Kells Karate Academy Will Be Feature on WTMD Sat. Morning Tunes TV – YouTube

Finding good, fun, educational streaming programming for young people can be challenging.

One of our local radio stations, 89.7 WTMD, has wonderful kid programming on Sat. mornings. This used to be in the form of local kid-oriented music and entertainment at the station or local venues. Due to our current situation, they have switched to YouTube streaming content featuring local musicians and performers.

And this Saturday, Kells Karate Academy, Jun Shihan Karen and few of our students will be featured on the show! Jun Shihan will teach some basic techniques and self-defense and introduce kids to karate. It’s great way to see what Kells Karate Academy has to offer and see how much fun it is to practice karate with us!

The program will be available after 7am on Saturday, 2/27 on the WTMD Youtube page.

Please tune in on Saturday and see how much fun we have!
