Bjj Seminar and Graduation

BJJ Black Belt, Bruce Shephard visited Club MMA on May 11, 2009 for a seminar. Head Instructor, Jeff Robison, first met Bruce at a J.J. Machado Seminar that he hosted lasted year in Evansville, Indiana. It was a great fit, as he has continued to visit and train monthly at the Jiu Jitsu Academy. The 3 hour drive to Evansville has been very worth it, as training with Bruce and his students has been a great learning experience.

Bruce conducted his first seminar with us and we had a great student turnout. He covered a lot of cool techniques for us and spent time on the mat with every student rolling. At the end, Bruce explained briefly his viewpoints on training and how to earn belts, only to then surprise us all with a few tip and belt promotion!

Congratulations to our New Blue Belts:
Mike Sweeney, Cory Ryan, Karey Croll and Levon Sackett!

Congratulations to Brian Croll for earning his 3rd stripe on his blue belt
& to Mike & Aaron Willig for both earning their 2nd stripes on their blue belts. Also congratulations to Emily Hatting for earning 2 stripes on her gold belt. 

And last but certainly not least...
a final surprise was given to our very own head instructor:
Mr. Jeff Robison earned his Purple Belt!

Thanks so much to Bruce and his assistant Amanda for an awesome seminar!!!! Thanks to all our students for working hard and keep up the good work!!!

Some of the best gifts come from the heart, and this gift really touched our hearts! Debbie Fink put together a Club MMA Stained glass window, which is one of the coolest and most original gifts we have ever received! It represents all the programs here at Club MMA and I am very proud to showcase in the front window. Not only do we have caring and supportive clients, but they are creatively talented too!!!! Thank you so much Debbie and Art Fink for all your support over the past year!

Club MMA visits the Elder Mom's Club!

Mr. Robison visited the Elder Mom Club for a workout and Self defense Seminar Wed. May 6. They spent a some time learning basic kickboxing moves and then learned some self-defense. It was a great workout and a good opportunity to be reminded of awareness and basics of saftey. Our goal is to teach self-defense but hope no one ever has to use it! Thanks a bunch to Club member Kathy Jones for setting up the event.
