Happy Monday Team!
What a weekend! Friday night saw competitors Brittany Walker and Paul Sims engage on the Ground Zero Grappling stage here in Philadelphia. Both put in strong performances but did not walk away with wins. So it goes sometimes!
Saturday we shot up to New York City for Gianna Vadino’s full rules thaiboxing fight. Gianna took on a tough and experienced South American competitor and wore her down to a 3rd round TKO finish, improving to 5-0.
You know how hard these athletes work so their success is not surprising!
Next weekend we have “Super” Tre Scales competing in Delaware at Gut Check Championships on Saturday night! Tickets are still available — contact us for information on how to grab yours!
Aside from competition, we are now in the full swing of our new class schedule — please take a moment to review the schedule online and bookmark the link for reference as well.
Students interested in full sparring (Striking 301, Thursdays at 6pm) should reach out to a coach for more information. Sparring is the highest level of training you can participate in and will greatly increase your skills!
However, please note that there is a certain etiquette and skill to sparring in and of itself. Be coachable, play fair, and you will have a great time.
Also, tonight we have a special gift for you all — Phreskoo juice, based out of North West Philadelphia, will be offering samples of their Fall flavors tonight from about 7:15pm onwards. Phreskoo is a local startup based here in North West Germantown and specializes in Haitian recipes and fresh ingredients! |
