We trust everyone is taking advantage of the last few days of holidays (for those who haven’t already returned to work). We have an action-packed 2024 planned. To help make everyone’s life a bit easier and to prepare accordingly so you don’t miss out on any events. We present our 2024 events calendar filled with gradings, competitions, seminars, and more. Not everything is foreseeable and some things might change as the year progresses, but fear not; we will update the calendar as that happens. 

We hope you have been enjoying your holidays and feel rested and excited for the new year. We bet you are itching to get back onto the mats, as we are excited to have you back. While you have been resting, we have been working on an updated schedule which we feel will fit all our needs better .The full schedule is below, however, here is a quick look at what has changed.

The December holidays are coming, and while many of our tribe members are away, there are many of you still in town and want to keep training and learning.

However, there will be a fundamentals Kids BJJ Class now almost daily at 4:30pm-5:30pm followed by an adults 4:30-5:30pm fundamentals BJJ class. 

It is our favourite time of the year again. When several of our Tribe members will face the darkness of +-3 hours of rolling in their death rolls and emerge out the other side. A new person with their new coloured belt.
