Mt. Pleasant Martial Arts is a locally-owned school located in downtown Mt. Pleasant.
I've been hitting the workouts pretty hard this week, so today is a bit of a rest day, just forms and stretching. With only two weeks left to prepare, I'm trying to focus on little improvements to technique and range of motion.
Fun day on the mats! Forms in the morning, then drilling, combat sparring, and forms in the evening.
With Districts just a few weeks away, we want to give a shout out to this years' MPMA contenders!

⭐ Leadership Board Recognition
Everett, Daymien, Grant, Caden, David, and Scarlett all did an awesome job and earned spots on the Leadership Board!
We are closed today in observance of Memorial Day.
It was a beautiful morning for a workout! We're down to just under three weeks until Districts, so I tried to step things up a bit today in terms of both variety and intensity. It felt like a good way to start the day. How are you going to challenge yourself this week?

Ran through some Judo and Half Guard material tonight before getting some rolls in. Nice work, everyone!
Remember - no classes tomorrow on Memorial Day.
Today was a Jiu-Jitsu day and I almost forgot to film it! It's a different set of skills than Taekwondo, but it's great for my strength, cardio, and problem solving.
