New students and parents - this video is for you! How do you tie your student's belt on? This quick tutorial will show you how its done at Omega Martial Arts. We also tell you the meaning behind your belt. After you tie your belt, then ends should be even and balanced.

Over the past 40 years of my life I have had the amazing opportunity to learn from some of the best human beings to ever live! I know everyone would say such a thing about the people who have molded them and been the angels they needed in the right times of their lives. However, this blog will be about the many [...]
If you have never tested in an Omega Formal Test, let me explain how the process works so you know what to expect! You will be tested on your knowledge, skill level and ability to perform the required techniques required for your desired belt rank advancement. Each tester will do the majority of their requirements at a designated testing table. We test also your ability to stay focused on the instructors in front of you. There will be 6 tables running. When all the tables are done, we will then come together and have the board breaking portion of the [...]

If you normally attend the 5 - 6 or 6 - 7 PM classes, please come to the 4 - 5 PM class for tonight only. Please make sure to bring your sparring gear too (if you have it).
For those who are aware, one of our amazing instructors, Sab. Catherine McNeece, was diagnosed with stage 4 ovarian cancer last month. We are working hard to make sure she feels love from the Omega family. There has been a push to set up a collection of donated funds, and/or letters of love and encouragement for her. If you are interested in donating any funds please see Kwan. Richard or Chung. Sarah at the studio. If you would like to send give her a letter, you can turn those in at the office too. Anything helps.
