Clint has cancelled all classes for this weekend, July 3, 4, and 5.
Is it just me, or does it seem a shame that we don’t have training on Monday nights? I’m thinking about it. I don’t know exactly what we can do, but there are always options. Before I go too far though, I want to make sure people are interested. It would be gi training and I have two basic questions: Would you show up on a regular basis? Would you pay a one dollar mat fee for it?
If you’re interested, send me a note: charles@grbjj.com.
Charles Franklin earned his first full belt promotion Friday, June 16th, when Clint awarded Charles his yellow belt. Coincidently, he received his red belt in Tae Kwondo from Chan’s Martial Arts only a day before. In addition, to his martial arts training, he has also been taking Saturday morning take-down class where he has developed addition skills.
Charles will soon begin additional training with private lessons with Chris Crampton to work on his submission skills. Charles has expressed a desire to compete again and we hope that he will be ready by fall to compete in submission class. Charles wants to thanks everyone for all of the hard work that they have put in training him and looks forward to getting back into it after a short vacation break.
