Attention GB O’Fallon/Lake St. Louis students and parents! We hope you had a very Merry Christmas!  We sent an email earlier this month regarding some big and exciting changes coming to our schedule, and this email/newsletter will confirm all of the details! All of these changes are set to take effect on Monday, January 3rd, 2022!

1. Our Little Champions 2 class (LC2 ages 7-9) is the largest class size we have, so we will be adding TWO MORE classes for this age group throughout the week. They will be 4:30-5:15 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays! This does not change any of the other classes on the schedule, they are just additional classes. This means that there will be back to back LC2 classes on Mondays and Wednesdays. There are quite a few parents that can only make the normal 5:30 time slot, so we ask, IF you can make the new 4:30 class, that you please do so. This will spread out the class sizes and allow our instructors to focus more on each individual student for safer and more efficient classes!

2. Friday nights are getting a makeover! For the kids, there will be a new Kids NO GI Jiu Jitsu class for ages 7-12 from 4:30-5:15 PM! (There will still be Kids MMA for ages 7+ at 4:30 PM as usual). No changes to 5:30 PM, as it will still be an all sparring class for kids ages 7-12! For the adults, on Fridays at 6:30 PM, there will be two options: for white belts 3 stripes and up, there will be a brand new open mat! This will allow you who are more experienced to drill, spar, and work on specific parts of your game! The other option will be an Adult Fundamentals Gi Jiu Jitsu class for all levels from 6:30-7:30 PM. This means there will be no more adult/teen No Gi class on Friday nights, but don’t worry, we have you No Gi-lovers in mind! See number 3!

3. We are adding two brand new Adult/Teen No Gi Jiu Jitsu classes on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 7:30-8:30 PM!

4. There will be a brand new Women’s Only Jiu Jitsu class held at 7 AM on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays! The class will be from 7-8 AM taught by either Coach Vivian or Coach Alyssa depending on the day!

5. There will be a brand new Kids Ambassador Jiu Jitsu class for kids students who are willing to go the extra mile, work hard, stay focused, and be challenged. In order to participate in this class, there will be a tryout to test physical and technical ability, and the class will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30-7 PM. Teen Jiu Jitsu on Tuesday and Thursday Nights will be 5:30pm-6:30pm. 

• Please email [email protected] if you have any questions about the new schedule, and we are so excited to see everyone back on the mats in January!
