This is a big week for YUMT...competition, demo week for new session, and Iowa.

This is a time when we need to stand strong and properly, both in representing ourselves as individuals and as a group. Nothing is perfect, ideal or stagnant, but we must do the best we can to stay strong and give hope for the future students in our sport. Training without a desire for personal growth is starved of meaning.

We're starting to do big things...getting our fighters more fights, crossing the border for the first time and putting our name out there. It's going to take all of us to uphold the integrity of our gym.
