Great training thus far this week. We've been having some excellent training sessions during the day as well for the fighters.

Kids!
The kids continue to do great during class. It's good to see their progress. We're working hard now towards our next kickboxing evaluation. Our kickboxing evaluation will be held the First Thursday in August! Please make every effort to attend class to prepare. We have already been working hard on our curriculum.
Here is the dates of testings this year:

First Thursday in August: Kickboxing
First Thursday in October: Kickboxing
First Thursday in December: BJJ

Keep up the good work kids! I know you will all be very sweet to David tomorrow. :)

Kickboxers
Kickboxers, remember we have added another basic kickboxing class to the schedule on Wednesdays at 6 at Revolution Benton. This allows us to have 2 days of basic training and 2 days of advanced training. It's great to see everyone getting their gear and joining in the advanced classes. We're having a lot of fun. Brad and Asa had their first sparring session this week and did a great job putting their new skills to the test. We appreciate the more experienced fighters working in a controlled setting and helping the new folks get up to speed and in a positive and safe fashion.
We are working on this model and adopting it for Hot Springs soon so hang tight.

We are really sad to hear that Asa is moving to Texas. He's been a great student and trained hard in his time here at Revolution. Good luck and have fun Asa and Chase!

Gear is going fast, so don't wait. Seriously. As a reminder you MUST have required equipment from REVOLUTION for classes. Nothing else is allowed due to safety. Please remember to bring your equipment with you, all of it including hand wraps, mouthpiece, etc. Do not burry it in your closet under a mountain of clothes! Fighters, make sure you continue to attend all classes, beginner and advanced to get in your required skill work and advance your skill set.

The LDMA Kickboxing camp is July 11 in Sherwood. Please make every effort to attend. This will be a great camp for competitors as well as recreational trainers. We'll cover game plans, strategies and all sorts of things related to striking. As always you will be paired according to experience and goals. Please see your coach if you wish to attend.

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu
We're training hard for upcoming events later this year. It's great seeing everyone work so hard in class and enjoying themselves while doing it! We have some success stories that I have been meaning to mention:
Josh has lost over 40 lbs, and Alan around 20. We have a few more that I'll post tomorrow! Congratulations on your hard work guys.

We have seminars and Evaluations on the following dates:
Saturday June 27 in Hot Springs
Sunday July 5 in Benton
Remember when you pre register you get the Nova Uniao Team Patch for your gi.

Please remember to pre order your back patch as well, as the deadline is approaching to receive your discount and free REVOLUTION patch with order.

With all this training I have a feeling the summer is going to fly by. Please make sure you make it in to your classes so that you hear the important announcements and do not miss out on anything.

The Clinch Gear order is in. Please see your class instructor to pick up your order.
We are placing another next week.
Atama should be in asap as well.

Again, keep up the good work everyone!
