Spring Semester Schedule

Hey Folks, the new schedule is out:

We will be practicing in Mann Hall Gymnasium during the Spring
Wednesday and Thursday Evenings from 6-8pm
Saturdays from 10am-12noon

Wednesdays will be Gi
Thursdays will be no-gi
Saturdays will be open mat/MMA or Tournament prep

We are hoping to have Roberto come up in January.
There will be a tournament in Boston in March and probably another one in April.

Have a safe and happy holiday season!

Hey folks, thanks again for all those who helped make our third annual tournament a success!

BJJ will continue on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays until the 21st. I know it is exam time, but try and make some time to get those frustrations out on the mat. Some of you will be leaving after the 13th so have a safe and happy holiday.

No doubt we will have a smaller more intimate group for the next two weeks, nonetheless. The itinerary is as follows:

Tuesday - GI class
Thursday - No-GI class
Friday - Open Mat

Those of you not in the dorms, please email me if you are coming on the 14th-21st to work out so I don't end up there by myself (grappling with my own demons, etc..).

We are still having issues with space. We may have the same space over the break and spring semester, but we may have to move some chairs to set up and break down.

We are also looking at Mann Gym again for a Thur/Fri/Sun schedule or a Wed / Fri / Sat Schedule. Please go on the website and post your opinions on the Forum or Blog spot.

Those of you interested in an MMA style work out should ask Santa for a pair of Grappling or MMA gloves. The club will be buying focus mits/pads, but not gloves for folks. I will also place an order from Asian World of Martial Arts in January if people want to save on shipping.

Thanks and I'll see you on the Mat!
