RMAI NEWS UPDATE
Hello everyone,
I hope you all had a great weekend. Nothing new to report regarding events, and special class times.
I wanted to remind everyone that we are on the new schedule (as implemented in December). Be sure to bring your child to class ON TIME! If you’re going to be late, please let us know… Habitual lateness is disrespect in a martial art school. Giving out pushups or burpees for being late is not something we enjoy doing. Students who arrive 15 minutes late or more, will not be given credit for class.
If you’re unsure as to what class to attend, or have trouble making the specified times, please see Master Celona
Also, remember to bring all gear and equipment to every class. If students in the Young Gladiator and Warrior Training classes ranked Orange and Above are in need of sparring gear or training equipment, please see a staff member.
STRIPE CHECK.
Take note of the following dates for upcoming stripe weeks:
· February Stripe Week
2/10 through 2/15

Hello everyone!
I wanted to reach out and let everyone know that we are OPEN for classes today. Most of the roads that I saw on my way here were open and cleared. If anyone’s street hasn’t been plowed and can’t make it into class tonight, that’s ok, we would rather you stay safe and warm in your house. Classes are open all week. Anyway, we are here, ready to train! There is GUP testing going on tonight for a few people (see below). We are not cancelling classes tonight, testing students will be evaluated in class.
Be safe out there and stay warm.

Hello Everyone!
Today is the last day of classes for 2024. I can’t believe we are here already! The year has flown by. I want to wish everyone a happy and memorable Christmas/Holiday/New Year’s/Winter Break. I’m very excited for 2025. I hope I’m not alone in my overall feeling of optimism and eagerness to get started working on new goals for the coming year. I have a variety of new things that hopefully I will get to share with you, beginning in January.
Remember, show up tonight for classes. Let’s end 2024 with some good training!
SPECIAL SCHEDULE to be ADOPTED FULL TIME IN 2025!
Last week we experimented with a new format and class schedule. The overall feeling was that people were happy with the times and the split of the class groups. Being that the new format was successful, we’d like to make this schedule change permanent for 2025. From a learning perspective, it proved effective in giving students greater attention, and from a teacher's perspective, it was easier to organize and keep the students on task. We still are evaluating a few students with the idea of inviting them into the next class up, so stay tuned. If you have any questions, please see Master Celona.

Happy Monday everyone!
It’s raining outside, so what better way to pass the time than to come to class tonight! Oh yeah, important information below. WRITE IT DOWN
REMINDER – TODAY STARTS SPECIAL SCHEDULE!!
Due to the class size of our Young Gladiators program, we feel it’s increasingly difficult to properly give students the attention they need. In addition, many of the students in our Little Champions program is on the cusp of transitioning to the standard RMAI curriculum and might be better served in something more akin to our standard Young Gladiator program…. AND with the pending promotion of a few students to Brown and Red ranks… the need to break up the classes into smaller units is greatly needed. For the week leading up to Christmas and our Winter Break, December 16th through the 23rd we are having a special schedule in an effort to better serve the student body. If all goes well, we will make these changes permanent for 2025.
PLEASE, any questions or concerns with availability, or if you’re not sure where your child is supposed to attend, email me, or send me a direct message.
ALSO!! I’m pleased to announce that BUNHAE CLUB is back!!
