Youth MMA Summer Camp
Now Enrolling!
Dates: June 23 - August 1
Days: Monday, Wednesdays & Fridays
Time: 10:00 - 11:30
Location: Kingstowne's South Center aerobics room
MASK is proud to offer a unique summer experience for children ages 10-17. The concept of "mixed martial arts" training was around long before UFC; even before Bruce Lee. Martial arts masters often sent their top students to study new concepts and techniques under other renowned masters from all over Asia. Sensei Brian Oviatt has had experience training in and teaching karate, jiu-jitsu, taekwon-do, kickboxing and various weaponry. He has brought this knowledge together into a 6-week, 15 lesson program designed to teach the students the basic components of unarmed self-defense and martial sport.
Most importantly, Sensei Oviatt brings to the training an emphasis on character not frequently seen on the average MMA broadcast. Emphasis is placed on self-control (physical, mental and emotional), courtesy, humility and respect in all situations while building a solid foundation for self-confidence and self-discipline through rigorous training.
Registration forms are available at the Snyder Center or by contacting Sensei Oviatt.
