This was the EASIEST BIRTHDAY PARTY I have ever thrown. Journey Martial Arts provides invitations, entertainment and pizza. All there was for me to do was review my 9 year old's guest list, get invitations out and provide cupcakes.The kids had a BLAST. They provide active, organized activities, even though it looks like chaos to the adults. The activities even support agility, hand-eye coordination and teamwork.

I did martial arts at a different place working on my high brown belt before COVID; however, I didn't return to that place afterwards as I wanted something more practical before I head off into the USCG. On top of great fitness kickboxing classes to get you physically fit, Mrs. Virginia is a fantastic teacher giving useful demonstrations and additional help if needed. Additional bonus, everyone participating in class are also really nice and helpful.
