Happy Halloween!

Just a reminder that we are running an adjusted schedule tonight.  The lineup is as follows:

• 6pm All Levels Striking
• 7pm Touch Sparring (201+)
• 7:30pm BJJ (gi)

Our 5pm youth class is cancelled today.

We had a great turnout Saturday night for our Kick or Treat 2 Happy Hour!  Although I escaped around 9pm (our fight team trains at 8am on Saturday mornings and I need my sleep), some of you stayed out until the wee hours of the morning!

We raised a couple hundred dollars towards our Tap Cancer Out team fundraiser, putting us over $8,000 raised already!

Humongous thanks to Isis Toledo for taking the lead in organizing and arranging everything!  When complicated events go smooth, there is some real hard work going on behind the scenes.

Winning raffle numbers will be announced tomorrow 🙂 

November looks to be a busy month for us — please take note of the important dates listed below:

• 11/10 – Last Day to pre-register for the Jon Blank NoGi Leglock seminar at $50.  Price increases to $75 on 11/11.  You have been warned!

Enjoy the festivities today and I’ll see you on the mats!

Our Junior Samurai stripe challenge this week is RED.  Students can earn a red stripe by successfully demonstrating four different, unique sweeps before or after class.  Each sweep must be executed technically correct and with strict form.
