Hey everyone! There's been a lot going on around the club lately, and we wanted to make sure everyone is in the loop. We had a marathon, an upcoming tournament, a fitness champ and more! KnuckleUp members are known for their competitive drive, and this week, it's coming in spades.
I weigh 200 pounds, I am six feet tall, and I'm going to laugh at you as you punch and kick me. I will not move, but you will not quit.
I sit, silently watching you do pushups next to me. I feel your legs clutching at me as you do sit-ups. I can smell the slightly acrid smell of your sweat, rich with adrenaline as the class pushes you further than you thought possible.
I hear the instructor barking out combos, 1-2-1-1-3-2. I see the apprehension pass fleetingly over your face as you try to remember the punches that those numbers mean and the look of satisfaction as it comes to you. I feel your blows, but they don’t faze me.
Every day, I watch you come and sweat. I see your pain. I see your struggle.
But I also see your triumphs.
The way your face becomes tranquil as you find that sweet spot where your muscles take over, and your blows come with speed, force and, most importantly, determination.
No longer do you need to stop and catch your breath every ten minutes. Now you lead the class! You are lean, defined. You are strong!
Now, now I feel your punches as they land! Your kicks lift me off the ground! My chain keeps me tethered, but I swing madly!
And you never relent! Mercilessly, you throw combos that land viciously and accurately.
I feel the sting of every blow as it lands.
Bryan Maher's updated results! He just cant stop looking better 
Master Kazeka Muniz. Notice the awesome gi.
Next Friday, October 15th, Master Kazeka Muniz is flying all the way from Palmdale, CA to teach a seminar in Norfolk. If you have any interest in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, wrestling, or grappling in general, you really need to be at this seminar.
Why? Because Kazeka Muniz is the man.
If you know Chris Stolzman, you've probably heard of Kazeka. He's Chris' BJJ coach and used to work for KnuckleUp in Atlanta. He now runs a fitness center in Palmdale, Premium Fitness. And there's plenty more reasons he's awesome!
Kazeka "demonstrates" a triangle on Chris.
Are those good enough reasons for you to hop in the car and take a ride to Norfolk? I was ready to go just because he's Chris' coach. The rest of it is just gravy. But really, Kazeka's achievements are pretty damn impressive.
So if you think you'd be into it, and if you read this far you probably are, here are the details. The seminar is being hosted by Kobukan Karate and it is being held at the Norfolk Masonic Temple. The address is 7001 Granby street, Norfolk.
It starts at 7:30 PM. Bring your gi. Tickets are $10.00 for general admission, and $15.00 for hands on floor seating. Participants on the floor must be 8 years old or over.
So if you like grappling of any sort, there's no reason not to go.And even though you work out at the best fitness gym on the Outer Banks, it's still a great idea to see how other people are doing it.

The Get Pumped for Pink 10K is coming up next Saturday. Have you registered yet? Make sure you do, it's going to be a blast! UFC veteran Junior Assuncao is going to run the race right off the heels of his seminar Thursday evening, which you also shouldn't miss.
And now we bring you news of another reason to come down and support the race. Aaron and Christina of OBX Massage Therapy will have their services on hand. Either before or after the race you can get a massage to get your blood pumped, or to relax sore muscles after the race. Or just get a massage because they feel really good!
Aaron and Christina will be offering massages by the minute. So whether you want a brief rub down to get you started, or a little work to get the knots out of a sore muscle, they've got you covered.
They'll be set up inside the club, and will donate a portion of the money to the fight against breast cancer.
Aaron and Christina own and operate OBX Massage Therapy, and provide a variety of at-home massage packages. They offer Swedish, deep tissue, facials and more. They also feature a range of bridal packages for both grooms and brides.
When the race is over, don't forget to cool down and work out the kinks with some light physical activity. A great way to do it is with a few rounds of cornhole using some custom cornhole boards!
So come down to the gym a little early, or stay a little late, and ease your tired muscles. Running 10k is a perfectly valid reason to relax and pamper yourself a little bit, even if it's just a minute.
