*** POP FRIENDLY ***
AMMA Ladies represented again at last weekend’s Princesses of Pain FRIENDLY public sparring event. This time, AMMA sent Cynthia Han, Kirslynne Curammeng, Irene Richards, and Ruiha Epiha to spar and roll with women from other gyms. The ladies looked great showing off what they’ve learned in training. It was a good chance to rid the nerves and see the holes in their game. Cynthia, Kirslynne, and Irene did fabulously in their kickboxing matches with great control and flow of kick combinations. Van was really excited to see these ladies step up and show off their stuff in public. Also, for the first time ever at a FRIENLDY event, Ruiha only did grappling, where she displayed excellent submission wrestling techniques. Unfortunately, Ruiha injured her left arm during a take down and had to cut her participation short after a few matches. All her teammates wish her a speedy recovery. Great job to Belinda Dunne of Princesses of Pain for organizing another well run event. Click here to see photos from the event.
*** XMAS BBQ & TOURNAMENT ***
This Saturday at 12 noon will be AMMA’s in-house grappling tournament and Christmas BBQ event. The tournament is open to all AMMA members and will be split into beginner and advanced divisions. Competitors will be divided by weight on the day of the event, where there will be brackets of people around the same weight. All members who are actively going to grappling classes and open mat are welcomed to compete. The tournament will start at 12 noon, so show up a few minutes before that for weigh ins. Immediately after the tournament will be a potluck barbeque where we will be firing up the BBQ grill that’s been hanging out in the kitchen waiting to be used. Everyone is welcomed to bring some raw meat to grill, prepared side dish, or drinks for the potluck. Please be advised that there may be some beer funneling activity.
