Ancona's Martial Arts in Metairie

May 7, 2009
(PRESS RELEASE) -- Dear Friends, Fighters, and Fellow Martial Artists:

My name is Eric Ducote, and I am working with Joe at Ancona's Martial Arts in Metairie. We finally got our insurance check, and we have been working hard to fix up the gym. We have completely remodeled the Jiu Jitsu/MMA gym, with all new pads on the floors and on the walls, perfect for sparring and grappling. We are opening up a smoothie bar right inbetween our two gyms (in the same building), and the place is looking great. If you haven't been here in a while, you should come check us out!

We are in the process of working out a summer program with special pricing for students who are interested in training over the summer. We offer classes for students all ages, 7 and up. Call us at (504)888-6451, or come into the gym for more information.

I am also proud to say that we have joined with an Affiliate School on the West Bank of the city to co-promote these cage fights. That school being Power MMA on Terry Parkway.

Our Mission Statement is to provide the city of New Orleans and its surrounding metropolitan areas with the finest instruction in Realty Based Martial Arts and also to produce the finest Mixed Martial Arts events in the area.

The next event will be held at The Landmark Hotel on Saturday, July 18th on Severn in Metairie. Twelve fights will be scheduled for that night. Fighters from all over the south will be competing for championship belts this night. Myron Gaudet, Karl Mottet, Louis Charron, and Collin Murray are all instructing at the gym with us now. And together, we plan on producing many future champions from our gym.

General Admission is $25 at the DOOR and $20 in ADVANCE. You can call for more ticket info or email us anconasgym@aol.com to place order your ticket.

I invite all of you to call us at 504-888-6451 or come by 3210 North Arnoult in Metaire across Severn from Lakeside Mall and say hello or visit us on the web at www.MMANewOrleans.com or e-mail me at AnconasGym@aol.com.
