Summer 2022 Jiu Jitsu Times

Team Tournament-April

Super proud of all from our team who competed in April’s Grappling Industries tournament. We had 11 team members compete. Your heart, courage, and dedication was inspiring. Here are some pictures from the event.

We are planning our next tournament to attend will be in the fall.

Women’s Self Defense Class Starting July

Starting in July we will start our new Women’s Self Defense Class. This will be Saturday morning at 9am. We will follow the Gracie’s Women Self Defense program with additional items I have learned through years of training and seminars. The class will teach you how to be aware of situations, prevention, and how to defend against male attackers. The cost would be $30 a month or included in the family rate. If you pay the family rate or full rate of $60, you can also attend the adult group classes. We are having more women joining the adult classes and the items we cover in the adult classes, as well as the training will help complement the Women’s Classes. I understand the hesitancy of training with a male. If you do also attend the adult classes, we will put you with another female to train with.

New Family Rate

Our goal is to provide Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to as many as we can in the valley because we feel BJJ provides so many benefits to help strengthen one’s character.

We have had several requests for a family rate, allowing all members of a family to participate in BJJ. Starting in March we will have a new family rate at $175 a month. This will cover all

family members in a household. Looking at an average family size in Star Valley of 5, using our individual rates, the monthly cost would be $290 a month. If we looked at a family of four, the cost would be $230. This is a great deal. While some might think $175 a month is expensive for BJJ, please know that most other BJJ schools charge $150 to $170 a month per person. We do not charge these high costs because we would rather ensure as many can have the opportunity to learn and practice BJJ.

Team Family BBQ

May 20th, 5:30pm, we will have a team BBQ to celebrate the end of school. This will be at my home. All team members and family are invited. I will smoke chicken and have hotdogs. I ask that everyone bring either chips, a salad, or dessert. Sign-ups will be going around the first week of May. We will also have a Jump House for the kids and other games. It will be fun!

BJJ Summertime

Yes! We will be doing Jit Jitsu during the summer. We love practicing Jiu Jitsu year-round! However, we will be taking June 13th-22nd off as we take a family vacation to visit the LDS historical sites across the US. The June calendar will reflect this and have make-up for any missed classes. We will also have regular classes in July and August.
