This week at Dynamic MMA: June 27-July 1

Wow! We were super busy the last two weeks. Boys and Girls Club summer camp, Camp Millennium, self defense seminars for Roseburg area teachers, self defense seminar for Bureau of Land Management, all capped off with a great submission grappling tournament.

I just want to say a really big “Thank You” to everyone that helped out during these last couple weeks to help out with these events.

Very often I hear the comment, “you guys are everywhere!”This comment is referring to the fact that we spend so much time working with different community projects and organizations that we are seen a lot. This is not by accident. We have worked very hard over the years to demonstrate not just the physical effectiveness of our martial arts, but the positive influence it is in our lives.

None of this would be possible without great students. Our dojo has grown and continues to grow.  Just as a martial artist matures with his/her advancement through the ranks, a dojo matures with the development of its members. We chip away the negatives and hold onto the positives. We constantly seek out to improve. I believe we have the greatest group of students training with us now that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. I also believe that we have a remarkable group of instructors. Thank you all. 

DSGC IX was a great success! Everyone in attendance seemed to like the event. The quality of athletes and atmosphere continue to improve. The match ups were great at this tournament. I enjoyed watching every match that a reffed for. I am looking forward to DSGC X. Congratulations to all the winners and participants. Also, big congratulations to everyone that helped out. Pulling together is what helps make the event so good. 

Well, with the busy weeks behind us, we can get back on track with some other things. First off, look for big changes on our website soon. Also, I am looking into building a Dynamic MMA app for i-phones and android phones.
