The following is a list of changes that have been made to the Fall 2009 schedule.

1.  The youth martial arts classes will meet from 6 PM to 7 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays starting on Wednesday, September 9.

2.  An intermediate mixed martial arts class will meet on Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:00 and will serve as a preparatory class for the advanced mixed martial arts.  All students who have completed the beginners MMA and Thai boxing beginners class qualify for this section.

3.  Speaking of the advanced MMA class, it will move to the Monday and Wednesday 4:30 to 6 PM time slot to accommodate the new youth class schedule.

4.  There will not be a no-gi grappling program due to the fact that we are including the grappling into all sections of the mixed martial arts programs.

5.  Due to the exclusion of the no-gi grappling class, the vacated time slot is now being made available for sororities to have their own sections for women’s kickboxing.  Special rates will be available on a per student basis for the sorority women’s kickboxing.  Interested sororities should contact us as soon as possible as these slots are limited.

6.  The Filipino martial arts class will be moved to 5 PM to 6:30 PM.

The present women’s kickboxing and boxing sections will remain the same for the fall semester.
