Every class is special, but today was X-tra special.

We had the Project X-Guard team down at the Academy to get some training in and pick up a donation in support of the work they are doing in our martial arts community.

We believe strongly in their mission to make Brazilian Jiu Jitsu accessible to at-risk and underprivileged youth, using martial arts as a tool to build confidence, discipline, resilience and a stronger future.

Thank you to the Project X-Guard team for coming down to train with us and for the work you continue to do.

We still have boxes out if anyone is interested in donating their used gi/shorts/rashguards/belts.
