Happy Monday Team!
We have some big events coming up in the next couple weeks!
This weekend a crew of grapplers head to the Grappling Industries tournament in Broomall, PA in search of some new hardware as well as some of our up-and-coming strikers taking their initial steps into the competition ring in West Philadelphia. Two days, two big events. Should be a ton of fun! We’ll have results and writeups for you next week of course.
Two weeks later, starting May 5th, Trevon Scales and Tim Green return to competition at the ISKA National Tournament in Delaware. This is the second of three national tournaments in our area this year, and division winners qualify for a spot on the ISKA National Team that will be competing in Vienna, Austria later this year at the World Tournament. I’m personally very excited for both of these athletes to win so I can return to my favorite Wurst Stand in Vienna 🙂
And finally, on May 11th, Gianna Vadino defends her Warrior’s Cup 130lb championship in Queens, NY.
Just an absolute bonkers amount of competition coming up and plenty of opportunities to support your team both on and off the mats. Stay posted for ticket and streaming info for any applicable events!
We are also launching a Youth Muay Thai program this Summer (starting June 4th and running until Labor Day Weekend) for ages 9+! Stay posted for some additional info in the coming week!
Tons of momentum heading into this week so make sure to get into the gym and contribute, rising tides lift all ships. I’ll see you there.
