Mini Cubs is a New Mommy/Daddy and Me Program We Are Trying in the Month of December.

We received a phone call last week from a mom asking us if there are classes for her 2 1/2 year old daughter.  We told her unfortunately that is a bit too young for our current Tiny Tiger Program.  She then asked if we ever thought about a mommy/daddy and me class.  Our reply was yes it was an idea but we never had enough interest to start something like that.

She said myself and a group of other moms are interested in this type of program.  We created a Facebook group yesterday just to explain how the program would work to the few moms interested and before we knew we had 28 members join the group.   

So here we are, Evolution Martial Arts Academy proudly presents Mini Cubs, we will start a 4 week free trial session.  Being led by an instructor Moms and Dads step on the mat with their child and work one on one with them.  

Just like our Tiny Tiger program we work on a variety of life skills including
  • Listening / Following directions
  • Focusing 
  • Hand eye coordination
  • Mobility drills 
  • Balance
  • Increased attention
Remember this program is to introduce kids to martial arts while having fun in a safe family atmosphere.  Even shy children will love idea because they can work with mom and dad on the mat and not be intimidated by a new instructor.  It's also a great way to meet other children and socialize.  

Here is what you need to know regarding the program.
  • Once a week class every Sunday.
  • Free classes starting Sunday December 8th, 15th, 22nd, 29th.
  • Time: 10-10:45am
  • Ages 2-4 - (An exception can be made)
  • No Uniforms needed during trial period. (Uniform will be required if continuing after trial)
  • Mini Cubs have same Tiny Tigers Curriculum.  
  • Bring a water bottle (can fill up at our water machine)
  • Before first class please arrive 15 minutes early to fill out a little paper work.
What happens after December 29th?
  • If enough parents feel there is value in this program and like it the Mini Cubs program will continue right into the new year.
  • Pricing - A 10 Class Power Pack must be purchased for $99.  The 10 Class Power Pack gets punched every time you and your child attends a class.  A power pack never expires so if you can't make classes you just save the remaining classes for next time.  
  • A comparable martial arts school has a similar program which has an ongoing $115 per month membership.   
  • New parents will always receive 2 free classes to try out the program.
  • Family discounts will be offered for parents who want to take adult classes or older children who want to take martial arts.   
If you know anyone who maybe interested in a mommy/daddy and me martial arts class please share this link.  Keep in mind this is going to be a fun low key martial arts program that will just bring families closer together while building the EVO community.  

As always please email info@evomaa.net or leave a comment below with any questions.  Thanks.

Morning Classes Start Dec 2nd

There have been a lot of rumors swirling regarding morning classes.  Lets put them all to rest, here is the official announcement.  Morning classes will begin on Monday December 2nd.  Lots of you have been asking for it so your wish is coming true.  We will be adding an additional 12 classes.

We know some of you like to get your workout done and over with in the morning so you can spend more time with your family in the evenings.  The morning schedule will look like this.

Monday & Wednesdays

9am - CrossFit (MIX Level)
10am - Kickboxing
10am - Open Gym (Workout on your own)
11am - CrossFit (MIX)

Tuesdays & Thursdays

9am - CrossFit (MIX)
10am - Hapkido Adults

We have a special "Early Bird" membership pricing for people who can only come to morning classes.  "Early Bird" membership allows you to only come in the morning.  Our "Regular" membership will allow you to come to any classes morning or night.

If you have friends that have been hesitant to start because evening classes didn't work for their schedule morning classes is now the solution.  If you already have kids who come in at night but you can't take classes because you need to take care of them this is your chance to come in the morning.  Take advantage of our family discount pricing.

No excuses anymore, we have just solved a whole lot of issues.

Remember refer 5 friends and to get free classes for yourself, nothing is better than free.  If you have any questions please email, info@evomaa.net
