Hapkido Jrs. Martial Arts Clinic Sunday March 19th 11:30-12:30

/in , /by

It’s been a while since we have offered one, we will be hosting an Evolution Martial Arts Clinic on Sunday March 19th from 11:30-12:30pm. If your child needs a bit more help in Hapkido working toward their tips or getting ready for an upcoming exam this clinic is perfect for them.  Maybe your child just wants to improve some of the little details.  The cost of this one-hour clinic is $25, the minimum amount of sign ups must be 5 to make the clinic happen.

Think of it as a group private lesson, you pick what YOU need to work and improve on.  Instructors will go around helping you and giving feedback on what you could improve on.  There will always be a good ratio of instructors so you are guaranteed quality attention.

There is no stretching, or games, the hour is strictly working on curriculum and your skills.  This clinic does not guarantee you a tip or a successful passing of your exam.  This clinic is an additional supplement to regular class attendance and practice at home.

If you are interested or have any questions please email info@evomaa.net

Attention all Black Belt Club Members our next Black Belt Club event will be at the Santa Clarita Aquatic Center.  Please join us on Saturday August 27th at 12pm.  This will be a fun afternoon to enjoy some swimming with your Black Belt Club friends.  Since we could have a large group we all need to arrive earlier so we all can get in easily.  The Aquatic Center has 2 recreation pools, one with a water slide which you must be at least 48″ to ride, and a diving pool.  Check out the video below.

Evolution will cover the cost of the Black Belt Club Member, any parents entering or siblings attending will have to pay for themselves (you have to pay an entry fee even if don’t actually swim).  The cost for kids is $4 and adults is $6.  Your entry fee will allow you to stay at the facility from 12pm-5pm.  We will be there for a bit but you are more than welcome to stay as long as you wish.

You are allowed to bring water bottles but no food, as they sell food there.  They have locker rooms with showers and changing areas.  I believe you can re-enter the aquatic center once you get in, they will stamp your hand.  The provided sitting and relaxing area is first come first serve but you can bring your own beach chairs, umbrellas, and possibly pop-up tents)

Join us for the Be Your Own Body Guard Seminar. Saturday June 4th.

SAFER IN A DAY! The Be Your Own BodyGuard seminar 

Please click on this link to register for this seminar at Evolution on Saturday June 4th from 8am-12pm.  Register by May 28th to receive the early bird special.

https://www.regonline.com/builder/site/Default.aspx?EventID=1841984

The ability to protect yourself or a loved one is the single greatest skill you could possess. What if learning how to be your own bodyguard was much easier than you thought? This intensive 4 hour course will give you the foundational knowledge to improve your situational awareness, verbal skills and equip you with simple & practical self defense skills.

The ‘No-nonsense Self-defense’ program is called: Be Your Own Bodyguard and was researched, developed by Coach Tony Blauer, a pioneer of modern self-defense. He has created a system based on physiology and natural biomechanics called SPEAR, it’s based on the startle-flinch response, which is part of the human survival reflex. This is an 80,000 year old DNA hard-wired into our survival system – to say it’s stood the test is understatement. What this really means is you already have the key to the system hardwired in you.

During the course, our certified trainers, will reconnect you with this primal skill. Our approach to self defense will reawaken your situational awareness and teach you a patented approach to identifying and managing fear. The program also includes an effective verbal de-escalation system and the simplest approach to personal defense using natural bio-mechanics. You’ll be ‘Safer in a Day’.

Participants will be exposed to the following principles and drills:

AWARENESS & AVOIDANCE

* The 3 D’s: Detect, Defuse, Defend
* The Non-Violent Posture
* What is behaviorally- based Self-defense?
* What the Bad-guy wants
* What the Bad-guy doesn’t want

FEAR MANAGEMENT

* Biological vs Psychological Responses
* The ABCs of Self-defense
* The Cycle of Behavior: How to manage fear

YOUR 24/7 ARSENAL 

* Personal weapons (palm strike, forearm, elbow, knee)
* The SPEAR Tactic
* Tips on how to evaluate your routine
