NEWS AND UPDATES FROM THE NORTH STAR ACADEMY OF MIXED MARTIAL ARTS
WEEK OF AUGUST 26TH, 2024
Happy Monday Team!
Coming off a productive, but unfortunate weekend at the WKA tournament. Standout Tim Green worked his tail off in preparation for his entry into the 174lb Open Class division, which featured some of the toughest fighters from around the country. Tim fought a hard 3 rounds and lost a decision in the quarter finals, taking him out of the tournament. An overall solid performance, with some new skills added to the mix, but unfortunately not enough to advance.
Tim returns to action in late October in Vienna, Austria in the ISKA International Championship tournament so it’s on to the next one! Thank you to the staff, students, and supporters who helped get this guy ready. Big things in the pipeline for Tim!
