There is still room left for the bus trip this weekend… A bus will take you to and from the fights and you can relax, eat, drink, etc on the bus. There will be 50/50 drawing and a lot of fun things to do. Thus far, we have over 50 people committed to going and it’s almost sold out. Get your tickets from us ASAP!!! Wes Hanson is selling tickets and receives a commission for doing this, so please buy them from us.
The fights are in Akron, Ohio and Wes Hanson would love your support. He is our most electrifying up and comer and is currently undefeated in MMA and holds two titles. Don’t miss watching him fight live!
Also, December will be official belt and stripe testing month. If you to schedule a private to test or work on your game let me know ASAP. December is going to be another crazy month.

I have had an idea to have an “Ultimate Cardio Challenge” for our cardio class and anyone in the gym who wanted to try. The reason being, it is important to set goals and see improvements because, “he who stops being better, stops being good.”
We need benchmarks to see our improvements and challenges to make us better. So, we will have a fun, healthy competition, with the purpose to see how far you can push yourself and how much you can improve your results in the future. As most of you know, I am, or was, involved with Crossfit in WV. Crossfit has a very similar concept and we will actually use much of their format as a model for our competition because it’s already a worldwide success. However, ours will be different in the fact that we can actually add martial arts to our programming and we can, and will, use many programs that mixed Martial arts competitors already use.
Overview of What Will Happen
Participants will complete a minimum of three workouts in one day to be crowned the Ultimate Cardio Challenge Champion. Each event will be timed, or involve a formula, to have a winner of each portion of the competition. The Goal will be to have an ultimate winner. However, we will also save individual times and repeat these workouts in a future competition to gauge improvements.
Going in, I did not know what to expect from the classes. I have been to other martial arts classes in the area only to be let down by either high cost for little instruction or just simply non-realistic systems. As a newcomer to the classes I was surprised how easy-going the instruction is. Students that have been participating longer than I, are not there just to win but rather they are like "instructors", each with something that you can learn from. I take pride in being apart of this school.
