits is closed tomorrow, Saturday October 7th. We'll be at Aunt Het in Fountain Inn from 9 to 5. Come by and see us there.

I'd like to welcome our (sort of) new neighbor, Kings and Queens Barbershop and Salon to our neighborhood. After probably too many years to count, Smitty's Barber Shop has decided to turn over the reigns to a new generation. Although Orlando will move on, my understanding is that everyone else is going forward into the new era of the shop. They just completed a refresh including clean up, touch up and a new floor. New signage will be installed soon. Preview below.
Good luck in the new era of the shop!

And finally a very late post. Had these great plans to put together something special, but have delayed too long now.
Black belt test August 19th was hard as always. Started around 845am with 100 push ups, crunches and squats. 900am, Sensei Kacey warmed them up with a bit of a Strong class just for fun. Then, 25 of each technique on each side for about 2 hours followed immediately by continuous sparring. A bit of a break to bring a few tears to our eyes by reading their thesis, "What does Karate/ my Martial Arts Journey mean to me?", and more sparring. Two on one, three on one, four on one, point sparring. From there, physical becomes more mental with self-defense techniques, falls and rolls and kata. Board breaking to finish it off. We finished around 4pm with three tired but triumphant testers.
The purpose of a black belt test in our dojo is not to prove to the instructors that the student deserve it, we wouldn't have recommended the student if we didn't think they had the ability. It's a test to prove to themselves that they earned it. NOTHING is given.

Congratulations to:
Emiliano Corral 2nd Degree Adult Black Belt
Avery Grotke 1st Degree Junior Black Belt
Joshua Dushane Special Recognition 1st Degree Adult Black Belt (Down Syndrome)

Pics to follow.

What are we doing for the holiday weekend?
Karate of course. NORMAL HOURS on Saturday and Monday.
See you at the dojo!

To all No Limits friends and family. I apologize for the lack of communication lately. Just a lot going on. It won't change for a while, but did want you to know that I'll be posting more frequently soon. Thanks for understanding.
