25lbs Lost - A Special Thanks From A Great Student
The following is a letter written to us by Laura, and published with her consent. Laura, we'll look forward to your visits!
Having lived on the Outer Banks for two and a half years, the only regret I have from my time here is not joining Knuckle Up sooner. I have had such an amazing experience as a member of Knuckle Up and I cannot thank them enough. Read more

Kick Off the New Year with KnuckleUp!
Alright gentlemen, step away from the computer, this party is for the ladies only. KnuckleUp is hosting an entire afternoon of health and fitness activities aimed at women. It's going to be a great time, and a great way to set a great tone for 2012!
New Year Resolved
Every year people make New Year's resolutions to get fit and eat healthy, and probably more than a few of you reading this now did the same thing. But making a resolution is the easy part. Trying to actually live by it is a lot harder! So Amanda and Jordyn have decided to put together various activities to help you learn to live a healthier lifestyle.
Amanda and Jordyn will be hosting the event, and there's more than a few things to get into. Amanda has been doing a great job teaching the cardio kickboxing classes, and Jordyn has finally brought Zumba to our humble gym. Between the two of them, there isn't a much faster way to get in shape.
Whole Host of Activities
And while the festivities do begin with a kickboxing class, followed by Zumba, there's oh so much more! In all, Amanda and Jordyn will be hosting:
- Cardio Kickboxing
- Zumba
- Strength and Training
- Healthy Cooking Demo by Mike Mazza
- Health and Wellness Seminar
- Refreshments
- Prizes and Giveaways!
Oh, yeah, the prizes and giveaways. Nearly every salon and spa on the Outer Banks, plus a few others, has donated something for the drawings, and you'll have chances to win things throughout the day. We'll have gifts from Hairoics, Reflections, Planet Pleasing Goods, Style Divita, Diamonds & Dunes, Lotus Spa, and more! And all donations will go to support the Outer Banks Mommy & Me!
So what are you waiting for? It's all happening this Saturday, January 21, from 12-5. So get your tickets now! They're only $20, but get them quick because space is limited and quite a few people have already signed up!
Don't miss your chance to start the new year right with the best place for fitness on the Outer Banks!

Junior Assuncao, BJJ Belt Testing, and Seminars!
Hey everyone, this weekend is shaping up to be a busy one! junior Assuncao, former UFC star and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu blackbelt will be coming back into to town this week! If you remember his visit from last time, you'll know this isn't something you'll want to miss!
Belt Testing
And if you've been on the mat, make sure you come to Thursday's class (May 26) at 6PM. Junior will be belt testing everyone, so if you think you're ready to get a stripe or go up a color, come down and find out. You'll be testing with a master though, so you better have your A+ game ready!
Plus Seminars
Also, Saturday, May 30th, Junior will be teaching a self defense seminar at 10:30 AM followed by a BJJ seminar from 1 to 3 PM. If you were at Junior's last BJJ seminar, you know he taught us a lot of very handy techniques. Most of which I still see in use up at the club. If you missed it last time, or you're new to KnuckleUp since then, make sure you get in there. And you don't have to be a member to get in; they're totally open to the public!
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. Junior has been undefeated since 2008, and he's about ready to get back in the UFC.
Don't miss what will definitely be a seminar to remember. It's not often we have them, but when we do, they're pretty awesome! Only at KnuckleUp, the best gym on the Outer Banks!

Last Saturday was the Good Fight grappling tournament in Williamsburg, VA, and Morrison Butler, Gary Farrow and Steve Heinz went to compete. As expected, Team KnuckleUp performed great, and Gary and Morrison both brought home medals! When asked about their recent string of victories, Morrison says "The run we were on made Sinatra, Flynn, Jagger, Richards, all of them look like droopy-eyed, armless children." Read more
