This week seems to have gone by really fast. Probably due to the trip last weekend and all the training this week.
Things are really busy on the REVOLUTION front, we continue to expand and welcome new members to the programs.

This was our first official week for the new Kickboxing expansion in Benton. We sure did have a lot of people make it in Wednesday for the beginner class. We also now have 2 days of advanced classes. I really think this is helping the advanced guys get more personal attention and learn at a faster rate. Sparring looked great today also. We really have a good group for sparring, each person having their own attributes to bring to the table and allowing for a variety of training partners and styles to help increase skill sets. We've added in more ab work and it seems to be a lot of fun! It looks like we'll be ordering more gear next week since the last shipment is all but gone.

The all day Kickboxing Camp at LDMA is July 11. The cost is $50 and it lasts all day. We'll have a party afterwards also. Don't miss out on this fun. We have several fighters and teammates from REVOLUTION attending.

We're training hard in BJJ for the next tournament. Bobby's really been helping keep everyone motivated. Thanks Bobby.
Don't forget the contest we are having! So far Stephen and Bobby are ahead. We had fundamental BJJ tonight and the Blue Belt and up class tonight. The beginners worked fundamental sweeps while the advanced guys worked some advanced sweeps from the 93 Guard and polished their Butterfly Guard Game. We have students of all sizes and skill levels in training from white all the way to black. Keep pushing your training partners so that the whole team gets better!
David and Grant were kind enough to come down and train with our guest in Hot Springs last night, thanks guys!

We have a BJJ evaluation in Hot Springs this Saturday. Come join the fun.

Remember Friday is the deadline to pre order your patch. A list of places to have them sewn on is available at the gyms.
Patches will be here in about 2 weeks.

We have a limited run of new t-shirts coming in next Thursday. They are on sale now.

Kids are working hard towards the next testing. We had a kicking and punching contest today and we worked on spin kicks. I was really impressed with everyone's spin side kick.

Last but not least, good luck to Robson, Gustavo and Shaolin on their fights in Japan and congrats to Demente on his performance at the Mundials (I'm sure you'll be hearing more of him).
