The New and Improved DMA APP is here!

We have switched app providers to create an improved experience for our families. You should notice fewer glitches and downtime from our app with all of the same conveniences as before. All Android users should be able to access the app now.

Our old app (the one you have right now) will be removed from the Google Play and Apple App Stores on April 10.

Please delete the current app on your phone. This will not affect your parent portal or account in any way.

Then, use this link to download the new app.

Summer Camp!

For more information about Summer Camp, please visit the DMA Archives post Summer Spectacular.

Beginning in February, the DMA Team has been selecting a Student of the Month. Congratulations to Lyla Williams, our March Star Student for her exceptional demonstration of leadership.

As a Black Belt, Lyla can often be found volunteering as a leader for DMA Events such as Parent's Night Out, Ninja Camp, and our recent Rise N' Grind Tournament. Lyla is the kind of leader who does not wait to be asked. She helps pass out food, guides our younger students with patience, assists with clean up, and greets every single person with an open and welcoming spirit. She follows instructions with respect, leads by example, and consistently chooses kindness. That is not something we can teach on the mat alone. That comes from the heart.

At our most recent tournament, Master Yu personally selected Lyla to serve as his scorekeeper, a role that requires focus, accuracy, and calm under pressure. Lyla, you have worked hard, you have shown up for others, and you have made our entire Dynamic Martial Arts team so proud. We celebrate you today and encourage every student to follow the example you set each and every time you walk through our doors.

Just For Teens!

April is Teen Month at Dynamic Martial Arts, and we have been looking forward to this all year! Back in February and March, every student in our teen class had the chance to vote for their favorite superhero, and the results are officially in. By popular student choice, Spider-Man has taken the top spot, and we could not be more excited to kick things off with everyone's favorite web-slinger leading the way.

Starting in April, each week of teen class will be dedicated to a new superhero theme, beginning with Spider-Man and followed by the instructor's choice of heroes in the weeks to come. Every class will be designed around that hero's unique special abilities, using them as inspiration to introduce new skills, techniques, and training strategies. This is going to be a month of creative, high-energy training that challenges our teens in fresh and exciting ways. Get ready, teens. April is going to be incredible.

Our belt testing is set for Saturday, April 18. Please arrive in FULL TRADITIONAL uniform, NOT sparring uniforms. If you are testing for a new belt, please bring your pads for board breaking. Anyone testing for a black belt should bring all their pads, weapons, and wooden boards.

White-Yellow belt teens ages 11-17 will start at 11am

Advance students will begin at 11:30am
