National Bando Kickboxing Tournament

Club MMA traveled to Columbus, Ohio to compete in 38th annual National Bando Kickboxing Tournament. It was along day of bouts, but we ended up with 2 of 7 fighters in finals. Eric Silz took silver medal with loss by split decision in very competitive 3 round match. Aaron Willig took Gold medal with win by unanimous decision. We must say all the Club MMA fighters competed at the highest level possible, they all left with great attitudes and good sportsmanship. It was a great weekend, and we are looking forward to it next year!


Congrats again Aaron on your victory, your hard work and dedication inspired us all!

NAGA Tournament 9-19-09

Club MMA spent the day on in New Castle, Indiana on Saturday, Sept 19, 2009.
We had a great turnout, all the students that competed did a great job! They spent a lot of extra time on the mat preparing for the event and it paid off for them.
Adults Levon Sackett, Paul Sullivan, Kevin Holland, Andy Holland, Dave "Heavy D" Wagel and Josh Stewart represented well bringing home lots of medals!


However, she made us all proud again when 12 yr. old Emily Hatting competed with the 15 to 19 year olds and won all first places!

Thank everyone that competed in the tournament, we are very proud of you guys. We also want to thank everyone that put the extra time to help the competitors get ready for the event and hanging out taking pictures and video. We are very lucky to have a great group of students, parents and supporters of Club MMA and you guys are the reason we do what we do. Thanks!!!

Black Belt Exam

On September 11, 2009, Club MMA promoted our first Black belts in Tae Kwon Do! It was a grueling 2-hour test of determination, strong will and talent! Brian Croll, Matt Herrmann, and Wesley Stafford completed all the requirements plus more. The exam was a great demonstration of their skills, technique and dedication. Not only did they have to demonstrate the traditional techniques of Tae Kwon Do including forms, basic motions, board breaking and sparring; they also had to demonstrate self-defense skills and grapple 9 rounds after they completed their Tae Kwon Do sparring!



We would like to personally thank Brian, Matt, and Wes for all their hard work, also thanks to all the families, friends and students that came out and supported the guys.

Congratulations Mr. Croll, Mr. Herrmann and Mr. Stafford!
