NEWS AND UPDATES FROM THE NORTH STAR MMA ACADEMY

 

Happy Monday Team!

First I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who came out this Saturday for our 7 year anniversary get together.  It was super low key, but a ton of fun.  As is often the case I usually forget to take pictures, and this time was no exception.  Apologies to all for that but there’s something to be said about having such a good time that you stay in the moment (and off your cell phone).

 

June looks to be a big month for the academy with a ton of changes and updates to the programs here!

Our Youth Muay Thai program kicks off this Tuesday at 5pm — students enrolled in our youth program are automatically invited to attend, but do require boxing gloves, shin pads, knee pads, and a mouth guard in order to participate.  We have a starter kit available for $75 if you’d like the convenience of acquiring the equipment at the gym.

 

Additionally, our new Saturday schedule begins this Saturday!  Striking 301 and Striking 101 will be combined into the 10am timeslot, with a BJJ open mat to follow (striking students are welcome to stick around and continue to train throughout the afternoon).  Our competition team training will run from 8am -10am on Saturdays as well.

Morning classes begin next week on June 10th.  We have added 9am Striking 101 classes and 10am Jiu Jitsu classes on Mondays and Thursdays!  Monday will be nogi, Thursday gi.

 

Beyond that, it’s business as usual on the mats.  With the warmer weather moving in it’s more important than ever to update your hygiene and gear maintenance habits and ensure that you are bringing the best and freshest version of yourself to the mats!

A pre-training shower and keeping your gear dry after each session goes a long way in keeping out the funk.  Your efforts in this regard are greatly appreciated.

I’ll see you all on the mats!
