Sunday Sparring
In Preparation for Seasons Beatings

There is a chill in the air and a fire in our hearts. This can mean only one thing, Seasons Beatings is fast approaching! Let's start our preparations early this year. If you have the means, please pick up some boxing gloves ( 12oz and up) and headgear. We will start Sunday's class with some light sparring in preparation for our annual beatdown.

Seminar with Miyuu - This time with Miyuu!
Sunday November 8th at 8:30.

There is not much I can say about Miyuu that has not already been said. A quick google or youtube search will bring up her long list of accomplishments, included 3 world championships! As a martial artist it is always a pleasure to learn technique and never have to question if it is "right" or if there is a more efficient method. Training with Miyuu allows the BJJ student to quickly learn absolutely solid fundamental wrestling takedowns. If you feel uncomfortable starting matches in the standing position, these seminars are not to be missed!

This month's focus - Drills!

For the month of November we will be focusing on basic BJJ drills. Although drills are certainly exhausting, they help lay the foundation for successful BJJ practices. Please feel free to suggest a particular position/submission/escape/sweep, we will do our best to drill from your recommendations.

Upcoming tournaments:

Another Grapping Industries tournament will be held on November 22nd. Please help our competitors Ben Pumpkin, Ben Kenobi, Chris, and Evan prepare by bringing your "A" game when rolling with them. Registration
