I hope you are all doing well and staying busy and healthy. On Wednesday, April 22, we began offering small group classes online. Our first class was for our youngest students. Little Kickers ages 4-7 were invited to join us at 11 am for a 30-minute online class.

We are so excited to be able to see everyone and hope you can join us for some training and fun. We will use this first class to help us understand how we can offer great classes for all our students. Stay tuned for more class schedules in the coming days.

NOTE: If you are looking to have a private lesson with an MPK instructor, here is a link to select with appointment options: Private Lesson | 20 minutes

I hope this post finds you all in good spirits and enjoying your family time! I am reaching out to let everyone know what our plan is here at the studio.

As of Saturday morning we will be putting all memberships on hold until May 1. We understand that this unfortunate public health situation may go on for longer than that. As we get through April we will again reassess the current situation and make a decision at that time.

I am adding additional curriculum to our MPK Studio App Library. I currently have added some awesome age-specific workouts. I will also be adding more curriculum for your specific belt rank so there will be a wide variety of information you can use to get a great, at home workout!

I know this is a very stressful time for all our families. Getting in a workout is a terrific way to break up the day and get some blood pumping. Moms and dads please feel free to jump in and create some friendly family challenges!
If you get some great energy going, please feel free to share on our Facebook Page

One last thing: if anyone needs help with anything, please let us know. We have an awesome community who would be glad to assist in any way we can.

Be safe and we hope to see you all soon!

I have made a very difficult decision to close our MPK Deforest Studio for at least the next week. I have made this decision with the guidance of health professionals with the best interests of our members and staff in mind. Tomorrow our staff will meet and start putting together some awesome at home training plans for our families.

We will continue to monitor advice from our incredible health officials and local authorities to let you know when we can get back to training here at the studio. Thank you and be well!

Sincerly, Mr. Armstrong

We are happy to announce our next Ninja Night (aka, Parents’ Night Out) on Saturday, February 29. Drop off the kids for a few hours of fun and games! MPK will serve pizza and a juice box, so dinner is handled. This is a great way to share MPK with a friend — make it a bring a buddy night, too!

This time, students will be split into two groups based on age:

• Little Kickers (ages 4-7) will have their Ninja Night from 3-5 pm.
• Juniors (ages 8 and up) will have their Ninja Night from 6-9 pm.

You can find Ninja Night in the MPK app under the Events section, or:

• You can sign up Little Kickers here.
• You can sign up Juniors here.

The first student is $20 and each additional student is $15, so bring a friend! Please let us know if you have any problems signing up, we’d be happy to help.

Save a spot now! We expect to fill up…

And lastly, congratulations to everyone who successfully tested earlier this week!

We ARE open tonight! We have belt testing beginning at 5:30pm for our gold, orange and green belt students. Please arrive 10 minutes early to prepare for the test. We expect the test to last 45-60 minutes.

Yoga is also happening this evening at 6pm!
