I have been in PoCo Excel for just under a year – joined to do it with my wife and son as a family. We have grown together as well as in rank, not to mention the 45 lbs I have dropped ! Ok – I will mention it – great work outs with great folks give support and motivation … even for a getting slightly older parent!

Good afternoon everyone!
Because the heat has not let up and the smoke is much heavier today, our instruction team has concluded that we should remain closed for tonight's classes. Having looked at the weather forecast, we're certain that we will be open for our Saturday morning classes tomorrow!
Stay cool and hydrated, see you on the mat!
Good afternoon parents!
Unfortunately, After much deliberation the instructors have looked at the heat forecast for today as well as the BC smoke map and we have concluded that we must close for classes this evening. We apologize for the inconvenience, but we have always prided ourselves on placing the health and safety of our members and staff first. We are going to monitor the situation for tomorrow, please stay tuned for an update!
Have a great evening, stay cool and hydrated, and we'll see you on the mat SOON!

While exercising is an important habit your children should be practicing regularly, they could be missing out on a crucial factor: stretching!
Stretching helps to increase:
~Agility
~Joint health and range of motion
~Blood flow to the muscles
~Reduced muscle tension
For kids, stretches should be part of an overall, daily physical activity routine. Even though flexibility often seems to come naturally to children, we should always make sure stretching is included. Especially during growth spurts, children's and teens' muscles may be tight, and stretching can help!

"Not every behavior requires a consequence."
Instead, focus on helping children re-direct poor behavior with positive reinforcement of lessons to help them learn. This will help foster good behavior by desire rather than fear.
Part of our program includes serving as a resource for parents as well as kids. feel free to join our parents' group where you can ask questions and get advice from our team and the other amazing parents.
These kids love being pushed on the swings. Mr. D has earned his Tim's break!
We will be closed this coming Saturday and Monday for B.C. Day. Enjoy the long weekend with family and friends and we'll see you on the mat on Tuesday!!
Martial Arts isn't just about teaching children how to defend themselves. It's about helping them reach their potential and giving them the tools they need to become leaders in our community.
