Son's 4th birthday!

Both my boys (age 6 and 4) go to Auburn MMA for a kick boxing. I'm very much familiar with the environment and I've always liked the staff and my boy's master, Mr. Andy. So I couldn't think of a better place to host my son's 4th birthday party. That was the best decision I made especially given the fact that I decided to do the party 2 weeks prior to the birthday date. This birthday was the most stress free planning I've ever dealt with. Emily (I think she is the director of MMA) communicated with me at least once a day to update me where she is with the planning prior to the party. She arranged everything from the decoration, cake, pizza and sodas. In addition to what MMA provided, the only items I brought with me were Caprisun and goodie bags for the kids and fruit/veggie trays and chips/dips for the adults. When I walked in on the day of the party, I was very pleased with the decoration and setup Emily did. During the party, she made sure everyone was well taken care of and I didn't have to do anything. I felt like a guest at my own party.

I'd invited 14 kids including the b'day boy so I was a little worried how they will be able to keep all the kids engaged. Mr. Andy and his assistant had all the kids entertained and even spent one on one with every kid. For the kids, they had a board breaking session as well as an obstacle course. My son's little friends had so much fun at the party that some of the kids' parents are even talking about signing up their little ones to MMA. Mr. Andy also made sure the birthday boy felt extra special by letting him be the first on all the activities and also he had my son wear a black belt. The other big thing, my son got to do was cut the b'day cake with a real Samurai sword which he was given to keep. Thank you Emily, Mr. Andy and all the MMA staff for making my son's 4th birthday extra...

I started my 4-yr old daughter in the Little Champions class to help her focus energy and gain self-confidence after my divorce. She began to really come out of her shell after a few classes and now CANNOT WAIT to get to class three times a week. In fact, she enjoyed it so much that I signed up for the ladies jiu-jitsu class and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! It has done the same for me as it did for my daughter- I am more confident, it's an excellent way to relieve symptoms of stress, and most importantly, it's just a good time. There is really a sense of family at Auburn MMA that is infectious. Everybody knows each other and genuinely care if you are having a good experience in classes. Mr. Randall is AWESOME and so is his sweet wife and family, who are there most days and nights to greet us with a smile and hand out popsicles at the end of class (one of my daughter's favorite parts). I've also participated in the ladies kickboxing classes with Andy, and somehow, he makes it fun to work so hard that it hurts to move. All in all, I highly recommend this gym....amazing staff, amazing teachers, amazing atmosphere!!!! And no, I have not been paid to say all of these...

I attend jiu jitsu classes around 5 times a week and also take a judo class once a week. This is an amazing place to really learn martial arts and meet some wonderful people along the way. I have trianed for around a month now and have noticed significant improvement on my mood, health, and martial Arts skills. Everyday I am so anxious to get to class because it is the highlight of my day to walk on that mat and begin to learn and improve. The prices are very reasonable and there are a variety of payment options to choose from and believe me it is worth every penny. Jiu jitsu is a life changing experience and the best part is that it requires nothjng more than one's dedication from ages 3 to 93. With each class my confidence grows and I begin to find my own personal style of jiu jitsu. There isnt anyone like Randal, Miss Emily, and their staff at aurburn jiu jitsu and if you are considering taking a class, dont hesitate! Schedule a first free class and come see...
