Children who color their tiger picture and bring them back for display at the dojo will be entered in a raffle to win a Tiger Wall Scroll.  We can’t wait to see the creative minds at work.

Thank you to all our loyal students and parents who have made the Monday and Saturday kids’ classes so successful.  We are adding another beginner class to reduce the size of those two groups.  This will give each child more space to work in,  and allow for more individual attention from the instructors.

If your child is on the unlimited program, they will gain access to an extra class.  If your child is in the once a week/twice a week program, you may now choose Thursday as the day (or one of the days) that they attend.

Thank you again and we look forward to this up-coming Thursday

What: Mixed Martial Arts competition

When: Friday September 9th

Where: Red Lion Hotel (I-70 & Quebec)

=== Results ===

Jeremy Leonard (0-0) fought David Garcia (1-0).  It was a good fight with back and forth action until Jeremy slipped on a kick.  Upon hitting the ground Jeremy turned away and caught a big punch from behind as he tried to get up.  David jumped to top mount and the fight was stopped by the referee.

Doug Hoover vs. Tyrone Mason in a double debut match up.  Both fighters circled until the larger Tyrone came in and landed a good head shot around Doug’s guard.  The match went on with Doug showing good reaction under pressure and strong heart but, hurt by that punch, he was unable to get the upper hand back and Tyrone eventually ended the fight standing.

Nothing can replace the experience gained of actually getting in the cage, a step few people ever take.  Both fighters worked hard for their fight, put it on the line, did well and will be back better and stronger then ever.  We are all proud of you gentleman.
