New Summer Flow: Classes, Leadership, and Growth

Announcing new summer classes, leadership opportunities for kids, and expanded programming at The Garden MMA.

New classes, new leadership opportunities for kids, and more space for growth.

We're excited to announce several updates to our summer programming at The Garden MMA.

Expanded Class Schedule

Summer means different schedules for many families, so we've added flexibility to our offerings:

  • Additional morning classes for early risers
  • Extended evening time slots
  • Weekend programming for families who can't make weekday classes

Youth Leadership Program

For our more advanced young students, we're introducing leadership opportunities. Selected students can assist with younger kids' classes, learning how to demonstrate techniques, provide feedback, and support their peers.

This isn't just about learning to teach — it's about developing leadership qualities, responsibility, and communication skills that serve them throughout life.

Open Mat Expansion

We've increased our open mat time during summer months. This gives students more opportunity for focused drilling, position-specific sparring, and working on individual goals with training partners.

Summer is for Growth

The common thread through all these changes: creating more opportunities for growth. Whether you're 5 or 55, brand new or a long-time practitioner, there's always more to learn. Summer gives us the gift of time — let's use it well.

Check our updated schedule and come train with us.
