Traditional Martial Arts School Created Dynamic Opening for Karate Kid Movie  
Long Beach, California.  United Artists asked Lakewood Budo Kai, one of Long Beach’s oldest running traditional martial arts schools, to provide an exciting martial arts demo to help promote the opening of the Karate Kid Movie.  “We’re partnering with UA Marketplace to help promote the new Karate Kid movie." Traditional martial arts -- crosses borders, builds confidence and teaches people how to defend themselves. The Karate Kid movie helps highlight those same messages. In conjunction with UA Marketplace we’re helping demonstrate those messages to the community of Long Beach.”
 
Special Training with Jujitsu Master  
Alameda, California.  Students of Lakewood Budo Kai were honored when we were invited to receive special jujitsu training from master and legend Professor Wally Jay.  Professor Jay invited us to his personal dojo in Alameda, California where it was an honor to learn from the master himself. This was all made possible through the special history and respect between Lakewood Budo Kai’s head instructor, Jim Kelton, and Professor Jay. Professor Jay is founder of Jujitsu America and has received numerous awards including:
  • Jujitsu Instructor of the Year (Black Belt Magazine 1969)
  • Man of the Year (Black Belt Magazine 1990)
  • Sister City Program - Lakewood Budo Kai Honored in Yokkaichi, Japan  
    Yokkaichi, Japan.  Lakewood Budo Kai was invited to become a member of the Long Beach - Yokkaichi Sister City Program. The sister city program, sponsored through the City of Long Beach, helps foster cultural exchange and understanding between Long Beach, CA and Yokkaichi, Japan. As a gesture of friendship and exchange, Lakewood Budo Kai sent a senior representative to Japan to meet with cultural officials and heads of other Japanese martial arts schools.  We are proud to be a member of the Long Beach - Yokkaichi Sister City program and are working to build cultural exchange and relationships.
