December News Letter + Curriculum

December Curriculum

JUDO! We're going to spend most of the month on standup grappling skills with basic judo techniques. Bring your notebooks because we'll be studying the Japanese names. As with all standup grappling in our sport, the techniques borrowed from judo and wrestling are modified for use in BJJ.

Winter Break

GRA will be closed the last week in December, Monday 12/23 - Saturday 12/28. There are a few die-hards who will be training at the academy independently (adults only). Reach out to me if you're interested in joining them and I can keep you in the loop. We will open again with our regular class schedule starting Monday 12/30.

Jiu Jitsu in the Park II

Last month we met for Saturday open mat at Delucchi Park in Pleasanton and it was a blast. Rolling in the crisp winter air with the bustle of the nearby farmers market is a unique experience. Weather permitting, we're going to do it again this month. We'll plan on meeting Saturday 12/14 at 10am (with Saturday 12/21 as a back up). All ages welcome. More details to follow!

UPDATE: Due to incoming weather, Jiu Jitsu in the Park will be postponed until Saturday 12/21.
