EVOLVE ACADEMY CLOSED - OPEN MAT TRAINING SESSION BEING HELD Saturday, January 20th |
Due to the unpredicted amount of winter
precipitation that has covered our area, we are going to be closed on Saturday, January 20th for all regularly scheduled classes. Open Mat Sessions are being held, and listed below. We are also postponing the Children's Black Belt Ceremony that was originally scheduled. Due to several scheduling conflicts, this ceremony will now be held on Saturday, February 3rd, immediately following children's classes. WE WILL BE HOLDING (2) SEPARATE OPEN
MAT SESSIONS ON SATURDAY, JANUARY 20TH. CHILDREN'S OPEN MAT 8:30 AM - 10:00 AM ADULT OPEN MAT 10:00AM - NOON Mr. Leo will be on hand to answer questions
for students, clarify techniques, suggest training ideas while in attendance, etc. Children can feel free to come train with another young adult student, workout on a bag or free play. Consider this an opportunity for parents to drop off children for an hour and a half just to get the energy out, or if your child wishes to practice this week's technique, Mr. Leo can direct him/her on proper execution, or to offer alternative training suggestions. WE ASK THAT ALL CHILDREN ARE PICKED UP BY 10:00AM SO THAT THE ADULTS CAN HAVE THEIR OWN OPEN MAT TRAINING TIME. If you are an adult student who needs to bring in a child with you, make sure they stay off of the Mats after 10:00 AM. They are welcome to play up front with the megablocks or stay on the turf area. We ask this for safety's sake, since Mr. Leo will be the only staff member available to oversee things and to make sure that all students remain safe. If you are an adult, feel free to come roll
with other students, drill jiu jitsu techniques, train on a heavy bag, utilize our cardio and weight equipment, or take a stab at the Primal WOD!! The Mat is yours from 10-12:) THIS OPEN MAT SESSION IS
FOR OUR CURRENT STUDENTS ONLY!! NO GUESTS ARE PERMITTED If you plan to attend the Open Mat session,
we ask that you abide by all Evolve Academy rules, including wearing appropriate attire (uniform) when on the Mat, keeping your uniform and person clean and sanitized, wearing flip flops/shoes in the bathrooms, etc. We also ask that no child (student or child of a adult student) remain unattended while at the academy. We do understand that this situation is not
ideal, especially since the majority of our main roads are now passable, however many of the secondary roads remain ice covered, and with the low temperatures, there will be limited melting. We considered remaining open, and in fact planned to stay open when only expecting 2-3" of snow, but areas of Montgomery County ended up getting 6+" of snow, which has delayed snow removal and made our back streets a mess. We sincerely appreciate your understanding, and we look forward to a full 6 days of solid training next week!! SEE YOU ON THE MAT & STAY SAFE! EVOLVE Academy Staff |
