It's been a great weekend. We had a great time at the Benton Fights October 24. Grant and Wes won their superfights. Brandon won his Muay Thai Fight. We were really glad to see Justin Wolff step up and fight Brandon. Brandon's the 2007 Amateur Muay Thai World Champion and at the 2009 Arnold Classic he picked up 3 titles: San Shou, Muay Thai and International Rules Kickboxing. His last 3 opponents have backed out of the fight the day of, but Justin from Prathet Muay Thai showed up to fight and both of those guys put on a great show. It' was a great main event and thanks to all fighters, sponsors and friends.
Keep up the good work everyone.



Revolution was proud to host Robson Moura 7 x World BJJ Champion in for a seminar. We had grapplers in attendance from over 8 gyms all over Arkansas and Louisiana along with the Benton Panthers Wresters for the Takedown series. He taught a great wrestling series along with some guard passes and he spent time grappling with every student.



Congrats to those who received rank:

Tony and Lewis from Hot Springs moved to 4th Degree White Belt. These guys have been training hard but have also served as fixtures and leaders in our Hot Springs Gym. We are proud of their progress.

In Benton,
Charlie moved on to a 3rd Degree White Belt.
Grant moved to 1st Degree Blue Belt
David Moved to 2nd Degree Blue Belt
Bobby was promoted to Blue Belt

Bobby stood out as the most dedicated student for his fight. He trained every day and lost 25 lbs for his fight. After being promoted to 4th Degree White Belt some time ago, Bobby has stepped up his training and prepared himself for blue belt. We are proud of him for showing dedication in his training and for showing an example for others to follow.

Congratulations to all on your hard work.





Robson is down with our furry friends.




Finally, I am most excited to announce that our new custom cage wall project has finally arrived. We should be installing it this week along with the new heavy bags and then we will further upgrade the kickboxing equipment to finish my "master plan".
Also some other equipment is coming for the Muay Thai and BJJ people, but I'm not telling!



Finally, Our kids classes are growing like crazy. I'd like to recognize all of you on your hard work. I've seen quite a few of you kids improve your grades, confidence and skill here lately as well as make progress in other areas. Keep up the good work as we work hard for this next testing.

See you in class.

It's been a great week everyone, and I've really enjoyed our training. I've ordered something special for the KB class and it should be here this upcoming week!!! Can't wait! When it gets in we'll probably need your help with installation!

We also have new T-shirts coming. They will be like the last charcoal grey full color shirts we had which were very popular. Also on the order will be track jackets in limited quantities so pre order yours today.

Fighters, keep up the good work and stay focused this week. It's also important to mention that we appreciate everyone who has come to class this week and helped the fighters. This is a team effort and training partners are very important in the success of the team. Thanks everyone.

Finally I'd like to recognize the following people who have lost considerable amounts of weight using their Revolution diets and training programs and also gotten in great shape:

Scott has lost 40
Bobby has lost 25 lbs
Austin has lost 20 lbs

Great job guys keep it up.

Stephen looked good sparring tonight and Scott said we had a great class in HS.
