On Friday, May 15, from 6 to 7:30 p.m., the Midwest Shorin-Ryu Health & Wellness Center, in Franklin, will host an open house welcoming the community to explore holistic movement, martial arts and wellness practices in an engaging, family-friendly setting. 

Attendees will have an opportunity to tour the facility, meet instructors and experience live demonstrations of traditional Shorin-Ryu Karate, Okinawan Kobudo (weaponry), yoga and chair yoga and tai chi, each emphasizing balance, strength and mindful living. 

Rooted in decades of disciplined practice and a philosophy that movement can transform both body and mind, the center reflects a legacy where, as Sensei Morganne MacDonald shares, even an hour of focused training can quiet life’s daily pressures and restore clarity. 

Designed for beginners, seasoned practitioners and those seeking improved mobility and overall well-being, the event offers insight into programs that support lifelong health and vitality. 

Location: 9130 W. Loomis Rd., Ste. 750, Franklin. Admission is free and open to all ages. For more information, visit MidwestShorinRYU.com.
