Announcements and news from the Academy for all students

The Big Move, Policies, and Level 1 Test

02.28.11 By Patrick 7 Comments

Lots of news and updates for March! Please read carefully!

  • The Big Move across the street to the new school is on schedule for March 7! The new facility will have TWO training floors, lots of brand new equipment, and a parking lot! The new address will be 6 Riverside Street.
  • There will be a one-day sale on Saturday, March 5, from 12-3pm. Equipment not making the move will be for sale at a discounted price. Remaining stock of shirts, pants, etc. will be half price. The mats will be available at $50 per section. Contact Brian ASAP if you are interested.
  • The new school will have a brand new training floor! This means we will be strictly enforcing the policy of no street shoes. Please bring a pair of dedicated mat shoes to class in order to help keep the training area clean and safe.
  • Beginning March 7, all students are asked to wear either a Krav Maga Worldwide shirt, a plain white shirt, or a plain black shirt. Krav shirts are available for purchase at the school.
  • We will be conducting a Level 1 test on Friday, March 18, 7pm. Depending on the number of students, the test typically takes 2-3 hours with minimal breaks. If you have trained all of the Level 1 curriculum and would like to test, please let one of the instructors know or post a comment below. All students are welcome to watch the testing or participate alongside the students testing. Even if you’re not being graded, the test is an excellent review of the curriculum as well as an intense physical and mental challenge. Review the Level 1 Curriculum (printer friendly) and bring any questions to class so that we may help you best prepare for the test.

Burpee Challenge Check in–Week 3

02.22.11 By Danelle 1 Comment

231 burpees down, 175 to go. We’re in the last stretch of the challenge. I hope everyone is hanging in there.

I find that I can get up to about 14 or 15 before my legs feel like they are going to fall off. I have to do a brief pause, and then push forward to finish the day’s quota.

How are you doing?

Burpee Challenge Check in–Week 2

02.14.11 By Danelle 1 Comment

2 weeks down, 2 to go! If you are keeping up, you’ve completed 105 burpees (with 301 to go).

It’s probably getting difficult to string together the burpees at this point. Try not to break them up. I know your arms are getting sore and your thighs can’t imagine doing another squat jump. Try to push through the discomfort. Slow down if you need to. Learn to breathe–in on the push up, out on the jump. Don’t give up!

Happy Valentine’s Day!!
