Summer has blown by already, and what a summer for the students and staff of KMAI! Our creativity team returned from Anaheim as world champions, gold-medaling at the WTSDA World Championship Tournament in California. Devin Lloyd from Hockessin returned as female junior grand champion and literally dozens of medals came home to our students.

Another fantastic accomplishment that must be recognized is the promotion of KMAI’s founder Master John Godwin. Sah Bum-Nim Godwin was promoted to the rank of 6th degree black belt at the event. It was almost exactly twenty years ago this month that he opened the first KMAI in Newport, Delaware. Our Black Belt Spectacular show in June was a huge success with nearly 600 people in attendance. The show was excellent, the centerpiece being the graduation of 40+ students, both adult and youth to black belt rank and higher. We ended the summer tournament season with the Eastern Regional held right in our backyard at Deltech’s Stanton campus. 5 of the seven grand champions were ours! We are looking forward to an exciting fall season. The Regional Championship in the Poconos is right around the corner and our teams will be defending a title they have held for years now. Next month is black belt testing and we have many exciting events planned, so keep your attendance up and read your calendars!
