Hello,
This is the update for this week... take note:
Tonight's practice in all classes are tournament style. Many of you have your names on our tournament sign up sheet. Which by the way... those who have not turned in their applications, and paid... need to do so right away. Early registration discount ends on April 1st. Come in tonight, and get your work in. We know the other Pilsung Studios are preparing... you should as well.
3/23/24 (SATURDAY) No classes.
SCHEDULED TOURNAMENT PRACTICES:
While we have been devoting a few minutes throughout the last few weeks to tournament practice, we have not set aside specific days to devote fully to preparation for the tournament. The following days and times are specifically set for tournament practice... as the event gets closer, we will likely add more:
Thursday March 21st - All Classes
Monday March 25th - All Classes
Tuesday March 26th - All Classes
PILSUNG MARTIAL ARTS ASSOCIATION CHAMPIONSHIPS
Saturday April 13th at Strath Haven High School
All students of all ages and ranks are encouraged to attend. Price is $50 and includes all events. We will be holding dedicated practices for the students to prepare. Any questions, see a staff member or Master Celona
Sign up Sheet is in the lobby. Applications should be turned in ASAP.
GUEST INSTRUCTOR VISITS:
On Tuesday we hosted Master Instructor George Celona from Impact Martial Arts as a guest instructor. It seemed all who were in attendance had a great time. In addition to some boxing combination, students were treated to a lesson in stick fighting which was very well received. I want to thank my cousin George again for coming, and hope we can collaborate more in the future.
Some of you may or may not know that Master Celona's cousin George and his wife Angel are Master Instructors and own Impact Martial Arts in Perryville, Maryland. For many years Master Celona and his cousin trained together at Shin Karate in Philadelphia when they were children. After all this time, we've finally set some days aside where we get to train with each others students. On March 30th, Master Michael Celona will be visiting Impact Martial Arts to do some training. On Tuesday April 16th, Master Angel Celona will be visiting us as well..
I highly encourage every student to come to class that day. Should be a fun time!

PHOTO DAY: Monday May 13th we will be having our annual visit from Robertson's Martial Arts Photography for photo day. There will be no classes that evening to make room for Mr Robertson and his equipment. His expertise in pulling the most photogenic martial arts techniques from the students is second to none. Each year, students who get their photos done, end up on one of our yearly photo boards (the ones in the foyer). So come and get your pictures done on May 13th.
MARTIAL FUSION 2!
We are once again hosting Sensei Chris Hanson from Karate Unity for our Martial Fusion seminar. May 18-19, (Saturday and Sunday) This year will be an expansion on concepts and drills covered from last year's event. This year we are already planning some extra special things... Early bird sign up price is $80 for both days. Regular price is $99 ...AND... we are adding a children's session for Saturday morning (new for this year) children's session price is $45. more information to follow soon, sign up link is here:

BEGINNER'S BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU:
Students who are interested in the BJJ class, are permitted to try it out. The trial program is the same as the Karate program (4 weeks for $49.99). The only difference is that you have to purchase a BJJ Gi (uniform) as your Pilsung Dobohk will rip.
This program is NOT open to Little Champions, and Young Gladiator students need special permission by Master Celona if he determines you'd be good for the class.
Anyone in the 6:30pm class should be able to participate.
