On Saturday, July 29, IMPACT Jiu-Jitsu / SBG held an MMA training session with our sister gym from Berkeley, CA - Modern Combatives. Seven athletes and half a dozens supporters came up from the bay area to participate in the event with over 15 IMPACT athletes and an audience of over 50 folks. We had over 12 friendship matches — mostly MMA, but a few kickboxing and submission grappling matches as well.

It was a BLAST and everyone did a GREAT job! ! ! The day was full of lots of great technique and sportsmanship.

HUGE THANKS to the Berkeley crew for coming up and being a part of it - particularly the coaches Allan, Lily, and Corey (We missed you Jude!). Also, HUGE congrats to the graduates of the ATP — we had over 14 athletes complete their intensive MMA training … all of their games showed BIG improvements!

Afterwards, we spend the time sharing stories and good times at the Summer BBQ - lots of great food and laughter was had. Can’t wait until next time!

2. Lost and Found - Come get it or it’s going to Goodwill

We have over six (6) big bags of clothing and gear that have accumulated in the gym over the past few months … if you have lost / left something at the gym and want it back, see Office Manager Sarah as soon as possible. We are going to take the bags to Goodwill on August 15th … so hurry!
