Cross Training Workshop

This workshop is like our JKD intermediate sparring class. Therefore, appropriate gear is required to participate.  You will need to have boxing gloves, shin guards, and a mouth piece.  A cup is optional but highly recommended. 

Unlike the intermediate JKD class there is no belt requirement to participate.  This will be a training/coaching session for all of our Cross Training Members. 

If you are not a member of our Cross Training Program and would like to attend this workshop, please talk to someone at the front desk.

Another great month at the school. The Pedro Sauer Seminar went off well and the attendance was strong for the event.  Mike Israel tested for his well deserved black belt in Jiu-Jitsu under Master Sauer and performed very well. Chris and I traveled to Benidorm Spain for the Keysi Fighting Method World Conference and we stayed 3-4 days after to hang out and train with the Founders of the art. It was a good experience for us as well as an opportunity to improve the program at the school. The AMAC ITC team has a new member, David Mitchell was invited to join the team last month and accepted.

Iris and I also attended the EFC summit in Miami, Florida at the first of the month.  This event was an opportunity for us to improve the operations of the school and improve the overall service for the students.  I have also been working with Mike Clark, a student at the school, on designing new T-shirts for 2010. Mike designed the sign and graphics for the school this year. 

We have also added a second Intermediate Jeet Kune Do Class on Thursday nights. This class has only been on Tuesday night for a while now and has been very popular, so we expanded it to the second night.  I am also working on a future advanced class for the Jiu-Jitsu program that will be for Blue belt students and up.
 

As always, thank you for your support of the school
