BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU

We would like to welcome Mr. Don Worrell as an instructor for our Friday Night Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class. Mr. Worrell is not only a BJJ Black Belt, with over a decade of experience, but is also a 3rd Dan Tang Soo Do black belt and former student under the late Master Louis Marvil. Mr Worrell is an excellent instructor and an all around great person. TEAM RMAI welcomes him.

For those who may or not be aware, we have a Beginner BJJ program for those 12 and older, this class is currently on Fridays at 5:00pm.

If the program grows, we may expand to other days and times. Students who are already training in our martial arts programs can add this membership for only $50 per month. This is a great opportunity to expand you martial arts knowledge to include grappling and ground fighting to be a more complete martial artist.

With the end of another year and the start of a new one often comes the perpetual haste to begin

a slew of New Year’s resolutions. This might be something like, ‘I’m going to give up sugar’,

‘go running every day’, ‘spend less time on my phone’, or ‘ put 20% of every paycheck in my

saving’s account.’

As with most people, we keep to these empty promises for the first week or so before finding

some excuse as to why we've given up on the goals that we so eagerly set for ourselves.

Sometimes this is due to starting off with too big of a task right off the bat. Someone who wants

to quit smoking, for example, might best find success through a gradual weaning process rather

than giving it up cold turkey. Other times, a lack of personal motivation is the culprit for our

failed resolutions.

Motivation works as our internal drive or reasoning for why we act in a certain way. Someone

who wants to save money for a new car might be motivated to work more hours. The end goal of

getting a new car thus influences...

RMAI NEWS UPDATE

Happy Monday everyone!

Congrats to everyone promoted in last week's testing cycle!

First thing I'd like to mention is my sincere thanks and gratitude to everyone who participated in the Flyers Demo this Saturday. I had a great time preparing and planning with all of you. The first few weeks we were kind of bouncing around different ideas, but in the last month it really came together and all of you worked so hard. Your professionalism and adaptability is a testament to the passion for martial arts you all possess. The hockey team on the other hand sadly didn't win, and I feel bad that I had to leave early as Max was not feeling well. But I wanted to make sure I said a few words of thanks to you. You did a great job, PILSUNG!

This week is the last training week of 2022! Next week we have our annual Winter Break. I may be here occasionally throughout next week to take care of some maintainance and office work. If that happens I will let people know if there is OPEN MAT time available. Other than that, we will be closed for regular...

Hello!

Just a few items to go over about this week. Before I do that, I wanted to congratulate those who tested for their new Black Belt Ranks this past Saturday. Noah Mason, John Schuld, & Todd Liebel all represented RMAI well with their efforts in a challenging 3 hour exam. Grandmaster Kwon, as well as the other local association Masters witnessed their intensity and martial arts skills. We expect to release the results of the exam within the next few days. Again, congratulations to those people, we are all very proud.

FRIDAY SCHEDULE:

5:30 to 6:30pm BLACK BELT ONLY CLASS - Due to the preparations in the Flyers Demo, we haven't had a Black Belt Only class in a few weeks. This Friday from 5:30 to 6:30 we will review Black Belt forms and Weapons.

6:30 - 8:00pm DEMO PRACTICE

We only have a few remaining practice dates before the Flyers Demo, We highly recommend everyone attend as many as they can so that we can feel confident going into the demo on the 17th. We've added an additional Saturday (12/10)
