RMAI NEWS UPDATE

Hello everyone,

I hope you all had a great weekend. Nothing new to report regarding events, and special class times.

I wanted to remind everyone that we are on the new schedule (as implemented in December). Be sure to bring your child to class ON TIME! If you’re going to be late, please let us know… Habitual lateness is disrespect in a martial art school. Giving out pushups or burpees for being late is not something we enjoy doing. Students who arrive 15 minutes late or more, will not be given credit for class.

If you’re unsure as to what class to attend, or have trouble making the specified times, please see Master Celona

Also, remember to bring all gear and equipment to every class. If students in the Young Gladiator and Warrior Training classes ranked Orange and Above are in need of sparring gear or training equipment, please see a staff member.

STRIPE CHECK.

RMAI NEWS UPDATE

BLACK BELT GRADUATION

RMAI NEWS UPDATE

Hello Everyone!

Today is the last day of classes for 2024. I can’t believe we are here already! The year has flown by. I want to wish everyone a happy and memorable Christmas/Holiday/New Year’s/Winter Break. I’m very excited for 2025. I hope I’m not alone in my overall feeling of optimism and eagerness to get started working on new goals for the coming year. I have a variety of new things that hopefully I will get to share with you, beginning in January.

Remember, show up tonight for classes. Let’s end 2024 with some good training!

SPECIAL SCHEDULE to be ADOPTED FULL TIME IN 2025!

Last week we experimented with a new format and class schedule. The overall feeling was that people were happy with the times and the split of the class groups. Being that the new format was successful, we’d like to make this schedule change permanent for 2025. From a learning perspective, it proved effective in giving students greater attention, and from a teacher's perspective, it was easier to organize and keep the students on task. We still are evaluating a few students with the idea of inviting them into the next class up, so stay tuned. If you have any questions, please see Master Celona.

RMAI NEWS UPDATE

Hello Everyone!

A few quick reminders… mark it down!

GUP TESTING:

For the Students who are testing this week, once the results are released. Students will be promoted to their new ranks in class, beginning on Wednesday and Thursday. There will be no separate Friday graduation.

REMINDER - SPECIAL SCHEDULE ALERT!!

Due to the class size of our Young Gladiators program, we feel it’s increasingly difficult to properly give students the attention they need. In addition, many of the students in our Little Champions program is on the cusp of transitioning to the standard RMAI curriculum and might be better served in something more akin to our standard Young Gladiator program…. AND with the pending promotion of a few students to Brown and Red ranks… the need to break up the classes into smaller units is greatly needed. For the week leading up to Christmas and our Winter Break, December 16th through the 23rd we are having a special schedule in an effort to better serve the student body. If all goes well, we will make these changes permanent for 2025.

PLEASE, any questions or concerns with availability, or if you’re not sure where your child is supposed to attend, email me, or send me a direct message.

RMAI NEWS UPDATE

We are specifically talking, hoodies, sweatshirts, jeans, hats etc. We would recommend ladies if they do wear a dress that they MUST have some type of leggings or shorts underneath. Also, students can bring their bookbag or backpack they bring to school… don’t wear anything expensive or things you’d be upset if it got a little beat up, and for backpacks, don’t put any school related electronics you don’t want broken.

I'm very proud of everyone and their effort, and I hope it was a great learning experience for all. I also wanted to publicly thank our staff and black belts who dedicated their time, and their entire Saturday to ensure that the event went off without a hitch, we couldn't have done it without you. Also congratulations to our Demo Team on their performance at the event. It was very entertaining, and enjoyed by all of the masters who had a front row seat.

and now... the news

TONIGHT!!

GUEST INSTRUCTOR VISIT:

After Master George Celona's visit to our studio last month, and Master Michael Celona's visit to Impact Martial Arts last Saturday... we are hosting Master Angel Celona tonight (April 16th). Please be sure to attend and make her feel welcome. We had a great time at the previous two events... This visit, I'm sure will be great.

TOMORROW: Pilsung Tournament Photo op!

If you competed in last weekend's tournament, be at the studio by 6:15 and BRING YOUR MEDALS AND TROPHIES, we want to take a photo with everyone involved with all of their awards. Even if this year wasn't your year to win anything, you're still part of the team, and we want you in the photo. Picture will be taken during the open mat time 6:15-6:30pm

Hello,

This is the update for this week... take note:

Tonight's practice in all classes are tournament style. Many of you have your names on our tournament sign up sheet. Which by the way... those who have not turned in their applications, and paid... need to do so right away. Early registration discount ends on April 1st. Come in tonight, and get your work in. We know the other Pilsung Studios are preparing... you should as well.

3/23/24 (SATURDAY) No classes.

SCHEDULED TOURNAMENT PRACTICES:

While we have been devoting a few minutes throughout the last few weeks to tournament practice, we have not set aside specific days to devote fully to preparation for the tournament. The following days and times are specifically set for tournament practice... as the event gets closer, we will likely add more:

Thursday March 21st - All Classes

Monday March 25th - All Classes

PILSUNG MARTIAL ARTS ASSOCIATION CHAMPIONSHIPS

Saturday April 13th at Strath Haven High School

All students of all ages and ranks are encouraged to attend. Price is $50 and includes all events. We will be holding dedicated practices for the students to prepare. Any questions, see a staff member or Master Celona

Good Morning,

Here's the news update for the things coming up this week...

