New Class Schedule...On Ramp CrossFit Classes Now Active.

We have made changes to our class schedule, we tried to accommodate everyones schedule the best we could.

Our regular CrossFitters from the day we opened are slowly getting the hang of most of the functional movements and techniques which has been great.  We noticed that they all have improved their fitness levels.  It is time we start dedicating classes for beginners and others who have never done CrossFit.  The On-Ramp classes will have the Skill Work broken down even more and a WOD that is scaled or modified for beginners.  The coaches will decide if new CrossFitters are ready to merge into the regular classes.    

We strongly urge our regular CrossFitters to not take the On-Ramp class because more focus will be dedicated to the beginners.  If you are a regular CrossFitter and you feel like you need a refresher on a technique or if you just missed your regular class and need some type of workout for that day then come to this class.  You will do the intro WOD which will not be as challenging for you.

On Ramp Classes:
Mondays & Wednesday 7:00pm
Saturday 9:00am

Hapkido and Kickboxing class times have also changed as well. Please visit our website regularly for any news and class scheduling changes. Thank You.

Limited Run of 100 Grand Opening Shirts - Preorder Now.

Hello everyone, our Official Grand Opening event is just around the corner (July 14th).  In celebration of our special day James has designed a limited edition Grand Opening shirt.  The color behind the letters is actually bleached out.  The shirts will be $20 and comes in crew cut only.  Unfortunately it will only be in the mens and children sizes, so ladies you will need to pick up a size mens small or medium.  We feel that the Sanbon shirts are soft enough and form fitting enough that it should be fine.  We are only printing 100 shirts so if you are interested let us know sooner than later.  You can send us a message on Facebook or email info@evomaa.net.  Shirts will be sold on a first come first serve bases.  Any left over shirts can be purchased on the day of the event.

Our First Deal with Affective Living.

We have partnered up with Affective Living because we believe in education and charities.  Affective Living is similar to any other group buying deal sites (ie. Groupon, Living Social), the only difference is they give a percentage back on every deal to the local schools and or charities of the buyers choosing.  Their area of focus for now is northern portion of the San Fernando Valley, Northridge, Chatsworth, Granada Hills, and Porter Ranch.  They are slowly expanding.

Our first deal is a Martial Arts deal of unlimited training for a month plus uniform for $49.  If you know any one who lives in the area and is interested please have them visit:

http://affectiveliving.com

They offer a lot of great deals with the local businesses in our area.  Affective Living loves giving back, and what a better way to help our community than invest in our community’s future…our children, local non-profits and charitable organizations!

Accumulate Facebook "Check-Ins" at Evolution Martial Arts Academy to Earn Discounts and Free Stuff.

We would like to somehow thank all of our loyal students for coming into Evolution Martial Arts Academy training and working hard on a regular basis.  So we have come up with a way to reward them.  We will break this down as simple as possible.  Starting Wednesday June 13th do the following:

Check-In
1.  Check yourself into Evolution Martial Arts Academy on FACEBOOK when you arrive.  You will see  "Accumulate check-ins for rewards. Up to 50% off" (example below, may look different based on the version of FB on phone)

2. Take Class

3. Go Home (shower)

4. Do it again next time.  Check-in as much as possible.

5. Once you have checked in 20 times it should say "Present this screen to Jason or Brandon"

6.  We then input into the good ole computer that you checked in 20 times and then you start all over.

Cash-Out

So you have a bunch of check-ins what can do with them?  We are in the process of developing a chart that you can pick and choose how to spend your check ins.  For example 25 check-ins can earn you 50% off a T-Shirt.  Or you can save up 50 check-ins for a Free T-Shirt.  

So remember June 13th start racking up Check-Ins...who knows one item maybe a Free Month.  Something so simple can earn you some cool stuff in our opinion.

*Some exclusions do apply ask Jason or email info@evomaa.net if you have any questions.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WORLD'S WINNINGEST FIGHTER ENTERS ROUND 60

Woodland Hills, California - In a world where fame is fleeting and most people fight for their 15

minutes of fame, martial arts movie star and kickboxing legend Benny "The Jet" Urquidez is reaching

one more milestone: his 60th birthday.

To celebrate a life dedicated to martial arts and personal excellence, Urquidez will host and teach

a Kickboxing Certification and Training Camp on Thursday, June 14, through Saturday, June 16.

Attendees to the training camp, (to be held at Team Karate Centers in Woodland Hills, CA) will have

the opportunity to hear Urquidez teach words of wisdom garnered in a professional career without peer.

Most pro fighters hope for a hint of the limelight, perhaps a chance at a title shot. Urquidez's pro

fighting career spanned more than two decades, with 63 world titles. He is the only fighter in history to

have retained six World Championships in five weight divisions for 24 consecutive years. He was

named Black Belt Magazine's Fighter of the Year and inducted into their Hall of Fame. He became an

international movie star in his own right, appearing with Jackie Chan, John Cusack, and Jean-Claude

Van Damme; and simultaneously trained with and choreographed fights for Hollywood A-listers like

Tom Cruise, Nicolas Cage, and Mark Wahlberg. Urquidez even founded and created Ukidokan Karate,

recognized by the Okinawan Masters of Japan as an official modern martial art.

But above and beyond all his other accomplishments, Benny "The Jet" Urquidez is and always

has been, first and foremost, a teacher. To that end, he invites all comers to share his birthday

celebration and participate in the Kickboxing Certification and Training Camp.

Attendees will spend Thursday, Friday, and Saturday training with "The Jet" and learning his

methods and skills. And more important, they will have the priceless opportunity of hearing his

philosophy and the life lessons that have kept him going strong in careers where most people last

months, not decades. There will also be a special reception at Team Karate Centers on Friday night to

celebrate Urquidez's 60th birthday, and all attendees to the seminar are welcome to share in the

festivities (as a special treat, the birthday reception is open to any and all who have trained with "The

Jet"). Those who complete the weekend course to Urquidez's will also have the opportunity to test for

Level 1 Ukidokan certification at the end of the course.

Tickets for the once-in-a-lifetime event start at $249 and are available at http://bennythejet.com/

seminar.asp. Past and present students of Urquidez who wish to attend the 60th celebration may

RSVP to BennyTheJet52@gmail.com.
