[12/11/20]   Hello, is anyone else that didn’t come to ju jitsu last week interested in coming tomorrow? We are trying to figure if we need an additional class to the ones already scheduled.

Thank You

[12/01/20]   We are excited to safely open ju jitsu class this Saturday. It will be a mix of ju jitsu and conditioning. The state still mandates no person to person contact so each student will work in individual areas! Because the class is strictly limited to 10 students we will need a list of who all is wanting to participate and then we can separate all into according class times. Please call the dojo at 877-6261 or I prefer text at 505-980-2371 for more info. We will also be offering the class via zoom so if you are interested in that please call or text as well. Thank you all for your patience and support!

Gov. announces limited reopening for dine-in restaurants, indoor malls, gyms, salons and more | Office of the Governor - Michelle Lujan Grisham

Aloha, after further review of the governors executive order and consultation with her staff, traditional classes in the dojo are categorized as group fitness class. Based on these restrictions we are unable to resume normal business hours at this time. We did receive clarification that summer programs are still allowed as long as we stay within the guidelines set forth earlier in the month. The summer camp will start this week. Thank you all for your continued support. We will continue zoom classes.

Aloha, we have been getting a lot of calls inquiring about summer camp. Any jiu jitsu done in camp will be with the students personal practice dummy. Itll be a lot of personal strength, balance and agility training. And karate, weapons, anything they can do on their own in their own space. Since it's limited to a much smaller class they will have a much bigger surface area to themself. As of now there will be no physical contact between students. There is also the option for students to do summer camp via zoom if there is still concern to be in a public setting. As the student is comfortable they can join us in in person classes or do the full 8 week program thru zoom. Also, payment plans are available. Please let us know if you have any more questions.
