Attention all Kim’s Academy Students!

Kim’s Academy is pleased to announce the return of the annual Christmas Banquet after a short hiatus away!  This year’s even will be held on Saturday, December 16 at 6pm at Believers Southern Baptist Church. The address is:

13909 W 21st St,

The location is on the south side of 21st street across from the Northwest YMCA which is located near the intersection of 21st street North and 135th street West.

Board Holding and Breaking Seminar

One of the requirements for passing a belt test is to perform a break of one or more boards using a foot or hand technique.  A successful break relies on understanding the proper breaking techniques.  Equally important is understanding the proper techniques for holding the boards.  Kim’s Academy is offering a workshop to demonstrate these techniques.

When:  Saturday, July 15th, 2023 from 1:00 – 2:30pm
Location:  Kim’s Academy Main School, located at 1617 S. Longfellow in Wichita, KS
Cost: Free to attend; optional fee of $2 per board if you want to break real boards.
Event is open to all Kim’s Academy students.  Black and Red belts are strongly encouraged to attend.

We need instructors to attend to assist with training and to bring re-breakable boards if you have them.  You can download a flier for the event here.
