SUMMER HOLDS AND SUSPENSIONS

THE RETURN OF KICKBOXING & 6 WEEK FITNESS CHALLENGE
For those who were wondering, there has been some talk about us revamping and relaunching our kickboxing classes. With our new advertising partners, we are getting ready to launch our kickboxing class ad in conjunction with a 6-week fitness challenge. We love teaching martial arts, but we understand that sometimes adults don’t have the time to commit to learning a full martial arts curriculum, however they desire the absolute best workout and weight loss routine (which our studio proudly is known for) to get themselves ready for summer. The morning and early afternoon kickboxing classes are in effect as of this week once we begin to fill the classes. Our ads for both membership options should hit social media in the next week or so… if you want to get in on the action BEFORE the classes fill up (which our ad reps tell us they will). Shoot me an email ASAP and we can save your spot. By the way, this program is for ADULTS ONLY.

RMAI VIP CLUB
A giant thank you to the few lucky people who were able to take advantage of this special training opportunity. To those who missed out, I apologize. There will be other special training courses in the future, separate from this one. We wanted to keep this group small to best serve them. For those who signed up. Thank you again. Check your email for an updated list of dates on which the VIP CLUB will be meeting. First two meetups are this Wednesday 6/18 at 3:45pm and Saturday 6/21 at 1:00pm.
BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU
For those who have been asking. We do offer a separate Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu program as a $50 add-on to your regular membership. It’s important to have a well-rounded skillset, learning how to grapple and fight on the ground in addition to the kicking and punching we do in karate is vital to being a complete martial artist. Our new instructor Evani Chavez is a BJJ Black Belt and extremely knowledgeable and a talented instructor. Price to get started is $99 (which includes the Jiu-jitsu Gi and the tuition). Add-on price means you can cancel any time. 12 years or older ONLY unless you get special permission from Master Celona Classes are Friday nights at 5:00pm
