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.
