St. Louis Science Center

We just wrapped up the weekends events here in St. Louis. Mr. Shank's Chesterfield ATA students were a great help with all of the festivities at the Science Center. Leonardo and Michelangelo were on hand to greet fans and even helped us teach some cool moves to the Girl Scout Troups who were visiting from Illinois. We also took advantage of the new sound system that was recently added to the TMNT party bus for a bit of a dance battle. Leonardo sure knows how to shake his shell and was declared the winner!!

The highlight of the weekend was most definitely getting the opportunity to teach a special private class to our new friend Noah who was introduced to us from the Make A Wish Foundation.

Thanks again St. Louis.... The TMNT Party Bus is off to Springfield, MO and on to Dallas for next weekend's City Arts Festival.

Michelangelo Visit's ATA in Champaign, IL

Greetings from Champaign, Illinois home of Newberry's ATA Black Belt Academy, where we have just experienced a radical TMNT 25th Anniversary Shell-e-bration . We had over 520 students, family members, friends and future students at our school to Shell-e-brate. We started the night off with an introduction to martial arts class where Michaelangelo made a special appearance and broke a board with a 360 degree spinning knifehand strike, COWABUNGA Dude!!

He was so kind take photos with our students and guests including a little boy with leukemia who was so excited to meet his hero. He said he is tough like the turtles when he goes in for his treatments.

Dominos pizza was there and served over 800 pieces of pizza... YES 800!!. The atmosphere was electrifying as we had a Dj playing a mix of his favorite turtle songs while people toured the bus, learned how to break a board, and talked about their favorite TMNT movie. The night was a huge success!!

Chicago was Awesome!

Wow!! We had a great time in the "Windy City" Navy Pier was a great place for the Turtles and the ATA meet fans! We gave away thousands of TMNT Buttons this weekend and it seemed like everywhere we went in the city they were being proudly displayed by fans of all ages. A big THANK YOU to all of the Instructors and students who attended and performed exciting demos for the crowds. The Team from Kalamazoo Michigan drove over 100 miles and brought a group of over 50 students and their families to meet Mikey and Leo!
