Dragon Spirit Martial Arts. I'm very good and I'm excited. You guys have a fun event coming up. It's not this Saturday, it's next Saturday, right correct, the sixteenth, And this is at.
The new facility. How are you liking the new place?
Loving it? It's a lot of work putting together a new place, but it's coming along nicely and plenty of room to grow, plenty room for new students.
That is awesome.
So let's talk about Dragon Spirit Martial Arts first and then we're going to chat about the event that's coming up. What are the different things you guys do, because you do more than one thing, but what are the things that you guys cover at your particular facility.
Yep, So right now Monday, wednes Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, we do taekwondo classes. I've also got a kickboxing class. So if you're not into earning your black belt and things like that, but you want a good workout and you want to learn all the techniques, you can do that. And then I also have a preschool program that I do on Saturdays to where your preschooler can learn different balance and agility and everything else to get them started down that path.
I love that. And again, this is not a new business.
You've been around a bit, but you're in a new location and it's on the Harrisburg and T exit.
Is that how you say that?
Yeah, yep, it's just right off of exit seventy one. Okay, just to the west of block and the north of block.
Very good and again I'm excited to come out and check it out. I saw some photos on the internet and it looks it looks great.
Yeah, yeah, it's great. Moved in some other equipment even today.
Nice.
So let's talk now about what we have coming up on Saturday the sixteenth, because you've got a great event coming up and it's a free event, so I want to say that first.
So hopefully that Ears just perked up. Ooh, free what is this?
So?
What is the event that's coming up on Saturday the sixteenth.
So Saturday the sixteenth, I'm doing a self defense seminar that is geared towards women and teen girls. It's called Empower Hurt. And this is not something new that I've done. I've taught different various self defense courses over the years for Lift and Uber and all of different organizations, and this is really going to be very impactful. It's a ninety minute seminar that goes by really really fast, and you learn different de escalation, how to spot bad situations.
We'll do some different hands on drills, just a wide range of things.
And again it's Saturday at the sixteen ten am to eleven thirty am and it's free. So and this is open to anybody from anywhere or is it just people in Sioux Falls or who can come to this?
Anybody can come to it. We do have the event on Facebook that has the address and everything like that.
And we'll share that to make that even easier.
Yep, no pre registration is necessary to show up, bring where some come. We'll work out clothing and bring a water bottle and an open mind.
There you go.
Again, it's coming up Saturday, and this is for women and for teenage girls and empower her. I love that, and you've done this in the past, but this is the first time in the new facility.
Yes, yep, this is probably my eighth time doing this somehow, if I remember right.
I love that.
I think it's a really cool thing. So again, that is coming up this Saturday, not this Saturday. Next Saturday, the sixteenth, ten am to eleven thirty am. It's free. It's just outside of Swoo Falls on the Harrisburg and TXIT seventy one.
Did you say yes?
So see, I know where it is. I just don't know how to tell people where it is, so but we'll get them there. And the nice thing is I'll share that Facebook event to make it really, really easy. And if people are interested in Dragon Spirit Martial Arts, you guys have a social media that they can follow as well.

I love that and the thing to see you guys you know what you're doing. You got some national champions in your in your place, which is really cool.
Yeah, we do. We had two athletes go to Salt Lake City this year. They both came back gold medalist and we're looking we're already training and planning for next year, which is going to be in Tampa.
That's awesome.
So if there's somebody listening, going, hey, I want to I want to live the Cobra high lifestyle. I want to live the karate kid because again, that's the first thing that comes to my mind, and I know it's probably a lot different than that, isn't it.
Well, And that's actually what got me into martial arts. Is it?
Really?
The original karate kid moving back in the eighties is what got me in, and that's what got me into the first dojo, and it was a lot different back then. We were doing you know, bare knuckle push ups on Minnesota Avenue, on this on the sidewalks and everything to try to bring more people in. And it was a different experience.
You had creased teaching. It sounds like it was close.
It was no Miagi, there was there no Well, if somebody listening would have any interest in this, I'm going to make it really easy for them to find the info.
