Men,

This is a great opportunity to get physical and spiritual exercise together as well as get top quality MMA (mixed martial arts) training. This is going to be challenging and fun without bad attitudes or intimidation. Coach Joe is opening up Eastside MMA just for us so our classes will be private. It is also a missional outpost so invite some of your friends who are interested in MMA to join us who might not otherwise get involved in our church or the sport of MMA. I’m excited by the overwhelming response of men who are choosing to get more physically and spiritually fit. We have 72 men initially wanting to train together.

Team Eastside will have classes available on Saturday mornings at 8:30 - 10:00 AM & Thursday mornings at 7:00-8:30 AM. Classes will be limited to 20 and must have a minimum of 8 participants for class to be held. Email coach Joe at (eastsidemma@mac.com) to reserve your spot.

Choose the class that best fits your schedule.

Training sessions will start with the word & prayer for 20-30 minutes and end with an hour of training. Training for Mars Hill MMA Club will take place on the following days in May:

• Thursday May 8th & 22nd. 9-10:30am
• Saturday May 10th & 24th 8:30-10:00am

As with anything worth your time and effort there is a cost. Coach Joe and Eastside MMA has made this very affordable considering they are opening up the club during off hours just for us. $68.11 includes your enrollment fee, boxing gloves, hand wraps and first class fee ($15) and tax. There is a $15 drop in fee per class thereafter.

Email Coach Joe at (eastsidemma@mac.com) to reserve your spot. We will be creating a Mars Hill Eastside MMA Club group on The City to coordinate training days and to give you the opportunity to reserve your spot so it is critical you email Coach Joe now to reserve your spot, get in on The City group and stay informed. Many of you gave so many options for time it was hard to pick a time that suits everyone. Coach Joe is available for earlier training times like 6 or 7 AM on different days so we can look at options.

There are no shower facilities at Eastside MMA and I’m sure you will need a shower after a hard workout. Please send me suggestions for different times. Coach Joe and I are excited to work with all of you and provide you a great experience. Ill see you on the mats!
