All classes cancelled tonight!
The recommendations are to stay off the roads and they are predicting very icy conditions with the low temperatures, so all classes are cancelled tonight. So we will see everybody next week, when we are back from the Holiday break! If you can pass on the word to any other students you might have contact with that would be great.

KMA and FKB Classes Cancelled for Monday due to Snow!
It looks like the snow is going to keep on falling and they are predicting very icy conditions tonight with the low temperatures, so we are going to err on the side of safety and cancel the Fitness Kickboxing Class for tonight (Monday at 6pm). If you can pass on the word to any other students you might have contact with that would be great.

6 WEEK ABS/CORE ONLY CLASS
It is time to get ready for those holidays and challenge those ab muscles to go inwards, instead of outward :-) With this special abs/core only class, you will burn your mid-section for 30 non-stop minutes and be happy when it's all over. The 6 week session will start coming up on October 13th and only goes until November 20th (right before Thanksgiving), so jump into this class and get ready to be challenged!

KIDS MARTIAL ARTS CLASSFREE
We are launching this new program in September and are offering a free introductory class on Saturday, Sept. 11th from 2 - 3pm. In this class the instructor will take all of the kids through the intial basics of our program and the parents will get to see the outstanding benefits of this program. Once the child has participated in this introductory lesson they can then participate in our regular group classes FREE of charge for the rest of September!

To reserve a spot send us an e-mail at keven@mmaa.net or give us a call at (206) 547-2030. Space is limited to only 12 participants!

At the academy we have a number of talented students and a lot of great class leaders to help teach our classes. But as of 8/15/10, we have certified our first Fitness Kickboxing Instructor -- Christina Steepin. Christina has worked very hard on learning the program thoroughly and leading inspiring classes. She has done a great job and now has the ability to open her own facility in the future. So next time you see Christina, give her an extra high 5 for such a great accomplishment!

On August 21st, three of the martial arts students got to be involved in their first submission grappling tournament up in Arlington. The tournament had a smaller turn out (it's tough to pull Seattlites indoors on a sunny day) and was kind of a mixed bag. Our lone female competitor, Erin, didn't have any other women to compete against, so she'll have to wait for the next tournament. Sam, our lightweight beginner, got his feet wet by having 3 matches. His first match he was able to lock in a guillotine and get the tap out. His next match was a fierce battle with the eventual 2nd place winner, in which Sam got caught in a tight submission. And his final match was against a great wrestler that also caught Sam in a submission. And our final competitor, Jesse, got a chance to jump in the deep end of the pool. Because there were no other 155lb beginners, he was put into the intermediate/advanced division, where there was a lot of talent. Because Jesse likes a good challenged, he jumped right in there with them to get some experience on the mat and had 3 matches. He got caught in submissions by his competitors, but his attitude and fortitude were a great example of the spirit of the martial arts and giving 100%.
So great job everybody and we'll give it another go in the near future. Keep training hard!
