During this past weekend we had CCK Fight Team's Myra "The Mass Murderer Mascara" Saludares, Darren "Track Star" Barera and Mono "5"-"0" all participate in exhibition fights at Unlimited. All did very well and I am definitely very proud of all you guys. Like anything, practice makes perfect so keep in mind there's always room for improvement for the next time around. HUGE thank you to everyone who made it out so last minute to support the fighters. Man CCK always has amazing support so I guess I should stop being so surprised.Special thank you to Coach Austin who also helped condition the fighters for these particular match ups, as well as The Ant "Bullie De los Santos in helping me corner.

In addition, thanks too Level II for putting those bodies on the line as sparring partners throughout all the sessions of training. No worries though these guys and gals got your back, next time it could be you stepping in that ring! Speaking of Austin, just a friendly reminder too guys he has now started CCK's Strength classes. The schedule is posted on the announcement bulletin board at the gym. Please take note of it however, please do not pull it off the board. More equipment is still to come. Most recently Austin has been training proper technique on kettle bells so please join them.

As another reminder the classes are FREE for this month. Any feedback of course is most definitely welcome. We'll see everyone this evening for classes with Coach Triple S-P-C!

CCK WILL BE CLOSED ON SATURDAY, SEPT. 17.

Without immediate access to my CCK Listing, I posted this on the CCK Facebook fan page and text messaged as many of you as I was able. In reference to what I sent out, CCK will be closed today in order to install bigger mirrors in the main workout room (sorry so last minute guys, didn't think it would take so long to do). Classes will be back on track as usual come Monday. I apologize for any inconvenience.


Monday, September 12, 2011

This Wednesday will be Allan's last day coaching. Iwould like to thank him for his dedication to me as well as to all of you guys, as a solid Coach for CCK. He'll be for sure missed and basically why he'll back back from time to time. He still owes me one more fight right before those gloves are completely hung up.

Coach Celeste will be leading moving forward for Wednesdays. Again Thank you Allan and well wishes from myself and on the behalf of all CCK!

On another note, as announced in class and also hung up on the announcement board as well as a flyer attached here, CCK has added more strength to it's program as an enhancement. As a trial, for this coming OCTOBER the Strength classes will be FREE (For both CCK and Non-CCK so let your friends know too). Austin and I have been meeting frequently to formulate a well thought out program so hopefully everyone finds them to be a definite plus. Moving forward (after the month of October) there will be an additional fee to add these classes to your membership. More details will be available in the Pro Shop.

The tentative schedule is below:
Monday: 11:30-12:30pm 7:30-8:30pm
Tuesday: 6pm-7pm 7:30pm-8:30pm
Thursday: 6pm-7pm 7:30pm-8:30pm
Sat: 11:30am


Friday, September 2, 2011

CCK will be closed this Monday, Sept 5th in observation of Labor Day. All classes and the schedule as usual will be back on Tuesday, September 6th. Definitely look out for more announcements upon your return. Tomorrow's Sat 9am class will be going on as usual.


Wednesday, August 10, 2011

CCK's Annual BBQ and Potluck Picnic is set for this Sat, August 13th @1pm. For those of you who have been before expect the same, there is always SO MUCH FOOD! IWe will have the to-go trays ready as well for those who are willing to take food home.

Location:
Montague Park 3595 Macgregor Ln Santa Clara, Ca 95054

Quick note: THERE WILL STILL BE CLASS 9AM.


Thursday, July 14, 2011

New gym update: The c hanging rooms for both men and women are now available to everyone.

In addition, as a simple thanks for your patience I have shirts to hand out FREE! Sizes and the amount is slightly limited though, so make it in fassst to make sure you get one.

Also, as announced in class, please save the date for CCK's Annual Pinic Potluck Saturday, Aug. 13th. The location (which I'm sure most of you remember) is generally the park near the old gym location. That still may be the case, however, simply stay tuned in case things change. As we approach closer to the date, I'll shoot out another email confirming it all. Please sign up in the Pro Shop so we can plan accordingly. I hope you ALL can make it. Games and prizes as well as plenty of FOOD as usual I'm sure. Last, but not least, a more feasible time possibly for more parents to make it to the Little Champions Program. We're continually looking to build this program, so if you do have little ones fitting these age brackets give the Little Champions a shot. Thanks to Coach Sue and Coach Mariel for continuing pushing these Little Champions to their full potential!

