First-session notes
Class order
Checkpoint-by-checkpoint reading for session times, wrap stations, and ring routes so a new member can follow the hour without guessing the next drill. Keep the same order when you come back for the second Edmonton class. The note keeps stance, bag lanes, and gym etiquette in order so confidence grows before the first pad combination.
Sparring prep
Prep lists
Concise notes for headgear, round length, partner matching, and late fitness checks before a controlled sparring night in Edmonton. Aisha Grant keeps those lists short so a 6:30 p.m. whistle opens a disciplined round instead of a mixed recap.
Gear help
Wraps and gloves
A practical route through wrap layers, glove ounce, and second-pair rotation so gear stays ready for every class. Protect the hands first, then chase an 8.7 pad round. Luis Ortega treats the setup as part of technique, not an afterthought in the lobby.
Strength ledger
Conditioning explainers
One cycle at a time, with comparison points where roadwork, core work, and bag intervals actually matter for the next block. Dated strength notes keep last month’s circuit from replacing tonight’s Edmonton plan.
Class context
Plan checks
A separate reading lane for session plans that can change after a technique clinic or a new strength cycle is posted. Read the date first, then trust the drill list. Mara Jensen stamps the review date so members can trust the board before they train.
