Exciting Changes to Our Kids Program!

Starting September 6, we’re making a small change that will have a big impact!

To better match instruction with each child’s age and development, our Kids classes will now be divided into age groups.

📅 New Schedule:

Sundays | 9:00–10:00 AM
Ages 4–7

Mondays | 5:30–6:30 PM
Ages 7–11

Wednesdays | 5:30–6:30 PM
Mixed Class (Ages 4–11)

This will allow our younger athletes to build confidence with age-appropriate instruction while giving our older kids more opportunities to develop their skills alongside their peers.

We can’t wait to see everyone on the mats this fall! 🥋

As long as I can read the board, we’re good 😅

This week’s plan includes some passing to start, then branches into side control. From there we’ll be focusing on the left branch, half guard concepts this week. Next week we’ll warm up with those concepts and work on the knee-on-belly, mount, and high mount branch.

Interested in this style of sequencing? Come try a class! Booking link is in our profile!

Gi/no-gi schedule from now until end of the year!

Since Alex would never post this himself, I’ll do it for him. 😊

After years of dedication, consistency, and hard work, he officially earned his black belt.

So incredibly proud of everything this represents, not just the belt, but the person he’s become along the way.

Congratulations, Coach Alex! 🖤🥋

Got the chance to reward some folks who’s earned recognition. Cal has been with us for nearly a year now. He’s learned to better manage his emotions on top of the fact that he’s able to defend himself. His parents are very proud of his progress, both physical and emotional.

The second is who’s been training for a long time. They’ve battled some physical speed bumps and are now consistently on the mats. They’ve also been doing a fantastic job with the toddler classes and will soon pick up an additional kids class soon! They help coach a wrestling team and are also sharing the port of wrestling within their community and others. We were supposed to be in the gi, but an impromptu rolling session with a large crew just sort of happened, but the plan was set regardless!

Everyone is progressing and all progress is noticed. Keep up the great work :)

We’ve got an awesome crew of kids right now.

They show up, work hard, support each other, and still manage to have a ton of fun while learning real skills. It’s the kind of energy that makes every class something special.

Got a kid who needs an outlet to move, build confidence, and burn some energy?
Come try a class and join the crew 💥
