2024 detroit seminar!
Thank you for joining MKG Detroit and Boombox Recreational MMA in welcoming Sifu/Guro/Ajarn Rick Faye back to Metro Detroit! We can’t wait to see you.
Please read carefully below for important updates regarding this weekend’s activities!
PARTIAL CHANGE OF VENUE
Saturday’s Kickboxing Block and Sunday’s Kali Weaponry Block held at alternate location near the gym!
PLEASE NOTE! Due to an unprecedented amount of event participants, and the amount of space needed to accommodate everyone safely for Kickboxing and Kali Weaponry, the afternoon Training Blocks on both Saturday 04/13, and Sunday 04/14, will be held outdoors at nearby Harding Park in Ferndale! Harding Park is only 3 blocks from our gym, an easy walking distance for those who wish to not re-park their vehicle. We will be using the south end of the park, on Mapledale St, next to the large parking lot entrance.
HARDING PARK is located near 989 Mapledale St, on Mapledate St. between Burdette St and Wolcott St. in Ferndale.
Coordinates: 42°28'25"N 83°7'38"W
All other training blocks will be held at Boombox Kickboxing & Martial Arts, as originally planned.
Boombox is located at
2871 Hilton Rd, Ferndale MI, 48220
OTHER INFO & FAQ
-
Please carpool if possible! Parking is fairly limited at Boombox. We have 6-7 spots in our lot, as well as access to 4-5 more in the vacant lot directly south of our building. There are several spots directly across Hilton Rd. from our entrance, and ample curbside parking in the neighboring streets beside, behind, and across from the gym. Those attending both morning and afternoon sessions can also consider dropping off gear bags at Boombox, and parking in the large lot at Harding Park only 3 blocks away, where we will be holding our afternoon sessions.
-
Sat lunch break is 1pm-2:30pm. Sun lunch break is 12pm-1pm. Ferndale and nearby Royal Oak are known for their award-winning eateries, with plenty of options for all dietary needs. Those not wishing to re-park their vehicle can also get pre-made sandwiches and pasta salads from Vega Market, the deli and party store located directly across the street.
-
Comfortable Workout Clothes are suitable for all sessions. For the afternoon outdoor sessions, please plan ahead according to weather forecasts. We have a small area at Boombox where indoor mat shoes are allowed. We otherwise prefer to shoes to help maintain the integrity of our mats. For the Kali Block, please bring two sticks and 1-2 training daggers. We also suggest all participants brings a water bottle, snack, and notepad for taking notes. Please no filming during demonstrations.
