⚪ FIRST STRIPE FOR KYLE GENE ⚪
Work had Kyle out of town on promotion night, but you don't miss what you've earned. When he got back to the mats on Tuesday, we made it official with his first stripe. Congrats, Kyle, and welcome home! 💪

🔵 Little Dylan: BLUE BELT
⚪ Melz: first stripe
⚪ Heath: doubled up with TWO stripes

Every stripe and every belt here was earned through hard rounds and showing up when it would've been easier not to. Proud of every one of you. The giants keep growing. 💪

Hey everyone!

We’ve been hearing a ton of interest in no-gi grappling. From competitors and those who just prefer it. So we’re making it official!

Starting Thursday, October 15, every Thursday is officially No-Gi Night at Jotunheim!

To keep everyone safe and comfortable, we’re asking all members to purchase a rash guard. Here’s why they’re a game-changer:

• Skin Protection – No more mat burns or scrapes
• Hygiene & Infection Prevention – Helps keep ringworm and staph at bay
• Moisture Management – Wicks sweat so you stay lighter and drier
• Safety & Mobility – Stays put and lets you move freely (no loose shirts getting grabbed)

We at JGC believe in the freedom to pick what you want to wear to practice. That said, there are a lot of crazy rash guards out there. We do our best to keep the gym family friendly, and we ask you to do the same by keeping it appropriate.

Got questions? Hit up Dylan at 218-308-3182.

We’re pumped for this change and can’t wait to see you all on the mats. Let’s go!
