Announcements...
Just wanted to make you guys aware of a few things:
1.) For the next month or two, Professor Busy will be volunteering on Monday and Wednesday for the Intermediate class. Coach Andres and I will be suiting up to train during this time. Please make sure you bring both gi and no gi stuff for this class. This is an excellent opportunity to train with a high level black belt and make some new friends and training partners on the mat so don't miss out!
2.) The MMA seminar with Chris Camozzi is coming up on 4/17. It will be here at the academy from 12:30-2:30. The cost will be $25 cash per person. The seminar is open to anyone, so if you know anyone who is interested please feel free to invite them. The proceeds will be going directly to Chris. Let's help him out so he can keep doing what he does best, making sure he gets into the UFC. Also, tune in on 3/31 to watch Chris on the TUF show on Spike.
3.) Isaiah Johnson, who trains at our academy, has an MMA fight (Army vs. Marines I believe) on 3/26 at the grizzly rose. We have tickets available for $25. It always helps to have your friends there when you are competing so help him out if you can.
4.) Congratulations to Gus Gustafson who won the charity bid for a private lesson with Chris Camozzi. A huge thanks to Gus and Chris who generously donated to a very worthy cause.
5.) Chase Hackett is fighting at the Tachi Palace on May 5th. When you see him around the gym training, make sure and wish him luck. If you don't know him, introduce yourself, he's a great guy!

Charity bid for privates with Chris Camozzi
Hey all,
Please see the following from Todd Mahlik:
"I have a friend who is having a benefit for his brother Sunday--his brother has cancer, works for himself, and is really fighting physically, financially, spiritually with the chemo treatments. I bought three hour long lessons from Chris Camozzi (he gave me a deal!) to be auctioned off, and I bet people at the gym would like to bid on them. I want to make sure that they have the opportunity to come by and bid on the lessons (or the other items for bid), or they can tell me and I will bid for them."
More info:
"This Sunday March 14, at 1:00 pm, friends and family of Troy Murray (a friend of Todd Mahlik) are having a benefit to raise money for his fight against Stage 4 Melanoma. The benefit is being held at the Tailgate Tavern & Grill (19552 E Mainstreet, Parker Colorado). There will be a drinks, food, and music from the DejaVudoo Band-- and there will be an Auctionand Raffle of items to raise money--including (3) one-hour training sessions with our friend Chris Camozzi (BJJ, Muay Thai, Boxing, or MMA, ! You can check out Troy's website at: http://www.troyfightscancer.org/the-benefit/ for more information about the event and Troy (or you can talk to Todd). If you would like to bid on any of the items (including the lessons!) show up OR just tell Todd and he will enter bids for you. Thanks so much!"
Thanks for your help!

Women's Muay Thai Class Underway/Schedule Changes
The women's Muay Thai clinic this weekend was a success and Kru Marc went ahead and formalized the class. The class will meet 2x week Wednesday from 7:30-8:30PM and Saturday morning from 9:30-10:30. Consequently, the Open Class has moved from 9AM to 10:30-11:30 Saturday morning. We apologize if this inconveniences anyone but we are excited to be able to offer the new Muay Thai class for the ladies and feel it will be a great addition to our growing lineup of classes at the gym.
So ladies, have a great time in the class and get your friends down here! And thank you for coming and making a good turn out!

Mats are getting packed!
As you may have noticed, the mats are getting busier. This is awesome, but we need to use our space well. Please make sure you are always paying attention to where everyone is around you and taking care of yourself and your partner.
Also, if you can, refer a friend. Whenever someone signs up that you referred you receive a $25 credit which you can use towards a purchase or as a discount off your dues. The more members we add, the sooner we can expand and get the next space over! That means two mat rooms!
Competition Training Saturday 12:30-2
We will be having the competition training this Saturday 3/6 12:30-2 PM. If you are planning on competing in the upcoming NAGA tournament, make sure you are there! If you are not competing but would like to get some good training in and help out the team, we would appreciate it.
