This weekend, all of the stores at MP 4.5 are having a huge charity event! In order to raise money for the Angel Gift Tree charity, all of the stores in the plaza have gathered together to have a big charity fundraiser, and that includes KnuckleUp! Of course, a party wouldn't be a party without beer, so for a donation, you can drink all day long. And there will be all kinds of other events too!
While KnuckleUp is without a doubt the best place for fitness on the Outer Banks, kickboxing and jiu jitsu aren't the only healthy activities you can participate in to keep in shape. The Outer Banks is an island paradise, and there are plenty of fun activities you can experience right here! Read more
We've talked about Devin Saylor's Outer Banks Paddle Boarding School before. It''s a lot of fun, and its a great way to workout when it's hot out. Classes are flexible and the teacher's a great guy and all around super athlete. And since it's been so hot, our assistant Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instructor Leo Saraceni decided to work off some of the extra weight he put on when his mom came to visit with a watery workout.

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!
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!
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
