Unlike other gyms, ILKB is far less clique-y, frat-bro-y, and easily the most enthusiastic and supportive gym I’ve attended. I love everything about this place from the incredible trainers who not only make sure to learn the names of all the members, but make a point of interacting with each and every one of us at every single class, pay attention to our individual abilities, and push us to do better for ourselves, to the other members who support each other unconditionally. I’m not going to lie, it was hard at the beginning. The 15 minutes of core at the start of each class used to be the stuff my nightmares were made of. I hadn't done a pushup in years, let alone burpees or jumping lunges. After regularly attending classes for about 2 months now, I've noticed that my strength and endurance have improved SO much. I can even make it through the “15 minutes of hell” without complaining now! ILKB and the wonderful people that are a part of it have truly changed my life. ...read more

Dragon Festival-Pekiti Tirsia Demonstration
I recently had the pleasure of helping to demonstrate the Vasayan Phillipino Martial art of Pekiti Tirsia at the Dragon Festival in St. Paul, a link to the video clip is here As an instructor of Jeet Kun Do and Filipino Martial Arts under Sifu Mike O'Melia (in the camouflage pants in the clip) I have had the honor of learning from some of the foremost martial artists in the world (Guru Dan Inosanto-Inosanto Academy, Tuhon Bill McGrath-Pekiti Tirsia Intl., Sifu Erik Paulsen-CSW, Sijo Rick Faye-Minnesota Kali Group and the list goes on) One of the take-away's that I have gotten out of the experiences I have had with all of these individuals was that the body and mind must be maintained, if the mind is poisoned, the body will be poisoned, if the body is poisoned, the mind will be poisoned Mens sana in corpore sano (a healthy mind in a healthy body) My physical condition is easily maintained with as little as 10 minutes of work with a pair of indian clubs or a kettlebell, some martial arts drills, a little work on the pads or bag...... seriously, as little as 10 minutes a day can keep you in fantastic shape and easily maintain a skill set that can keep your mind calm under stress, and possibly help to preserve your life, the lives of your family and friends, or even a stranger for there is no greater love the physical part of the demonstration is simple, the mental part, maintaining composure and staying calm when engaged in what could well be a tricky situation, is really simple as well, believe it or not The practice of Kali is meant to enable the practitioner to be comfortable in any environment and in any situation, to be able to "walk as a warrior for all of your days" enjoy the clip and if you have any questions, just drop a line I would be happy to help with anything you may like to know about. ...read more

Affordable and Different Kind of Dance Experience
Are you looking for a dance class for your child that treats all of the dancers fairly? At Just For Kix, ALL of our dancers are special. Almost all of our classes are separated by age, so kids can dance with their friends. We treat all of our classes like a team, so dancers learn the value or teamwork, perseverence and comaraderie. All dancers are expected to meet high expectations, no matter how much experience they have. All the while, we make dancing fun! The fun is in the learning and achieving. To help boost self-esteem and self-confidence, we offer 3-4 performances a year for each class. We have found that maximum exposure to audiences actually help the kids feel more confident with every performance. Some of our classes, consisting of kids 4th-12th grade, do compete at Just For Kix sanctioned events. Just For Kix has over 170 dance programs in the seven-state area. These events are exciting and focus on performing at your very best. Awards are given, but are not the main focus of the day. Give us a look! We do not operate our own studio - we rent from existing facilites. This is how our prices can be so low - think about it. When you take your child to a studio, you are paying for the instructor, yes, but you are also paying for their rent, electric bill, phone/internet bill, water bill, etc. For us, we simply pay a flat rental fee, which saves our customers money. We wouldn't have it any other way. We have held our classes at Redeemer Lutheran Church at 3770 Bellaire Avenue in White Bear Lake since 1996. They have been fantastic to us and the location has worked well for us. Feel free to check us out - we won't be there over the summer, but feel free to come by during a class from September-April and check us out. ...read more
