Happy Monday Team!
We just wrapped up a super busy weekend of events here at the academy!
Our first Women’s Open mat was a huge success! Big thank you to the organizers here at the academy (Itzel, Ariel, Kate,Allyson, Gianna, Isis, etc — I am actually not even in the loop on who did what so I’m sure I am missing some people!) who helped set it up and spread the word. We will be hosting another women’s open mat on Sunday, October 5th, strictly for BJJ. This next event is part of the Women’s Open Mat Collective group and should bring in a diverse group!
We also had a great showing at Rami Elite for their smoker event! Ade, Ayden, and Makhi all put on some great performances in the ring and showcased their skills. These events are incredibly appreciated as they allow some “stress testing” of systems, athletes, etc without the huge risk that sport fighting carries. As always, some stuff to tune up in the lab but that’s the nature of the sport. Congrats to all!
There are a few potential events in the pipeline over the next month or so but nothing on our immediate calendar except some hard work 🙂
I’ll see you on the mats!
