Hello everyone,

Due to the large event taking place at Madison Square Garden and the significant security measures and street congestion expected in the surrounding area, the academy will be closed on Friday, July 3.

As previously scheduled, we will also be closed on Saturday, July 4, and Sunday, July 5 in observance of the holiday weekend.

At this time, Thursday’s schedule remains unchanged. However, because of the anticipated activity surrounding the Madison Square Garden event, there is a possibility that Thursday evening classes may be affected if security measures or street closures become more disruptive than expected.

If any changes are made to Thursday evening’s schedule, we will send a notification as soon as possible. Please keep an eye on your email and our social media for any last-minute updates.

Thank you for your understanding, and we hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend!

Congratulations to Professor Rafael Costa on winning the Middleweight division at the IBJJF New York Spring Open this past weekend!
