Happy Labor Day team!

I apologize for missing last week’s e-mail — my excuse is legitimate, but terrible: I was somewhere along the western coast of Ireland dodging mountains and sheep 🙂  Internet cafes aren’t much of a thing in Ireland, even in Dublin and Galway.  So, apologies there!

We have an extremely busy month here at the academy.  Please pay attention to any specific schedule changes, and be aware that there may be additional schedule changes TBD as we approach other events.

• 9/7 Wednesday
  • MILTONPALOOZA!  We are saying goodbye to our dear coach Milton and will send him off in style.  Please note, there will be no 7:30pm Striking 101 — we are running an all levels striking class at 6pm!
• 9/10 Saturday
  • New weekly schedule starts (see below).  Thursday, 9/8, is still running our regular schedule.
• 9/16 Friday
  • Ground Zero Grappling at the Sheet Metal Union Workers Hall in South Philadelphia featuring Paul Sims and Brittany Walker!
• 9/17 Saturday
  • Freedom Fighter Promotions Muay Thai in Yonkers, NY featuring Gianna Vadino!
• 9/24 Saturday
  • Gut Check Championship in Hockessin, DE featuring Trevon Scales!

Contact us for ticket information for any of these shows!

Looking forward into October we have some additional fight events, grappling tournaments, and a fundraising social event as well.  Gonna be a busy fall!

Our weekly schedule changes, starting on 9/10 (Saturday), are as follows:

• Saturdays
  • 12pm Sparring cancelled
  • 8am Fighter Systems Training added.  Invitation only.  Contact for more info.
• Thursdays
  • 6pm Striking 101 cancelled

Make sure to get on the mats this month and help our team prepare!

Students can earn a red stripe on their belt this week by completing the following workout in one session (rest periods are ok!):

2 Minute Wall Sit (legs at 90 degrees)

50 Pushups

50 Jumping Jacks

Make sure to encourage your child to get it done because this one is hard!
