In the continuing quest for enjoyable and wholesome foods to fuel our pursuit of physical, spiritual, mental and social well-being I found a sweet and spicy chicken dish that’s packed with protein, vitamins and nutrients. My post-training meal last night was quick, simple and delicious. Try it out:


1 lbs. Boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into cubes

1 lbs. Broccoli Florets

2 large scallions

3 tangerines

¼ cup Soy Sauce

2 tsp. Sriracha

2 TBS. Honey

2 TBS. Rice Vinegar

1 TBS Canola Oil

2 tsp. Sesame Oil

1 TBS Corn Starch


Cook cubed chicken and diced scallions in large skillet or wok with canola and sesame oil. Steam broccoli 3 to 5 minutes.

Whisk remaining liquid ingredients and the juice from one tangerine together with corn starch in a bowl for sauce.

Toss broccoli in with cooked chicken. Add sauce. Toss in segments from remaining tangerines. Heat just until sauce thickens.

Serve alone or with a side of rice or quinoa.

Modern Martial arts and Family Fitness Center opens a new facility in the coming weeks. The center offers Jiu Jitsu, Kickboxing and Self-Defense.

One thing that sets MMAFFC apart from other schools in the area is a focus on instruction for women. Realizing that there are women who are interested in experiencing Jiu Jitsu or Kickboxing but who prefer to do so in smaller groups just for them, we have created classes just for them.

What is it that women can expect from MMAFFC? First and foremost, any physical exercise can be a tremendous stress reliever and confidence builder. Martial Arts training builds on the exhilaration of working out by providing useful self-defense skills to empower you in ways other exercise just doesn’t.

Other reasons you’ll love training at MMAFFC:

Kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu are both known to burn as much as 1,000 calories per training session

Our classes help you get stronger and build your endurance

You’ll be welcomed as a member of the family and not just a client

Martial Arts training breaks up the monotony of your exercise routine

MMAFFC widens your social circle and introduces you to people who will quickly become friends

Your whole family can find fun and fitness at MMAFFC

Testimonials


A.G. says, “Don and Kim both have such passion for this! It was awesome watching my kid get into something that thoroughly excited him. He practices moves every chance he gets. He really enjoys Coach Don.”

T.S. says, "I have trained at many gyms around the world for over 7 years. The instructor here and students demonstrate great competance of Jiu Jitsu compared to other schools' belt levels. Some gyms have relative skill levels that don't reflect their belt color. The blue belts here will contend with other purple belts at alot of the schools that I have trained prior. Can't wait to keep improving with the team and family here."


J. M. says, “Good place to meet fun people and have a good time I would recommend kickboxing and jiu-jitsu to anyone who wants to learn self-defense.”
