You’ve heard the rumors of our moving, just not the when. We have been fortunate enough to be presented with an opportunity to purchase our own gym. After many months of reconstruction we can finally say we are ready to move. Almost. We anticipate moving over the weekend of May 2nd from our current location and reopening in our new facility May 6th^th. Just in time for Bootcamp! The last one before you put on that bathing suit! 5am Bootcamp starts May 6^th and 9am Bootcamp starts May 7, both at our new facility. Pre-register and put a deposit down to save your spot. Please keep an eye on either the white board or facebook for the most recent updates.

We’re excited to share our new space with you, our current students as we welcome new fitness enthusiasts as well. We have acquired the membership of another gym, and they will be joining our family. Into our Martial Arts program? Not exactly. For those who have not yet heard, we are separating our gym between a fully-operational weight-lifting gym with all the latest equipment, machines, free-weights and yes, SHOWERS!!!!! In addition we will maintain our Martial Arts program; Cardio-kickboxing, Tiny Tigers, all levels of taekwondo, Black Belt, Mixed Martial Arts, Silat, JiuJitsu and more. To note; the schedule of classes will change to accommodate our new space. This will be made available to you as soon as it is finalized.

QUESTIONS

· What does this mean to my membership? Absolutely nothing. When we close on the 2nd, we’ll see you when we reopen, at your new class time at our new facility.

· Is there an extra charge for using the gym equipment? Yes, unlimited usage of the gym equipment can be added to your regular membership for $10 month/per person.

· How old do you have to be to use the equipment? Anyone over the age of 14 can utilize the equipment, with a membership, after completing a scheduled orientation from a personal trainer. Anyone younger, or not approved is not allowed on the gym floor or equipment at any time.

· What are the hours of the gym itself? The gym is only closed for major holidays and open daily from 4am-9pm.

We are definitely turning to Spring, all the bulbs are to bloom. Oh yeah, and I almost hit the first squirrel I’ve seen this year. Teach him to be in my driveway. But on to what really happens in Spring. That of course is Spring Nationals and Black Belt Testing in April. So everyone, grab your calendar, phone, or method of choice for some key information.

Black Belt Pretest – March 9 – that’s next Saturday – show up dressed to run at 9am. The run will begin at 9:30. Do not forget your: gi/belt, all sparring gear including your chest protection, groin protection and mouthguard. Running times are as follows: 50 years and up/11 years and under – 1 mile/12 minutes & 2mile/24 mile for everyone else

Kids Sparring & Adult Sparring – Where did everyone go on Friday for sparring? Well come on back! At both the Kids Sparring @ 6:15 and Adults Sparring at 7pm, 3^rd Dan Jason Reeves is bringing his unique winning style with a combination of both technique and practical application.

Look Good Naked Bootcamp – It’s that time again to Look Good Naked! The next session s starts March 11 @5am and March 12 @ 9am (includes a kb class/wk). There is still plenty of room in the 9 am session but there were only 8 spots left last time I checked – but that was several days ago. Make your deposit at the desk to guarantee your spot! It will be bathing suit season before you know it! $300/full session

Kickboxing Tournament Circuit Starting Soon_- If you’ve heard the rumors then yes it’s true and it’s coming soon. To be clear; this is not the “front room” cardiokickboxing, so all else, you know who you are. We don’t have any other info, but we’ll keep you posted.

2013 Spring UWTA Blackbelt Testing and National Championships – The Bi-annual Black Belt testing and National Championship is finally here! Within the UWTA system, a student may test for their rank only two times a year, April being one of them. This is also half-way to the year-end (I know, how can we be talking about year-end?) National Championships. As such, it traditionally is a larger tournament due to; the amount of people testing, AND this a double-point tournament for all Black Belt competitors. Curious as to where you stand? Hunt down Mr. Reeves or Mrs. Wildman and they can help you calculate those points. But more about the tournament and testing after that Pre-test.

Go to Nationals in style. We will be placing an order for new uniforms; decal and embroider, The deadline for ordering is Friday March 8, 2012. Please see Mrs. Lovas or Mrs. Wildman for assistance. Remember all you Red/Black Belt s, without a black-collarred gi, you'll be out of dress code...you know what that would mean...pushups...

This was a busy week as we wrapped up the half-way point with the first Look Good Naked Bootcamps of the year. How did you do? In the words of Master Lovas, it's not just the exercise, it's the eating plan! Three more weeks to work, feel and see a difference! Of importance to note is that TWO weeks from yesterday, February 15 at 5:30 p.m. is our next scheduled Color Belt and Black Belt Interim testing. All Black Belt candidates intending to test with the UWTA National Black Belt Testing the weekend of April 19/20 need to be participate in this Interim testing. Pre-testing is next month, March 9. Please check with your current Instructors as to what materials you will be required to present. Additionally, please check your point totals to ensure you have enough points to test. If you have questions regarding calculations of points, Mrs. Wildman can help you with that. Lastly, if you missed Friday Night Fight Night you missed some exciting developments. But don’t worry, we’re here next Friday too. Kids, Teens and adults: BRING YOUR GEAR!!! You can’t spar without it and our next tournament, in April, is the next National event. (hint: double point for those who are counting!) April will be here before you know it! Have a great day and we’ll see you on the mats!
