What Does a Class Consist Of?
Each class runs for 1 hour and generally follows this format:
10 Minutes: A warmup drill or series of warmup drills to get the body moving.
25 Minutes: Learning new techniques and drilling with a partner.
25 Minutes: Open rolling (sparring).
If you are new to the sport we will pair you up with an experienced practitioner to guide you.
Open rolling is at the participants discretion and watching your first few classes is completely normal.