NO BOHK: For this whole week (March 11th through the 16th) we will be training in the format of "No-BOHK" meaning training in regular clothing or athletic shorts and t-shirt. No martial arts belts will be worn with your regular clothes. Just show up in what you wear everyday if you choose.

BEGINNER'S BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU:

Students who are interested in the BJJ class, are permitted to try it out. The trial program is the same as the Karate program (4 weeks for $49.99). The only difference is that you have to purchase a BJJ Gi (uniform) as your Pilsung Dobohk will rip.

This program is NOT open to Little Champions, and Young Gladiator students need special permission by Master Celona if he determines you'd be good for the class.

Anyone in the 6:30pm class should be able to participate.

GUEST INSTRUCTOR VISITS:

Some of you may or may not know that Master Celona's cousin George and his wife Angel are Master Instructors and own Impact Martial Arts in Perryville, Maryland. For many years Master Celona and his cousin trained together at Shin Karate in Philadelphia when they were children. After all this time, we've finally set some days aside where we get to train with each others students. On March 30th, Master Celona will be visiting Impact Martial Arts to do some training. In addition, each of the 'other two Master Celona's will visit RMAI for training.

Good Morning and Happy Monday!

Here's the news...

A reminder that tonight is Gup testing for those who are eligible as per our last email. Testing group is not large enough to cancel classes tonight, so we will still be holding class according to our regular schedule.

Hello everyone,

MLK DAY -Holiday Camp CANCELLED

Important!! Tomorrow's,(1/15/24) MLK DAY Holiday Camp has been CANCELLED. We apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused, but we will not be having the day camp tomorrow. There will be an open mat training from 12:00-2:00pm however for those who may want some extra practice time, and we WILL be open for regular classes, and testing tomorrow.

The Following information is re-broadcasted from the last email.

1/15/24 GUP TESTING

On Monday 1/15 we will be holding our GUP testing. In the last two years we've experimented with different formats regarding testing. We want to announce that in 2024 we will be returning to our ORIGINAL format, which is: MONDAY belt exams will be given, and FRIDAY passing students will be promoted. The week long testing format in classes, did not produce the intended results. Students who wish to move up in rank, should make arrangements to be at the studio ON TIME on the day of the test to be considered for advancement. The loose format we adopted over the last few years actually was detrimental to the advancement of the students, the original format was considerably better.

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a great first week of 2024. I wanted to make a few announcements and reminders for everyone. Be sure to mark in your calendars all of the upcoming dates to be sure you don't miss anything... here we go:

1/13/24 RED BELT TESTING 1:00pm

Price is $50 and will be a great day to get some good training in. In addition to having a regular training class. Students who are eligible for Monday's promotional exam will be tested in the morning (to avoid having to come back in the evening for testing). This event is not for Little Champions, only Gladiator and Warrior programs. Format for the day will be similar to a school day with different subjects covered each hour. If you are someone who needs extra help in a particular area, this day will benefit you greatly. Tentative format is as follows:

RMAI NEWS UPDATE: 11/27/23

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone had a great and enjoyable Thanksgiving Holiday. Hopefully you all had the time to spend with your family. I am reminded every year of what is truly important and I am thankful for everything that I have and that which I've been blessed with. My wife Lisa, and son Max are forever grateful for having you all as a community and extended martial arts family. We wouldn't exist as a studio without you.

I would also like to mention how grateful I am for the RMAI Staff and my Black Belts which held down the fort, and ran all of the classes during the shortened week. For Kevin Dolan, The Shoreys, The Kurchans and Maddie Clark, I want to thank you all again for a great job. I hope everyone is aware of everything they do for the studio, and the ways they all contribute behind the scenes.

and without further ado... the news.

GUP TESTING:

Beginning the week before Thanksgiving and ending this week, some students have already received their new ranks, the following people are eligible for promotion this week if they meet all of the requirements:

If we have a lot of kids who are 10 and older, we will split into two groups and they will have their nerf battle in shifts to try and limit the possibility of bigger/more aggressive older kids hurting or upsetting younger children.

April 14-16 2023

(only open to Warrior Training members)

Joint seminar with both instructors sharing drills and exercises which will enhance and allow you to explore the deeper meanings to traditional martial arts techniques, by breaking down, extracting, and analyzing. Incorporating the techniques in a modern approach drawing from biomechanical principles and skills derived from combat sports. Whether you study a traditional martial art and have years of experience, or whether you're just starting out and want to gain additional value from what you're training. Or even if you study a modern martial art and are looking for an interesting take on the things you might be doing for the benefit of self-protection. We welcome anyone with an open mind, willing to train together with our martial arts brothers and sisters to further each others knowledge, skills and understanding.

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 classes 12/24 - 1/1/23. That leads me to my next topic...

12/23 Special Winter training for end of 2022
