New FFA Schedule for the CAP Program!

April 7, 2009

As a result of the open house meeting last week, we have added more classes and made a slight schedule change! Using the extra room we just added, we have added a couple of extra classes, like the new “Executive Class” (for students over age 40) and a new weapons class during a much better time slot! We also pushed the 6:15pm to 6:00pm, 7:30pm to 7:15pm, and 8:40pm to 8:30pm.

We have also shuffled the instructors around! We did this to give everyone a chance to work with a new instructor and also for our instructors to be able to meet everyone. At 6AM, we have brought in FFA Brown Belt superstar and Thailand veteran Coach Chevenne Moreno – by popular demand, he is now teaching CAP classes in the mornings. I am also teaching a new COLOR BELT only class for everyone that is blue belt and above, four days a week, in the evening – along with the pro-fighters. If you are a color belt, come and train with us!

There is one typo though that I just noticed, that at 12:30am, Monday-Thursday, the instructor is Coach Denis Hernandez, who is now back from Thailand with some amazing kickboxing techniques!

THE NEW SCHEDULE BEGINS ON MONDAY, APRIL 13. All the new classes will start then as well.

FFA Beach Workout on Saturday, April 11!

April 7, 2009

Attention all FFA CAP students and Women’s Bootcamp, we have a special event planned for Saturday, April 11! It’s Coach Marcos and this event is only for the CAP Students and Women’s Bootcamp… we are having a Beach Workout and Get-Together at Crandon Park on Saturday, April 11 at 10AM! For those of you that don’t know, Crandon Park is right on the beach. The idea came from when I was in Thailand and we did a beach workout. Here is a video of what we are trying to duplicate down here:

We rented out a shelter, so after our workout we can swim in the beach, chill out, and have some food with a barbecue right by the beach in the beautiful Crandon Park! All the CAP members and their families are invited! There is no charge, but any contribution of food or drinks would be very appreciated. This event is going to be posted on FFAspace.com under the “Events” tab… on there, please leave a comment of what you plan on bringing so that we don’t have the same item brought 80 times over :) You should see it on FFAspace by Tuesday.

It’s very easy to get to the park, you can mapquest.com the directions, here is the address: 4000 Crandon Boulevard, Key Biscayne, Florida 33149We are at Shelter #7 which is right by the “North Beach” entrance. We are meeting at 10AM SHARP and staying to about 3 or 4pm. There is a $5 parking fee. If you have any questions, feel free to ask any of the staff at FFA for more details or email info@FFAgyms.com. Thanks everyone! And to the rest of you who aren’t in the CAP yet, we’ll be planning some events for you as well. Stay tuned!

FFA Instructor Course Update – Course Postponed Until May 16

April 7, 2009

We are about to conduct our 2nd ever FFA Instructor Course. This is a 10 week course designed to educate potential instructors on how to teach martial arts and how to motivate and pump up their students. Every instructor at FFA has been through the course.

To be elibigle for the course, you must at least be a blue belt and be able to assist in teaching two classes a week. For the ten week course, which will be starting Saturday, May 16, we will be meeting every Saturday for two to three hours starting at 12pm. The first Saturday is extra long though, about five hours.

I originally wrote that would be started next week – BUT I got too over excited :) The reality is that next week I have an event I have to go to, the weekend after is the Beach Workout and fights, the weekend after I will be in Texas, the weekend after I will be FIGHTING, and the weekend after I will be in Washington, D.C… so basically, May 16 is the best time to get started – and I am clearning out the next 10 weeks of my schedule after that SPECIFICALLY for this course!
If you can meet the requirements and are at least a blue belt, please email me back so that I can send over an application. If you are interested, reply ASAP so that I can send over the applications. Last semester we had 22 students and it was TOO many, I ended up having to break it up into two sections… this semester I will only take in ten students, so I will accept the ten best applicants based purely on the applications, so reply ASAP.

Thank you! And to everyone else that isn’t a blue belt, take comfort in knowing that all your instructors meet rigorous testing and education to be able to teach at FFA – we don’t just grab anyone to teach!
