Team:

Don't forget that this Wednesday, Sept. 2 at 7:45 p.m. begins our first weekly class dedicated exclusively to the blue belt curriculum. Although designed for beginners, all are welcome to attend and contribute to the overall success of helping our newer students build a solid foundation in Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.

The addition of the Wednesday class expands our schedule of instructional offerings. We also offer weeknight classes on Monday and Thursday at 7:45 p.m., and two classes on Saturday; a children's class at 11:15 a.m. and an adult's class at 12:15 p.m. Of course, open mat is on Sunday depending on keyholder availability.

There's much more to come, too. Our Academy is rapidly growing and we appreciate your continued support.

See you all on the mat!

Thanks to our good friend and fellow Professor Pedro Sauer affiliate Eric Meyers for bringing this footage to our attention. I think it pretty much speaks for itself.

Incredible.

Enjoy.

As our Academy has grown, so has this blog. We've averaged about 20 posts a month going back more than one year ago. We try to keep things informative, educational, fun, and respectful...a direct reflection of our community at Spencer County Martial Arts.

Below is a slideshow of tonight's class -- our largest on record. Thank you for making us who we are.

Our very own Craig Conard trained recently at The Gracie Academy in Torrance, California with Rorion Gracie's sons. Pictured below is Craig with Rener Gracie, after a combatives class Monday night.

In addition, Brian Phillips is in San Francisco this week for a work conference and trained at a Carley Gracie Academy downtown.

More pics of both sessions are to come.

When you travel abroad, always bring your jiu-jitsu gear! You never know when a good opportunity to learn and expand your knowledge might present itself. Always be open to new experiences and different flavors, especially if they're in line with the Gracie lineage.

See you all on the mat -- tomorrow night!
