Channel 4 News at Novamma

In Case you missed the Channel 4 News segment titled- "Women who Punch"

600 people came to our school last Saturday...

Thanks to Red Dog Events, we were able to be a part of the "Great Urban Race" and 600 different folks had to find us, do a 5 minute kickboxing lesson as part of their task/clue.  From 1:00 - 5:00 pm on Saturday, May 2nd, participants came in pairs, big and small groups, coming in and out of our school just to receive their 5 minute lesson.  It was defeinitely entertaining, hectic and fun watching!  Imagine walking right through the door, and Derek orders them to "20 Pushups, 20 Squats and 20 Situps" right off the bat.  

Here are some fun pictures from the event:
