For 25 years, the House of Champions Martial Arts Academy in Van Nuys has prepared students to defend themselves from dangers that may lurk around any corner.
Unfortunately, one opponent wasn't not susceptible to punches or kicks.
The school was forced to close to in-person classes in March because of the coronavirus pademic.

While school officials waited patiently for the chance to open, they prepared the school for the new normal.
"We were planning our 25th anniversary gala when the shutdown came," said Shihan Mark Parra, owner and chief instructor.
"It didn't feel real for the first couple of weeks. I kept thinking it was going to be quick, but I got heavy-hearted every time they pushed the opening back. It floored me." Parra said, reflected on the closure.
Last week, the facility opened its doors for eager students that couldn't wait to return to the dojo.
The water fountain and most of the equipment is now off-limits to students, who must arrive dressed for class and bring their own beverages.
Temperature checks and hand sanitizing are required for people entering the dojo. Students must bring all their equipment, with no loaner gear available because of the risk of cross-contamination.
The sizes of classes are kept at a level that ensures proper spacing in the 6,200-foot facility. Spaces on the training floor are marked with appropriate physical distancing to keep participants safely apart.
"We can spread out pretty good," said Parra.
The physical contact that is a staple of martial-arts training is on hold for now.
"We are not doing any combatives right now, that includes give and take drills, sparring, and ground fighting," Parra said. "My hope is sooner than later we can get back into the combatives and that people will feel safe to come in."
"He was jumping up and down, he was so excited to come back," said Lumey Linares, whose son, Ceasar, is a budding martial artist enrolled at the school.
Beginning-level children, students worked on punches, kicks and blocks after a warm-up of jumping jacks and push-ups.
"Front ball kick and Ki," instructor David Hernandez shouted at the students as they followed along as best they could. Little hands and feet were flying as the social distancing karate students worked up a sweat.
Extra time is allotted between classes that allow the staff to properly clean and sanitize the school before the next group arrives.
A hand-washing station was added to the school with hot running water. Industrial-strength disinfectants — the kind used in hospital settings — are used after each class and after each piece of equipment is used, according to Parra.
"It's good for the kids, they need some kind of normalcy," said Rachel Prince, whose son Jaxon participated in the class, "and they (House of Champions) are taking the right precautions, I feel totally safe being here."
Class ended with no hugs or handshakes. The students bowed off the mats and headed home.
The instructor's job was not finished yet. They picked up pump spray containers with disinfectant and wiped down every inch of the training floors and all the gear.

Studio 8H may be vacant due to COVID-19, but new Saturday Night Live sketches are still being produced — sort of. Jason Sudeikis and Seth Meyers' kids starred in a cut SNL sketch titled "Unicorn," which aired on Monday night. In the Second Chance Theatre segment for Late Night With Seth Meyers, Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde' children, Otis, 6, and Daisy, 3, and Meyers' children, Ashe, 4, and Axel, 2, resurrected a scrapped sketch penned by SNL writer Mike O'Brien about a unicorn with pink eye. Filmed across three different backyards due to quarantine, "Unicorn" also stars Sudeikis and O'Brien as a father and a unicorn caregiver, respectively. The sketch begins with Sudeikis as he gifts his four children their own pet unicorns during a birthday party. However, his dreams to give his children the perfect gift are ultimately shattered when the unicorns turn out to be "the nightmare of all gifts," per Meyers' narration. "Now I wasn...
Now that the United States has begun to reopen, apparel brands are hoping for the return of shoppers—and perhaps even permitting themselves to think optimistically about their autumn collections. After all, fall is just around the corner, and many shoppers start looking for chilly weather clothing as early as July. But as with so many other facets of business, the pandemic hasn't just changed shopping patterns but marketing, too. Few brands are feeling that shift as acutely as French Toast. As a maker of accessibly priced school clothes for kids, the 35-year-old label stakes much of its vitality on back-to-school shopping. And since parents will start thinking about school clothes in just a few weeks, now's the time to get the creative work done, since it's all scheduled to go live on June 30. The question was: Where do you even begin? Nobody's sure when kids will be heading back to school, much less what school's going to look like once they g...
