If you do not have a BANG shirt, Gi or Lidstone gloves, no worries - we’ll bring extras to share for the photos!

We can feel it in the air….

Talk to Sensei Travis if you want in on the action

New class schedule for August 4 - November 4!!

You might notice that pre-martial arts has been removed… this is only due to the intense schedule that we have coming up with competitions, training camps, training trips, etc.
we fully intend on bringing it back in the near future! If you’d like to be on the waiting list for that class message the page as they tend to fill up super quickly when they open!

Members - pay attention for added camp classes. They will also be posted on the gym doors upon entrance.

Let’s gear up for the best session yet!!!! Spaces still remain for all classes but some are close to maxing out so if you’re wanting in message sooner than later 📣🧨

Last but most certainly not least, Hunter came crashing into the grey belt division like it was owed to her long before she achieved it with a perfect performance - finishing matches by submission and an over 20 point gap and never had a single point scored on her.
She mixed the aggression she’s always had with some serious skill building she’s grown into the last little while and claimed the top of the podium twice!

Thank you to green valley stock farm for sponsoring Hunny on her way to double gold

Ivan is one of the newest and funnest members and his matches went just about the same way!
There was people in the crowd stressing, cheering, hiding their faces and checking the clock constantly while more and more people joined the crowd around the mats to watch.
Never backing down for a second and giving his opponents 100% energy and 100% heart the entire time he was able to collect two silvers for his work!

Thank you so much to Ives Tree Care for sponsoring Ivan

Archer was one of the athletes the coaching staff was most excited to see hit the mats for the first time as he’s an incredibly gifted athlete with energy for days. Safe to say with a perfect first performance - having submission wins and walkover wins that led him to double golds!! - they weren’t mistaken.
Archer was a force and with only a very short time training under him the staff is just as excited for his next tournaments and seeing what growth he can achieve in the room in the meantime.

Thank you to Brandson Farms for sponsoring Archer.

Casey has been with our club for a long time and has competed often - always up for a challenge and with a willingness to take chances.
Those chances paid off this time in a large division with Casey having many strong moments - especially in takedowns!
We’re so proud of the work Casey’s put in and his growth every time he makes the walk.

Thank you to an anonymous source for sending Casey on his way.
