BALTIMORE — “I was a runner, I’m a martial artist and I was like what else am I gonna do,” Karen Kells asked.
With more than two decades of karate under her black belt Kells decided to hit the open road, cycling.
“I did the Sea Gull Century in Maryland, and I had done a couple of rides in PA and I started tallying them and I said I wonder if I could do all 50 states, just bike in all 50 states and that’s how it came to be,” Kells said.
We are going to close the dojo on Tuesday, 10/31 so our karateka can enjoy an evening of trick-or-treating. The regular schedule will resume on Wednesday, 11/1.
Osu and have fun!

Done With Bullying
Research shows that bullying peaks in the 5th, 6th and 7th grades. The goal of this seminar is to minimize the effects of predatory behavior. This will be accomplished through role playing, small group discussions and empathy training.
Congratulations to all of our Towson students that competed in the 47th Annual Seido Karate Tournament!
We are very proud of the 13 students from Kells Karate Academy that entered to compete, regardless of how they did in the standings. It takes real courage to put yourself out there in front of everyone and compete. So kudos to those of you who supported the Seido Juku Benefit Foundation!!! That being said, everyone did a great job! We had lots of first and second place standings!
Congratulations to our four new Nidan students! Jun Shihan Karen was so happy to be at Johshin Honzan to help Senpai Mark, Dan, Alex and Nicholas reach their #goals of #blackbelt and the journey that continues after #shodan. It was also wonderful to see so many of our seniors and peers.
We know you work hard in and out of the dojo. So we want you to have a few days off to celebrate your hard work!
The dojo will closed from Sat. 9/2 through Mon. 9/4. Our normal class schedule will resume on Tues. 9/5.
Have fun and thank you for your hard work!
The National Weather Service has issued an advisory about a major, dangerous storm arriving in our area today between 5pm – 7pm. Since that falls during our class times and we want our students and parents to be safe, we have decide to cancel our classes for tonight.
Stay dry, stay safe and we’ll see you later in the week.
Summer is just about here and the fun is just heating up at Kells Karate Academy!
Our Super Summer Spectacular Series will begin next week, June 19th, with weekly, monthly and end of Summer prizes for attendance in classes.
For those students that are new to the program: during the summer we try to have a little more FUN during the break from school! Each time that you attend a karate class, your name will be entered into the drawing for weekly and monthly (family) prizes, such.
Weekly prizes will be $10 gift certificates to local business (i.e. Dunkin Donuts, Rita’s, etc). Monthly prizes will be fun things, like family games, etc.
The more you come to class the more chances you have to win a prize. You can earn more entries if you take one of the Flat Instructors (download in the members resources page within ZenPlanner) on vacation with you and post on social media. You can also earn an extra entry ticket by bringing a friend to class with you.
At the end of the summer, we will have a drawing for our Grand Prize: a new iPad!
So see you in class and let’s have FUN this summer!
Hey Dads! Did you know that many of our adult students started as parents that joined their kids in class? Would you like to learn a bit of karate and train with your student(s) during class? Are you ready for some fun and hard work?
I hope you answered “yes” to those questions, because we invite you to do just that… train with your student! Contact Jun Shihan Karen (karen@kellskarate.com) if you are interested in joining your student for some karate training and fun!
Bring a yoga mat and some water and your best Dad energy! It’s going to be a great to have you in class!
