Sparring and Drilling Sessions: These sessions allow you to implement the techniques and strategies covered in previous classes within a sparring/live training context (called 'rolling' in BJJ). You may also choose to 'drill' techniques during this time, practicing a technique in a slow, controlled, and focused manner to enhance the technical details, timing, and conditioning of a move.

Open Mat: A timer will be run, so you can come down to do some drilling, sparring, or just to hang out.For private class availability, please contact us.
