Congratulations to all of our students who participated in this weekend's Kyu Testing!

We are incredibly proud of each of you for the hard work, dedication, and courage you demonstrated. Testing is about more than earning your next belt—it is an opportunity to challenge yourself, showcase your growth, and continue your journey as a martial artist.

Whether you advanced in rank or received valuable feedback to help you improve, every step forward is progress. Remember that karate is a lifelong journey, and every lesson learned today will make you stronger tomorrow.

Thank you to our students, families, instructors, and volunteers for making this weekend's testing a success. We look forward to seeing everyone continue to grow both on and off the dojo floor.

Congratulations, everyone!

🥋 ZBK Competition Team – Nikkei Games 2026 🥋

Good luck to our Zen Bushido Kan Karate-Do Competition Team as they prepare to compete at the Nikkei Games Karate Tournament this Sunday, August 9th at the Cal State Long Beach Pyramid!

Every tournament is another opportunity to challenge ourselves, learn, grow, and represent our dojo with honor. While medals and trophies are exciting, what makes us most proud is seeing our students demonstrate the values we practice every day—respect, perseverance, humility, discipline, and indomitable spirit.

To all of our competitors:

-Trust your training.

-Give your best effort.

-Support your teammates.

-Win or lose, leave the tatame knowing you represented ZBK with integrity.

We would love to see our ZBK family in the stands! If you have the opportunity, come out and cheer on your teammates as they compete. Your encouragement and support mean more than you know, and having a strong ZBK presence helps motivate our athletes throughout the day.

We are incredibly proud of each and every one of you for your dedication and hard work. Thank you to our families, coaches, and volunteers for your continued support.

Let's show everyone what Zen Bushido Kan Karate-Do is all about!

📍 Location: Walter Pyramid, Cal State Long Beach
