Self Defense Black Belt

We are now forming our Self-Defense Black Belt classes: Simple... Easy To Learn... And Designed So Almost Anyone Can Do It...

Our Licensed Self Defense Black Belt Program™ Facility is designed with real world self defense in mind, no ineffective moves or wasted time.

This program was specifically created so that just about anyone at any fitness or experience level can learn the techniques needed for effective self-defense!


Check out the video (and, yes, that IS Mrs. Schulenburg dishing out those punches!) and learn more about our program!

Training in Hutto, Texas

Mrs. Schulenburg and I have just returned from a weekend of tough training in Hutto, Texas (Home of the Hutto Hippos!). Renowned Martial Arts Instructor and Certified Trainer Mike Massie put us through our paces with both a Fitness BootCamp and his new endeavor, Black Belt Self-Defense, a program designed to bring real world self-defense skills to adult students without putting them at risk of injury in their workouts. Both are exciting programs and are perfect for our Fitness Students as well as our older MMA students.

For those of you who haven't experienced a Fitness BootCamp as yet - we're starting another session of our Fitness Fun classes on Aug 25. This is an opportunity to experience the workout part of our BootCamp without the nutrition component - at a bargain price! Classes will meet for the next two weeks on Tuesday and Thursday at 7:15PM and will be an introduction to some of the exercises that we do with our BootCamp classes. If you're interested, please call Carolyn at 815-334-9662. Call soon because we do limit class size to 12 participants.

And... we've got some great new ideas from Mr. Massie. I'd tell you more, but I'm too sore to type anymore! :-)

Just Another Day...

It's been a wonderfully cool summer thus far. A little too rainy perhaps, but we've not seen the 90's and 100's (with lots of humidity!) that many summers in this area seem to be built around!

This has made training a lot more fun - we don't have to hide behind air-conditioned doors and instead can let the cool breezes blow through our studio!

It's been a good summer for not only our MMA students, but for our Fitness KickBoxing and Fitness BootCamp students, too.

If you're still looking for a way to have some fun while working out, our Fitness classes truly are a great mix of great times and great workouts. Programmed by Mrs. Schulenburg, each class is a little different, each brings something new to the mix - and students are truly motivated by both the good times and the results!

Come join us! We've got special summer rates in effect through August and family members of our MMA students can save even more!

It's a great time to get in shape... and have a whole lot of fun doing it!

Summer Schedules!

Our Summer Schedule is now available at the Web Site so go take a look! We've moved a few of our evening classes to the daytime hours. After our next test, we will have a calendar that shows the rest of the summer (until school starts again!) by each day and date. Hopefully, this will be a little easier to understand. If you ever have questions about when a class meets, please give us a call at 815-334-WMMA!

NAGA Milwaukee 2009

The WMMA HIT Team had a blast at the 2009 NAGA Midwest Championship Tournament on Saturday - and brought home sword trophies and many medals as well! Our High Intensity Team, coached by Mr. Ian Nevitt, consisted of Savannah Fredricksen, Kassandra Salgado, Johnny Zei, Jesus Hernandez, Josh Muhlenfeld, Jeremy Jarnecke, Assistant Instructor Jimmy Zei, Assistant Instructor Tara O'Connell, and Instructor Alan Dyson.

Despite some REALLY tough competition, our nine member team brought home nine medals, including two first place Swords, second and third place medals and one special Gold Medal for Good Sportsmanship earned when Johnny Zei took on an extra fight to help fill out a weight/age category and give some other fighters a chance to compete.

As always, our Team showed incredible perseverance on the mats - and even more incredible friendliness and good sportsmanship all around. It's always amazing how fighters that appear so engaged in battle can moments later be hugging and shaking hands - and congratulating each other on matches well fought. Truly, this is the reason we go to these National Events: to meet new friends, to compete on a friendly basis and to learn more about our art.

Pictures and videos will be available soon!

Pool Party June 27th

Yep, it's time for the 3rd annual Woodstock Mixed Martial Arts and Fitness Pool Party! It will be held at the Woodstock Water Works on Saturday morning, June 27th. We will NOT have classes that day (it's testing week and we'll schedule tests earlier in the week) - so everyone will make plans to be there, right!?

Save the date - and cross your fingers for good weather!

Pro Scouts and Promoters

Woodstock Mixed Martial Arts has recently received an email request from fight promoter Brian Angelo, requesting us to consider sending some of our students to the NO WAY OUT event that Fight Card Entertainment is holding in Gages Lake on May 30.

Brian wrote, "...the Main Event will be Jason Graves VS. Ron Ermillio for the Middleweight Championship but we're looking to fill the card with local talent. FCE is all about what’s best for the fighters and looks to evenly match your guys and not put them in with anyone who is over-experienced."

Our showings at NAGA and our website seem to have caught the eye of the "pros".

Stay tuned!
