Travel and List of Canceled Classes:
Has you may have heard, both Coach Jeannie and Coach Erin are in Thailand right now and will be out there for the next couple of weeks participating in the 2023 IFMA Muay Thai World Championships.
I will be leaving this Thursday to join them ad hopefully catch some of their fights and support the rest of Team USA as they scale the ranks of the tournament. In the mean time, the other half of the coaching team as well as some senior members will be running classes, which means some of our offerings will be limited since we will be a bit short staffed.
Here is a list of canceled classes for the next few weeks:

Re: Andrews Debut
If ya didn’t hear, Andrew won his bout with a unanimous decision.
It was a very good, very handsome performance.
Very clean technique.
Good job Drew!👍
I know it was last minute fight so thank you to everyone who stepped up to help, some of you helping out even though you have had your own fight camps to train for.
Thank you to all members that came out and supported.
Thank you to Coach Jeannie for corner support.
Re: Phoenix USMTO Tournament
With 4 athletes on deck, 7 bouts in 3 days , we ended up going 4-3!
All very hard fought loses and lessons learned.
And Gregg taking 1st place in his division.
3 fights over the weekend with 2 TKO’s on his way to victory.
It was a joy to spend all that time with all of you.
It was even a better experience to see their growth of Gregg as a person and athlete.
Such a major improvement overall in all areas and am proud of you and all your efforts.
Great showing overall by everyone.
Congrats team!
Thank you to everyone that helped before, during and while we were out there.
Appreciate everyone’s support back home as we competed over the weekend!
