There Are No Words
There are sometimes that even I'm at a loss for words and this is one of them. My heart breaks for Jason Lapene and his entire family for the loss of his daughter, Natalia. I really don't know what to say except that when someone in the CMMA family feels a loss, we all lose. Lift up the entire Lapene family in your prayers as they deal with this tragic event.
Potential New Class, Anyone Interested?
If you're thinking of trying a MMA class to learn the fundamentals, Tom Loughmiller is going to experiment with a class this Saturday morning from 9am to 10am. This class will be focused on striking with a heavy emphasis on pad work. There will be no live sparring, just techniques and pads. If you're looking to refine your skills and enhance your cardio, this is the class for you. If there is enough ongoing interest, we will add this to the roster full time. I know I'm not giving you a real good notice on this, so if you can't make it this week but you're interested please let us know by calling the academy or posting on the forum. I'll make sure there is a sticky post there.
There is a workout craze that is sweeping through Creighton Mixed Martial Arts. Chris White was the original guy that started this regimen, but now Professor Paul and a few others have jumped on board. I haven't tried Tabata yet, but from all accounts it is a great workout. We have the equipment to do it at the academy, but I can't bring myself to try it yet. There is some difference of opinion in how to go about it, but if you're interested in learning more about what is keeping some of our guys in shape, go here, here, and here.
