MIXED MARTIAL ARTS TRAINING Submission Grappling Submission Grappling teaches our students how to defend ourselves in the event that we are taken to the ground in an altercation.

By combining these realistic and effective systems of the martial arts a student will be better able to defend themselves in any situation they may conceivably find themselves.

KICKBOXING Are you looking for a total body workout that totally kicks butt? How about a way to increase your stamina, flexibility, and strength while listening to your favorite dance mixes? If this sounds good to you, keep reading to find out what you need to know before you take the kickboxing challenge. What Is Kickboxing? Although the true roots of kickboxing date back to Asia 2,000 years ago, modern competitive kickboxing actually started in the 1970s, when American karate experts arranged competitions that allowed full-contact kicks and punches that had been banned in karate. Because of health and safety concerns, padding and protective clothing and safety rules were introduced into the sport over the years, which led to the various forms of competitive kickboxing practiced in the United States today. The forms differ in the techniques used and the amount of physical contact that is allowed between the competitors. Currently, one popular form of kickboxing is known as aerobic or cardiovascular (cardio) kickboxing, which combines elements of boxing, martial arts, and aerobics to provide overall physical conditioning and toning. Unlike other types of kickboxing, cardio kickboxing does not involve physical contact between competitors - it's a cardiovascular workout that's done because of its many benefits to the body.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY Let Go, Let God I let go of all concern and trust God for the perfect outcome. Awaiting the outcome of a situation can challenge my peace of mind, but only if I let it. I choose not to let it. Looking to God in prayer, I call upon my vital source of inner strength. I deepen my spiritual understanding and gain greater insight and patience. During my prayer time, I release any concerns and preconceived ideas about how the situation will unfold. I am ready for great results. My faith in God helps me replace any negative perception with a positive outlook. With renewed strength, I relax into a realization of God's presence and let events develop according to divine timing. Through greater strength and deeper faith, I trust God for the right resolution and the perfect outcome. "What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should be patient?"--Job 6:11 By Choice Corner Man Bill Storm
