UFC Veteran Teaching at KnuckleUp! One Night Only!
Hey guys, big news! We’re going to have a seminar with a UFC fighter! Junior Assuncao (10-4) will be coming into town next week, and he will be doing some teaching.
Junior is from Northeastern Brazil originally, but now lives in the Atlanta area. He is a patriotic fighter: he has black belts in Jiu Jitsu AND capoeira, both native Brazilian martial arts. Unlike most MMA fighters who use May Thai or kickboxing as the base for their fighting style, Junior’s style is based in Capoeira. Capoeira requires a lot of agility, and looks like it would be more appropriate in a dance club than the fighting ring.
Seeing Capoeira in action is reason enough to come down for this seminar. Trust me.
He’s been coaching most of the past decade, so teaching a seminar for us is old hat. Plus, he’s the head instructor for Ascension MMA.
Aside from his mastery of BJJ and capoeira, Junior is skilled in boxing, judo, Muay Thai and wrestling. He definitely took the “mixed” part of mixed martial arts to heart. He’s trained in the world renown Black House in Brazil with the likes of Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida.
The seminar will be Thursday, September 23 at 6 PM. Registration is $20, ALL of which will be donated to the PUMP for PINK 10k being hosted by everyone's favorite fitness gym on the Outer Banks, KnuckleUp. Which, I might add, Junior will also be competing in. Call or stop by to register. Space is limited, so don’t wait too long!
And make sure you sign up. Remember the last seminar at KnuckleUp and how awesome it was?
