Mortal Kombat in 2011   
You asked, so you will receive. We got some GREAT feedback from our trial run in Mortal Kombat!! Thank you Charlie!! The class will continue in 2011. It will run on Wednesdays at 6:30 pm & Saturdays at 9am. We will be charging $15/mo for the class.  You can go to either class or both. Just need to RSVP
This is a great opportunity for you to learn some basics about self-defense & striking from a great, very experienced coach.  If you have any questions, please email us.  Class Starts 1/25/2011
 Do You Need Coaching?!  
Ask for Coaching. "Remember: Leave Your Eqo at the Door?" This saying could mean a lot of things – in regards to competition, how you interact with other, etc. But today, it is in reference to GETTING COACHED. The past couple of weeks, we have held Skill Sessions for  the entire class, rather than just Athletes. We received very positive feedback – which got us to thinking…we offer it every class but hardly anyone takes us up on coaching.

Even the 3rd place finishers at the Games, Chris Spealler, has said that they only way he gets better is to work on his skills and get coached. Think of it as an outside view.

In order to take you fitness to the next level – whatever that level may be – competition, more weight, or faster times – practicing will definitely help you get there. If you constantly struggle with a certain lifts, come to the skill session next time, ask a coach to look at you before the WOD starts to help with an assessment. We are here to HELP. Enjoy this because this luxury is not available at all boxes. It does not matter if you have been here 1month or 12months – everyone can get better!
