Awesome job to all who competed!

BJJ Seminar - 2.22

with Black Belt Brian Johnson

Learning some Judo just got us warmed up, because World Champ and BJJ Black Belt, Brian Johnson flew in town all the way from Seattle for a seminar and evaluations. We spent all day on Sunday going over Switch base side control. It was a great amount of knowledge and totally worth it!

Before the seminar we had a Club MMA student, Ryan "Buster" Maness test for his Blue Belt. It was an awesome display of skill and hard work. Brian was very impressed with Busters skill level and awarded him his Blue Belt. I was a great weekend for everyone! We are more motivated now then ever!!!!

Thanks to everyone that came out for the seminar and special thanks to Brian!

Judo Seminar - Feb. 19

We kicked off an awesome weekend at Club MMA Thursday night with a two hour Judo Seminar taught by my childhood Judo Instructor Glen Theiman. We spent the majority of our time learning the throws and set ups, but it was great chance for all the students to get some different training. Thanks you so much Glen for your time and experience!!! We hope to have Glen back very soon.

Valentine's Extravaganza - 2.14.09

It was quite the extravaganza!!

The kids piled in on valentine's day giving mom and dad a chance to hang out by themselves for a few hours. We had so much fun with games, making valentines, making jewelry, bingo and even a Valentine Hunt. The kids figured out the clues, crafted awesome gifts, jumped over those pads and dodged the ball....loving every minute of it!

We were lucky to get to spend the evening with our favorite valentine's!
