Saturday May 4th, the Ottawa crowd was treated to an exciting night of fights. New Era was lucky enough to be hosting 8-1 (now 9-1) heavyweight Arjan Bhullar of British Columbia in preparation for his fight against Juan Adams of Houston, TX. Arjan and the rest of the Canadians represented MMA in this country well. Heck of a main event as well between fight of the night veterans, Cowboy & Iaquinta!
MEMBER OF THE MONTH
Tommy Charlton
Tommy joined New Era in October of 2018. 6 months into training Tommy has become one of our most dedicated BJJ practitioners. He constantly puts in the time and rarely misses a technique class! Tommy is like a sponge to Professor Peter, Matt, Mateo & Richard. Tommy recently competed at the Guard Players Open for his 1st ever BJJ tournament (took home bronze) and also took part in our member party BJJ bracket. Congrats to Tommy for being our member of the month for April 2019!

TIP OF THE MONTH:
“Use self talk to change hard times into excitement and perform BETTER!”
– KRU JEFF
“Regardless of your training partner, always try to practice perfect technique when rolling. You don’t need to try to hurt people or use full power when training with new or smaller partners. You should always practice precise & proper technique when sparring.”
— PROFESSOR PETER