Most recently the schedule is as follows:

Beginner class (ages 5-7):
Monday/Wednesday/Friday @5:15pm
Saturday @ 9:30am

Intro class (ages 3-4):
Fridays @4:30
Saturday @9am


Friday, July 8, 2011

A 7:15pm class has been added on Monday evening. This is simply another available class open to all CCK members at no extra fee! So guys that's a total of up to 16x's a week available to you.
So how to get started and lock in your special offer? You can do it immediately. Regardless if your Groupon has not yet expired, you can take care of things immediately and your CCK "official" membership will begin once your Groupon does expire. So you WILL NOT be stripped of any the time from your Groupon. What this does, is simply ensure you don't miss your expiration date and also won't miss out on your special offer. (You can check ur expiration date and take care of things in the CCK Pro-Shop) So guys many, many more exciting things to come for the CCK Family.


Tuesday, July 5, 2011

I hope everyone had a beautiful 4th of July Holiday Weekend and is ready to get back in the mix training. Thanks so much everyone for being patient throughout the move. Huge thank you to my family and staff who helped with the move (It was for sure a rough one since it happened mainly during the week) starting as late as 5pm to when everyone was pretty much ready to go home. Special thank you to Papa John and Juan for simply being the men who knew how to operate tools.

Tomorrow just to test out the "Flow" of how class will go, I will be holding only ONE class 6-7pm. After this, the class schedule will be exactly the same. Upon entry, although there are back doors, I will ask everyone please (Even though, you definitely can park in back if the front lot gets full) to come through the front door. The new address is 1754 Junction Ave Suite C and D

QUICK NOTE: please excuse "Some" parts of the appearance of the new gym. My main focus was to get classes back in action ASAP. Next we'll be focusing on the decor.


Friday, June 24, 2011

As announced this past Wednesday evening in class, it's official CCK will be relocating. It's been almost 5 years at this location and now we have found a spot solo. Amongst the bumps in the road we've had at our current location, the people in this gym have proven to be amazing!

With all that said, reminder as well, this Sat 9am will be the last class at this location (Actually Little Champions will be last @10:30am). From here, CCK will be closed until the anticipated reopening date Tuesday, July 5th after the July 4th holiday weekend. I know I've yet to disclose the new location address and reason being is only due to construction still in process. Hopefully with time as of an essence, it'll be a nice surprise appearance-wise once it's all done.

Congratulations IZ, Kids Art Night This Friday
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! I just wanted to shoot a quick update along with a reminder:
Eisrael "IZ" Verdusco now ups his record to 2-0 taking another Unanimous Decision this past weekend. A continuous thank you to EVERYONE who came out to support. We sold out all of our tickets, that's awesome guys! Then as compared to fighting dead last like the last time, we were moved up to fight #3 this time around. It definitely stepped up the nerves, but didn't change the outcome :-) Huge thank you's in addition to The Ant "Bully" for helping me corner, Amon "The Model" along with Level II and the rest of the CCK Fight Team for helping IZ prepare. Great job again IZ, proud of you bro! He will be fighting again February next year so I will keep everyone posted.

As another reminder guys this Friday, November 19th make sure to sign up your kids for a Thanksgiving art night at CCK! RSVP required please if you want your kids to come. Once again It is FREE!!

War of Heroes, New Shirts
Eisrael's fight this weekend, Sat November 13th! It will be another War of the Hero's. Iz's opponent will be fighting out of Fairtex the hosting school. As always, it would be great to hear the support from the crowd since obviously Fairtex will for sure be very present. Just to jog the memory a bit, Iz came out of his last fight with a unanimous decision. Goal obviously is to simply repeat it with another "W". Both fighter's will be entering the ring @ 1-0, So basically 1 "O" will have to go, ya know :-/. Other than a slight sickness hump in the road, Iz's been training hard and will be for sure ready come fight night. Tickets are available in the Pro Shop. Last day to get them is tomorrow since they do get returned when we go to weigh in's.

There are new "Simple Statement" shirts by the way, just in case if you wanna rep CCK in a new way :-) The pics are attached.

On a completely separate note: Sue and Mariel are at it again guys :-) Next Friday, November 19th they will be hosting a Thanksgiving art night for the kids! RSVP required please if you want your kids to come. It is FREE and not sure if any of your kids attended the Halloween one they did, but it was a huge success! The kids had alot of fun, um...and I think so did the parents LOL! Boogie will have a sign up sheet tonight, so make sure to get on it.

First LEVEL II Testing
Over ten students came to the gym that day, eager to be a part of the first CCK level II class. They went through grueling exercises that tested their will power and determination to continue. The test ended with a ten round gauntlet, leaving the students exhausted but relieved that they were done. Unfortunately, Coach Ed ended their night with bad news – none of them passed the test due to lack of preparation.

We’re proud to say that none of the guys were discouraged from the first trial. They came back strong, prepared to take the test again, and all of them passed with flying colors. Congratulations to CCK’s first level II class!
