Refuge Martial Arts Ozark

Refuge Martial Arts had an incredible weekend of training on the road!

Our team traveled to New Albany, Mississippi, for an intensive training session at PAC Martial Arts with the fantastic Mr. Weinhold.

During this special weekend event, we pushed our training to the next level by focusing on three core areas:

🥋🇰🇷Sparring Strategy: We advanced each student's practical knowledge of side kicks, focusing on timing and distance to use them effectively in live sparring.

Forms Refinement: We spent dedicated time sharpening up every student's forms to ensure precision, power, and clean technique.

🇧🇷🥋Jiu Jitsu Introduction: We took a closer look at ground sweeps, specifically focusing on how to transition smoothly into dominant positions to lock in Americana submissions.

Have you ever thought about your own need for realistic self-defense skills? There is no better time than now to build confidence, fitness, and peace of mind.Come join our community at Refuge Martial Arts Ozark to get your training started today!

Labor Day holiday is Monday. Refuge Ozark will be open for normal classes. We may have visitors from other schools as Refuge HQ will be closed.
HOWEVER, We will be closed on Friday September 11th. All students are encouraged to go to Headland Refuge HQ on Thursday for classes. Their schedule is very much similar to ours and on the HQ website. They would be glad to have extra company for practice.

Our Taekwondo class tested a couple of weeks ago for their next rank making great progress to that achievement of a black belt. Great perseverance boys and girls! Additionally several of our Jiu Jitsu fighters attended the FUJI grappling tournament in Auburn, AL to test their skills. We are excited to see the progress you all have made while training this ⛱️🌞 👍😎
