We're wishing everyone a Happy Easter this weekend! We'll be open for business as usual on Saturday, but closed on Easter Monday to celebrate the holiday. Make the most of your time off, and get your egg-hiding/hunting gear ready.

Hey, it's Friday! Time to kick back and relax. While rest and relaxation are vitally important to overall health and well-being, take time to remember what your goals are, and why they're important to you.

Happy Wednesday! What are you learning and creating in your life? What would you change?

Warrior Wednesday Quote Of The Day:

"WHEN THE ROOTS ARE DEEP, THERE IS NO REASON TO FEAR THE STORM" Start your week with confidence and strength.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Well, 2020 certainly turned out a lot different than most of us thought it would in 2019! While there’ve been challenges, frustrations, and changes on so many fronts, there have also been some very important take-aways we cannot forget. We’ve been reminded of how valuable our family, our time, our work, and our connections to others really are. We saw every country on our planet collectively work together to mitigate the terrible effects of a global pandemic t...he likes of which hasn’t been seen in over 100 years. We’ve seen communities and individuals strive to ensure the health and safety of all, even in the midst of personal hardship. We’ve seen how fragile our planet earth is, and how much we need each other in order to see us through the next 100+ years. These have been the lessons of a lifetime. Let’s not lose the lessons we’ve learned. Let’s focus on making ourselves and our world better, in whatever ways we can. Find your passions, goals, and dreams, and follow them! We anticipate re-opening our studio on January 25th, 2021, in accordance with guidelines set out by the Ministry of Health. You can rest assured that we will continue with all the safety precautions currently in place, and any others that may be required by the Ministry in the future. 2021 can and will be our strongest year yet, as long as we all continue to commit to our goals! Stay well and stay safe Melanie and Steve Stewart Modern Martial Arts Academy | 519-438-5425 |www.londonmmaa.com
