SUMMARY:Lakeshore Martial Arts
DESCRIPTION:DSAWM is partnering with Fuzion Skillz again to provide more martial arts programming for members aged 8 and older! This class will be on Fridays from 5:00pm-6:00pm at the Fuzion Skillz studio (3006 West Shore Dr. Suite 150\, Holland MI 49424)!

Each activity is carefully adapted to support unique learning styles\, helping improve muscle tone\, posture\, focus\, and body awareness while also strengthening listening skills and emotional regulation. Most importantly\, the class creates a safe\, encouraging environment where everyone is celebrated\, friendships grow\, and students discover just how strong\, capable\, and proud they can be.  \n\n\n\nRegister HERE if you are interested in participating!  \n\n\n\nPlease email program@dsawm.org if you have any questions.
