Pick up a copy of SPORTS JUNKIES magazine and read the article on "MMA in North Carolina"

Things are going great this week. Students in TaeKwonDo and Kickboxing are picking up new material quickly. It's great to see people evolve in their training. As always, our schedule stays packed with events outside the regular classes.

Talked with Bill "Superfoot" Wallace this week and found out his training camp is now going to be in Mobile, Al. instead of Clearwater, Fl. This camp takes place the first weekend in June. Anyone interested should see me for details. Remember this camp is only for Superfoot affiliates; LDMA is the only school in the area who is affiliated with Mr. Wallace. I still find it funny that some other area schools claim to be associated with him when they did one seminar at our school.

Also, Mr. Joe Lewis annual training conference may be moved to the last weekend in September (not first weekend in October as originnaly planned). This conference has some of the best Kickbox and MMA trainers teaching. Start making plans now to attend. As with Superfoot Wallace, LDMA is affiliated with Joe Lewis Fighting Systems.

The Brazilian JiuJitsu class is doing awesome. Mr. Malone's seminar really helped stepping up everyone's game on the mat. We have some quite a few new students who have extreme potential. Good job goes to the Purple and Blue belts for working with these guys to move their training along at a fast pace. Also, one of the BJJ events has fallen through but will simply happen at a later date. Instead, I have something big planned in its place. Things should be finalized on Monday and announcements will be made. I can't divulge everything on the Internet as others are trying to follow our lead.

LDMA has fighters getting ready for an event coming up soon. Let's help these teammates prepare so they can have good representation. We will provide more information on the event as the date gets closer.

Be on the lookout for announcements on added training sessions as the weather gets warmer.
