NEWS AND UPDATES FROM THE NORTH STAR ACADEMY OF MIXED MARTIAL ARTS
WEEK OF JANUARY 26th, 2026
Monday Mindset, Junior Samurai Stripe Challenge, Membership Updates, and Facility FAQ Links all available at the bottom!
Happy Sunday team!
I’m sending this newsletter out one day early to make sure we get ahead of our scheduling for “THE WINTER STORM OF 2026.”
Due to the projected nature of the storm, we are tentatively cancelling all Monday classes at the academy. As of now, we are planning on being open regularly on Tuesday.
If conditions improve on Monday we’ll host an open mat — I’ll send out a quick e-mail and also post on our Instagram Page.
Event Calendar
- 1/31 – Studio Ghibli Movie Night (ages 8-13). Movies, pizza, and a hot chocolate bar. What could be cooler? Cost is $35/attendee and open to all students, siblings, and friends of the academy. Register here: Studio Ghibli Movie Night
- 2/1 – Women’s Muay Thai Open Mat (10am – rescheduled from 1/25)
- 2/7 – Battle in the Basement, NYC @ Church Street Boxing in FiDi (Makhi Anthony and debut of Dashaun Kimp)
- 2/21 – Gut Check Championships in Newark, Delaware featuring the Muay Thai debuts of Xavier Taylor and Ayden Southard. Tickets available soon.
See you on the mats!
