The commercial features a fast-paced montage of the offerings at Titan to include Mixed Martial Arts, Women’s Kickboxing, Thai Boxing, Submission Grappling, Boxing, Filipino Martial Arts, and Elite Training.
The commercial is superbly paced by the song “Let ‘Em Go” by local band, The Clover. Titan Fitness would like to express its gratitude to the band for the use of such a perfect song for the commercial. You can visit this talented band’s My Space page at http://www.myspace.com/69leafclover to get more information about the band, sample their great original music, and view a schedule of upcoming appearances.
Titan Fitness Mixed Martial Arts students Shawn Slater and Derek Janssen competed at the North American Grappling Association (NAGA) event in Newark, New Jersey last Saturday, April 4. As this was the first competition for both of them, they competed in the novice division. They both were victorious in their first two submission grappling matches advancing into the quarterfinals. Though their respective tournaments ended at that point, this was an excellent result for both of the the first-time submission grappling competitors. We at Titan Fitness congratulate both Shawn and Derek on their efforts at NAGA.
