At TONCHU Martial Arts, we do our best to build a village of love & support. This past Monday, May 26th, one of our families experienced an unimaginable tragedy. One of our students, Noah Arias, 6 years of age, tragically lost his life in a car accident, along with his 66-year-old Grandmother.

Noah was quiet, & one of the smallest in our Black Belt Training class, but he had one of the biggest hearts, as well as being one of the hardest working students in class. In the year of training he had at TONCHU, his growth as a Martial Artist, & confident young man was tremendous. Every single class his parents & grandmother sat in our lobby & showed unwavering support of Noah.

At this time, there are no words that will take away the pain the Arias family are experiencing. We want to step up like a village should & show our support. At this time to respect the family's privacy, we will not be releasing any other information regarding this tragic event. We are accepting donations on behalf of the family to help them to offset any costs associated with their sudden losses. If anyone has any questions, please feel free to see an instructor at the school. Thank you everyone for your love & support.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Arias family during this challenging time.

Gosu!
