The Savannah MMA Report

Testing went well last night. We had a great turnout for the test including six memebers of our gym testing for the next shirt level. These members showed determination and discipline by completing all grappling submissions within their time limit, as well as working through lots of hard takedowns, punching, kicking, and sparring drills.

The final rolling session was also a fun time with each student having to roll for a time limit with no breaks and fresh opponents.

Travis Shiflett and Sam Grosse finished their time of 20 minutes of continuous submission grappling with no breaks.

Shortly after, Jake and Jessica Tuttle finished out 25 minutes.

Followed by Demetrice Turner and Brian Lafond, each doing 30 minutes of submission grappling. The final 5 minutes for these two included intense Vale Tudo sparring with punches, kicks, takedowns, submissions and ground and pound. They both did a great job and look forward to picking up some new techniques next week in class.

If you weren’t able to attend our MMA testing, please try to come into the next test or just join our regularly scheduled Adult MMA classes at Savannah Martial Arts Academy. Once you are ready, you will experience a training session like you have never seen before.

Once again congratulations and thanks to everyone who showed up for the testing.

Hey everyone,

Just want everyone to know that there will be no class for Thanksgiving Day at Savannah Martial Arts Academy. Classes will be canceled until Monday, November 26th. Have a great day of thankfulness and rest up from the insane workout we had on Monday.

This past week featured a seminar with the American Cancer Society in which we were able to talk about proper self-defense mindsets and really work on boosting awareness for their employees as well as a great time to practice several techniques and get a good workout. We look forward to more special seminars and the chance to teach more people about self-defense tactics… If you know any women who are interested, please let them know about our Women’s Self Defense Class on Mondays and Thursdays from 6-7 pm. Remember though that classes aren’t just for women, we also have the men and women Mixed Martial Arts Class and the children’s martial arts classes for great self-defense techniques for children in Savannah.
