Let’s make this a fantastic summer test!
Training is fun! We prove that every day with our spectacular classes. Children, teen and adults! So many great people on the mats this summer! Keep up the fantastic work!
Monday! Nice to see some rainfall, even if it is only for a short time. Next week will be testing for children and teens. I will send testing information home starting today. Keep working hard. Summer tests are usually spectacular! We also have a summer break coming in Aug., more on that later.
Adults are doing fabulous also! More work on foot sweeps, building combinations and taking the mount position. Staying busy and having fun!
Hot day! Air-conditioning is on and we will be training! Reminder to drink little bit of water through out the day, not all at once! Also, kids training please avoid fruit juices like orange juice if you are coming to train. The acidic acid combined with heat and activity can make for an upset stomach! Loving the sunshine!
Monday! Only a couple more weeks of July left to go. Hope summer isn’t passing you by too fast. Children and teens are about 3-weeks out from testing, so time to sharpen up those skills! Adults have been rocking the summer, and it’s great to see so many consistently hitting the mats! Great job everyone, keep that momentum going!
Wednesday! What a great week! Classes have been bursting with people and training is going fabulously! Keep up the great summer work!
Now for something a little different! If you like Mission Impossible, the new movie opened this last weekend. Our friends from New York Combat SAMBO / Breakfall Studios, did a segment on stunt work for CBS Morning News. While New York Combat SAMBO is a martial arts sport like our adult classes here at Lion’s Way, the work they do at Breakfall Studios, is a stuntman training ground. They have done work on numerous TV shows and movie like John Wick. Take a moment to check out their segment at this Facebook link and help us congratulate our friends!
