I’m very excited to host my good friend, Brian McLaughlin for a special No Gi seminar next week. Those who have trained with Brian know that not only is he incredibly skilled on the mat, but also a very passionate teacher with a lot to offer, especially in the very popular no gi and mma side of things. The seminar will be on Sunday, December 15h from 12:00 – 2:30 PM. In the meantime, check out his tournament highlight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaIQ6_dDW5I
This weekend we made some renovations to the training room and got rid of our iconic broken mirrors. Although the mirrors had it’s benefits, they weren’t practical for a grappling school. Big thank you to all of the students who volunteered their time this weekend to get it done.
I’d like to take a minute and welcome Stefano Recupero, Jackson Rosendahl and Mark Rosendahl to the team. Stefano joins our adult program and Jackson & Mark joins our youngest group, the future champs. Looking forward to seeing them develop along with the other students currently in our program.
Kids Program: Congratulations to Adrian Aguirre (4th stripe white) and Jayson Gagliostro (1st stripe gray white) ) on their promotions this week in class.
