Deerfield builds a foundation for a better you

Whether you're a tough guy or not there is a new family-friendly sports facility in town where you can channel your energy in the form of kicks, punches and smiles. Cornerstone MMA celebrated their grand opening in style on July 28th with boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai demonstrations from current students. Attendees were eager to win membership prizes along with getting face time with master trainer and co-founder Justin Hanlin. Hanlin brings a wealth of martial arts experience and looks forward to helping members build a well-rounded foundation and ultimately become the best you can be. The excitement around the gym is hard to contain as Cornerstone MMA hopes to bring recognition to Deerfield in the pursuit of an Olympic champion. The recent decision by the International Olympic Committee to allow the sport of Kickboxing provisional recognition means that in the next three years the World Association of Kickboxing could capture attention on the mainstage of the Olympics.

Cornerstone MMA is set to capitalize on this with their roster of athletes. Most exciting about this gym is that everyone is treated like family while Northshore moms workout alongside competing athletes. There is a spot for everyone with classes including bootcamp, cardio kickboxing, kickboxing, kids martial arts, and no-gi grappling. To schedule a free class: www.cornerstonemma.com
