New Hampshire, or as our whimsical, tail-twirling, Kung Fu kicking squirrel friend, Nutty Ninja, likes to call it, "The Nutmeg Ninja Nation," is a stunning state. It’s a place where the mountains reach high, tickling the tummy of the sky, lakes shimmer like a million twinkling stars, and the autumn leaves dance in orange, red, and gold. It's a place where the very air you breathe is laced with the scent of fresh pine and adventure. Now, the kids in this beautiful land are as gutsy and gung-ho as they come, especially those enrolled in Kung Fu. Nutty Ninja considers them the champions of chutzpah and the superheroes of spirit. They are the ones who can do a roundhouse kick while munching on pancakes, and tie their shoelaces into a perfect bow while performing a somersault, all thanks to their impeccable Kung Fu skills. Every day, these kids train in the Great Granite Dojo, a magical training hall nestled between two giant maple trees. They chop the cold morning air with their hands, twirl around like dervishes, and strike poses that would make a pretzel envious. They don't just master Kung Fu; they infuse it with the spirit of New Hampshire, tough as granite and as fluid as the Merrimack River. But the best part? They do it all while laughing, cracking jokes, and making the often strict and serious art of Kung Fu as fun as a roller coaster ride. Nutty Ninja, their furry, nut-loving mascot, often finds himself in stitches, rolling on the mat, unable to contain his laughter. So, if you're looking for a Kung Fu journey packed with adventure, fun, and a squirrel with a serious nut obsession, New Hampshire is the place to be!

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children.
