Advancements!

It’s been nine months, and we at ICSA wanted to acknowledge the hardwork of our student body.

Without further ado, here are ICSA’s Intermediate Strikers who have each completed at least 50 hours of Striking coursework:

Guruprasad GV
Neel Balakrishnan
Karthik “Toastmaster” Venkatesh
Rohith Khatawkar
Vivek Krishnan

Next are ICSA’s Jiujiteiros who have now earned their (White Belt) First Stripe after at least 30 hours of grappling coursework:

Ryan Delany
Sukrit Warrier
Biswa Dev
Pierre Digbo
Vighnesh Nathan
Chekuri Swarochish

And finally, in a feat of badassery, those that have moved onto the Intermediate curriculum in Striking, and have also earned their First Stripe in BJJ:

Inderpal “Engine” Singh Sidhu
Soro Ismael
Jayatu Kanta Bhuyan

This has been a long time coming for some of you; we will be announcing advancements once every couple months from now on. When you get the opportunity, congratulate your partners!

ICSA News: Workshop(!), Schedule Augmentation, Incentive

Two announcements and a question:

facebook invitation link below to learn more!:

2) We will be augmenting our schedule to better suit your needs. We will be removing the 7am Wednesday class and adding two afternoon classes on Tuesday and Thursday from 12-1PM.
Currently, we are planning on having
one kickboxing class and one MMA Conditioning class. If you have any feedback, please feel free to reply.

And my question: Do you know of anyone or family that is looking into fitness or martial arts? We at ICSA are considering starting a
kid’s and women’s program. If you have any thoughts, ideas, and most helpful of all, referrals , we are all ears.

Our incentive: If you are an ICSA student and one of your referrals joins, we will give you a month of training for free.

Thanks, and hope to see you on the mat!

Looking for Fighters/Staff!

Hello Everyone,

ICSA is making South India’s first fight team and we need your help!

We need dedicated people that are willing to train at least 10 hours a week and are communicative about when they can’t make it. Every week, I will also make time for private lessons. All training will be FREE OF CHARGE.

If you are looking for a job, once you learn the curriculum well enough you will be a paid assistant at ICSA and then, potentially, a fully fledged instructor.

Prior experience in martial arts is not a must, but would be helpful (including Boxing, Kickboxing, Judo, Wrestling, Kushti, etc).

If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Hope to hear from you soon.
