Adriano Lucio (6th degree black belt) continues his teaching today with No-Gi at 11:30 AM. Drop in, and bring a friend!

If you are not a member of the Academy of Pensacola, we invite you to visit absolutely free for a trial class today. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is an enjoyable way to get in shape, and learn practical self-defense at the same time. Plus, look at this guy—how could you pass up such an opportunity 😉

I'm excited to share that Adriano will be doing a spontaneous-surprise-extra-super-bonus class tomorrow at 11:30 AM. So pick out your most elegant gi, and come in for a mid-day session with the man who helped bring BJJ to Pensacola in the first place. Bring a friend; tell them you're buying lunch. We have loaner gis available 😉

No kickboxing class this Saturday (October 25th) as coach Paul and students will be participating in a Muay Thai and Kickboxing tournament in Mobile, AL.

Kickboxing classes will pick up on their regular schedule Monday (October 27th) evening at 8:00 PM, followed by Tuesday (October 28th) morning at 8:00 AM. If you are a member of the Academy, these classes are included in your membership—drop in and learn to "sweep the leg" 😉

We are incredible proud of those participating! If you'd like to attend as a spectator and cheer-on your teammates, information for the event is available below.
