EVO Top Team Auditions August 4th & 11th.

Do you like performing in front of a crowd?  Does that type of intensity get your adrenaline pumping?  Evolution Martial Arts Academy is holding auditions to join Evo Top Team, our demonstration team. Evo Top Team will perform demonstrations at future belt graduations and other special events.  A special class on Fridays will allow these team members to work together and prepare for the next performance. 

The only requirement needed to audition is the rank of at least Hapkido Jr. Green Belt.  All students who fulfill this requirement are more than welcome to try out but NOT every student will make it.  Only 6 spots are available on this roster as of right now.  Three of the most important factors we are looking for are focus, following directions, and most importantly technical ability. 

How Auditions Work: 

• Auditions will be held on Sunday August 4^th and 11^th, starting at 9am.
• Students must make an appointment ahead of time (Sign Ups will be on the front counter).  Students can only audition one time.
• Students waiting must wait in lobby area until their turn.    
• Each student will demonstrate in 10 minutes a list of techniques in front of 2 unnamed judges.  (Students have done all these techniques before, list of techniques will not be known to student until they step on the mat) 
• Once students are done they are free to leave.
• Judges will review all notes and students who made the team will be notified a couple days later.

Parents keep in mind there is a possibly only one sibling could make it while the other(s) do not.  Students who make the team may be cut from the team at any time. Auditions will be held again in the future as we increase the number of spots on the team or have to fill available spots.      

Good luck, bring your skills.

New CrossFit Shirt on the Way!

We are releasing a new fun CrossFit shirt for the summer.  We have decided to give you athletes the same shirt Life AsRx uses on some of their shirts.  We went out and got you American Apparel's 50/50 T-Shirt.  50% cotton, 50% polyester which gives a soft, more stretchy, and a little more breathable than the 100% cotton we used on the original shirts.  The shirts are crew neck and we will have women and men cut shirts.  This red shirt is pretty self-explanatory "Harder the WOD, Sexier the BOD" in a distressed bold font.  All you CrossFitters will agree with this quote.   

We are only doing a limited run of these shirts of about 50.  We will take preorders so come in and reserve yours today.  These 50/50 shirts will be $25.  We have various size samples of the shirt now so can come in a try it on to decide the exact size that would fit you.  Try the shirts on before your workouts please :-) Keep in mind the shirts do shrink a bit and the image below is a Mock-Up.  Represent CrossFit at EVO!
