Saturday Open Mat Sessions 12:30-2

Coach Andres will now be hosting Saturday Open Mat from 12:30-2 - every Saturday. Please do your best to make it this Saturday 11/21 to kick it off. This can be a time for the BJJ crew to get together for some good training. It's always best to bring your gi & some shorts so we can train one or both. You need two stripes on your white belt to attend this session.

Also, coach is getting ready to go to Grappler's Quest in Vegas in December so he needs to do a lot of extra training. This Saturday session is a great time to come and help him get that in. Even though we compete as individuals it is always a team effort to get everyone ready. Your help is appreciated!

Thanks to everyone who came out for the seminar...

A great time was had by all! If you are going to be training this week you will need to get 14-16oz gloves, a mouthpiece and a cup if you are a guy. You may want some hand wraps as well. Here is a link to get some... Kru Marc says the longer the better.

Muay Thai Intro Seminar this weekend and filming...

Make sure you guys make it for the Muay Thai seminar this Saturday at 12:30 with Kru Marc. Please bring anyone you like as well. The cost is $10 for members, $20 for non-members. We will have 5 loaner pairs of gloves here at the academy so if you need a pair for the seminar please speak with Coach Ian or Andres and we will reserve a pair for you.

Also, my brother will be in town starting Saturday thru Tuesday. We will be getting plenty of footage from the seminar and maybe doing an interview or two. Next Monday, we will focus on BJJ training so please come for fundamentals or intermediate or both that day. We want to get plenty of footage of you guys training and do some interviews. It will really help out the academy if you can be here for Monday night's classes.

Thank you!
