Advantage Martial Arts

Advantage Families,

With the success of the last board breaking class and the major improvements we saw in students’ technique and confidence, we’re having another one Saturday August 8th from 11:45 AM – 1:15 PM. It’s happening just in time because belt testing is right around the corner!
The class gives students the opportunity to practice their belt testing board breaks, along with a few extra fun breaks of their choice. We also take videos of at least one of their board breaks to send and show to you all.
You can sign up on Gymdesk — it costs $45 and is open to ages 6 and up.

🥋 Sparring Week! 🥋

Don’t forget to bring your sparring gear to class this week if you have your own set!

We’ve recently had quite a few higher-ranking students borrowing gear, and we’ve been running out of our extra sets. When that happens, some students have to work on the bags instead of sparring with partners.

As a reminder, yellow belts and above are eligible to purchase their own sparring gear. This week, all sparring gear is 15% OFF!

We will continue to have gear available for our white belts to borrow.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out. We look forward to seeing everyone in class!

Advantage Families,

Time is flying by, and we are already more than halfway through the semester!

Since everyone has been doing such a great job, we are celebrating with a Bring a Friend Day this Saturday.

Students are welcome and encouraged to bring friends or siblings for free. We will also be adding some extra games to class, which are always even more fun with friends.

This is a one-day celebration/event. Our Bring a Friend Week after belt testing will still be a full week.

As a reminder, if a friend signs up, you can receive 15% off tuition, or 20% off for a sibling sign-up.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

Hey Advantage families,

Just a reminder that we are closed today, so there will be no classes.

We hope you all enjoy the holiday and the day off with your families. Have a happy July 4th, and thank you to all those who have or currently serve and protect our country.

Hey Advantage Families,

We have another Leadership Class coming up at the end of the month for our Elite Kid advanced belts!
📅 Saturday, May 30th
⏰ 11:45 am – 1:15 pm
💵 $25

This class is a great opportunity for students looking to continue building their leadership skills and for anyone interested in becoming an instructor in the future. Since this class is specifically for Elite Kid advanced belts, we will be able to go more in depth and move at a quicker pace than usual.
We will be covering topics such as:
• Creating lesson plans for different age groups
• Leading drills and classes effectively
• Giving praise and constructive feedback
• Staying proactive and professional on the mat

Leadership training classes are an important part of developing strong and confident leaders. For students interested in becoming instructors one day, attending at least 3 leadership classes is required. Even for students not planning to instruct, I highly recommend these classes since leadership is also part of belt testing requirements at the higher ranks.
If you have any questions feel free to reach out!
