Best Martial Arts and Combat Sports Classes in Mankato, MN

✨ This week, we're celebrating the amazing Anna! ✨As she graduates, we reflect on her incredible journey at Classic. Her passion and spirit have been a true gift to our gym family. nnFrom Coach Meghan:nAnna has been such a joy to coach! Her infectious energy and light will surely be missed! She is hard-working, determined and we cannot wait to watch her shine as a BluGold next year! nnGet to know Anna:nWhat has been your most challenging moment in gymnastics, and how did you overcome it?nI would say having two major injuries within two years. I tore the same MCL twice- a major ligament in your knee- during their respective summers. They were both devastating injuries and they pushed me to my mental and physical limits. Everyone that helped me through those extremely rough times are the reason I was able to push and make it out on top! nnHow has gymnastics impacted you as a person? nIt has truly shaped me as a human being. Gymnastics has not only taught me how to do cool tricks. But it’s taught me to work through whatever is thrown at you. It most definitely will not be easy but all that matters is how you get yourself through those times and things will fall the way they are supposed to! nnWhat advice would you give to younger gymnasts?nThere is so much to be said, but work through hard times. It definitely feels stressful and scary to keep pushing, but you know yourself the best. Trust yourself and the decisions you make- things will work out. Also do not miss out on the lifelong bonds you make, your teammates and coaches are the most amazing people ever! nnDo you plan to continue gymnastics in college or beyond?nYes, Next year I will be attending UW-Eau Claire, and I will be apart of the team there!nnWhat is your favorite gymnastics event and why?nI’d say beam or bars, it took me a while to feel comfortable on those events, but I put a lot of work into them and now I’m happy to say they feel natural. nnCongrats on everything you’ve accomplished, Anna! Best of luck in your future endeavors!n#SeniorSpotlight #Classof2024 #WeAreProud #WeAreClassic #ClassicGymMN...
