4 SIMA students trained for and passed the Thaiboxing Association Student Level 1 test on Saturday, March 17th. Jordo Nichols, Rick Monce, Nick Johnson, and Jiame Forero all did an awesome job and fought hard to finish two rounds of 60 kicks and 35 knees in 3 minutes while their pad holder “tested” them, and they were tested!These guys only had 6 weeks to prepare and they really pushed their conditioning through the roof.

On Saturday, March 10th, SIMA conducted a one-hour women’s self defense class with a focus on the use of a personal protection tool called a Kubaton keychain. This practical item provides a common sense approach for defending yourself in dangerous situations. Participants included students from SIMA, MKG, as well as the curious novice.

Kerry Copeland did an awesome job at organizing and conducting this event. With the help of students Jaime Forero, Laura Custer, Jordan Zebor, and Nikki Sturtevant, our seminar was fun and informative!

Outdoor Classes a Big Hit!

Guro Bob — Tue, 02 Aug 2011 10:00:28 +0000

[[Show as slideshow]]Last year we talked about it many times, “We should do class outside!”. Well it took a whole season to go by and since late spring we’ve conducted more than a dozen days of classes outside in the park! It adds a whole new dimension to the training and, let’s face it, here in Seattle you got to soak up the sun as much as possible! Here are a couple of pictures for various classes.
