November Newsletter

Dear  Alan

Combined news for amc-training and Challenge Central this month.

October has been a great month for events and there is lot of updates to report on.

Amc-training News

Grading System

I have been working on a grading system which supplies a visual to our current levels of fitness.

The ideal of the scale is help increase motivation and structure to training.

It's not a competition and its not compulsory but please take a look and let me know you thoughts. 

I propose to hold set times when gradings can be conducted like you would find in any martial arts progression system.

Shop

I have gone back to the original company who made the first amc-training shirts for new T Shirts,Tank tops, Ladies vests and Hoddies.

This means there is slight increase in price but the quality of the material and printing is worth the extra. I have demo's in all if you would like to see before you buy.

The Mongolian Gobi is a land of extremes. Its imposing sand dunes, towering mountains and seeminlyg endless sun-baked desert plains are home to wolves, bears, vultures and nomadic goat herders.
