Hello Everyone!!!
I am starting this page with the intention to create a local Brizilian Jiu Jitsu community. I want to have a place to go in town to practice this art. What inspired me to start this mat club is my love for the sport and my lack of transportation at the moment. Lol I know we have academy’s around 20min - 30min out side of town , but I know some of us "like myself" are unable to travel for what ever reason and to add on top of the travel restrictions there is work, kids, and if you are like myself you might be attending college. I know from experience to find the time to go roll for an hour or two plus travel time can be really challenging. What I would like to do is just get a bunch of people that have a lot love for this sport, that live local and want to practice the sport (With that being said, any and all people would be welcome to join and attend). We just do not have a place in town to practice this martial art and I would like to change that. I am calling this a mat club because this would be for people with some experience in the sport, if you are looking to start learning this martial art I encourage everyone to join a legit academy! I am a blue belt and in No way a teacher, the most I would be qualified to teach someone is some basics. Now with that being said if you have no experience and you live locally and want to join I would not turn you away I want anyone and everyone to join. I just don’t want to make any false claims or give anyone misinformation. This mat club would be treated like an open mat night at an academy. We could have some live rolling, if anyone would want to run drills or practice a new technique you would be able to, even practice some throws/take downs, there would be no real structure, but I am down for anything and who knows what this could turn in to. I was not able to put a address down because there is not an official place for this mat club to meet. I have talked to the salvation army down town, they rent out there gym for $35 dollars an hour, I have mats, enough that 4 people could comfortably roll on at a time and I am looking to buy more and if anyone has any mats, they would be welcome to bring them the more mats the better!!!! Also if any one has a place in mind that would be better then the salvation army feel free to suggest, like I said I would like to build a community and I know I can not start this myself, anyone interest please like, share, comment, and message me and let’s get this started ASAP!!!
P.S. Gi and No Gi would be practiced and all wrestlers are welcome like I said above I would love to practice throws and take downs
