Welcome to our NEW website!

It started just over a year ago when my daughter Kari started talking to me about creating a new website. Our previous one had served us well and was actually one that Andrew Colson had put together and surprised me with in October of 1999. Well, times change and so we started talking about something new. I met with Ben Wood who got us started and set up the development site and basic structure so Kari could get to work. I hope you’ll agree she’s done an amazing job giving us a site that is easy to find your way around, and pleasing to look at too! (Thanks Kari!) Ben and Jason Rousett came to class one evening and snapped some photos for us to use, including my favorite which is the home page photo – I think that sums up Whole Armor Martial Arts perfectly. We still have some work to do, more photos to take, some to replace (including all the Black Belt ones, so stay tuned for that), and there’s still some of the fancy stuff that we’ll be pulling the trigger on soon too. But for now, I hope you’ll enjoy our new website just as it is as much as I do!

New Advanced Black Belt Ranks!

On May 12th at our Advanced Clinic with my teacher Soke Riedner we also had a Black Belt Exam. Dennis Quarto and Jim Hurley earned their 2nd Degree Black Belts, and Andrew Colson and Tim Merriam earned their 4th Degree Black Belts!
