Announcements
All youth classes this week are normal.
A few adjustments to adult classes:
a. The women-only classes this week will be open training (non-instructional). The time/space will be allocated for the ladies to come in and review and drill the material they have been working.
b. Friday AM BJJ will be open training
c. No Combatives or Judo on Saturday.
Check the “groupme” app for Friday evening open mat participants. If you are not on the app, see Coach Ted, who can help you get set up.
Some quick hygiene reminders:
a. No bare feet in the bathroom
b. No Shoes on the mat
c. If you step off the mat barefoot, use the foot cleaning stations before you return to the mat.
These measures are in place to help prevent the spread of skin infections (ringworm, Staph, etc). Sharing isn't always caring especially when it comes to skin infections, please help keep the mat clean and sanitary for all.
