NEW COOS BAY LOCATION OPENS SEPTEMBER 9

Better late than never—the date is set.

Classes begin at our new Coos Bay location Wednesday, September 9.

We will be closed Monday, September 7 for Labor Day and will use the day to finish moving, complete the final setup, and get the academy ready for Wednesday.

The mats, flooring, wall pads, and cage have all arrived. The major pieces are in place, and this week is about putting everything together and preparing the space for classes.

Thank you for your patience throughout the process. We have one more week in the current Coos Bay academy, and then the next chapter begins.

TONIGHT — INTRO MMA WITH COACH TJ

Monday, August 31
7:00–8:00 PM

We wrap up the Summer Intro rotation tonight with Intro MMA with Coach TJ.

This fundamentals class will show how striking and grappling come together in MMA.

No MMA experience is required. Come give it a try and see how the different pieces connect.

FALL SCHEDULE STARTS NEXT WEEK

Our fall schedule takes effect after Labor Day, with Coos Bay classes beginning at the new location on Wednesday, September 9.

Intro Jiu Jitsu and the Wednesday daytime class return in Coos Bay, the Women’s Jiu Jitsu class expands to a full hour, and our Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Kickboxing, and MMA programs continue throughout the week.

Coquille continues its Tuesday and Thursday Jiu Jitsu schedule, with Saturday Kickboxing and the return of Eskrima.

The schedule reflects attendance patterns and the feedback we receive from our students. We will continue watching where people show up and listening to what works, so please speak up if a change would make it easier for you to train consistently.

SUBLEAGUE OREGON OPEN — SEPTEMBER 26

Our Jiu Jitsu competition team is fully in Oregon Open preparation.

The SUBLEAGUE Oregon Open is Saturday, September 26. This weekend marks three weeks to competition day, and the work is already underway.

The next few weeks are about consistent rounds, match starts, takedowns, sharpening our strongest positions, and cleaning up the mistakes that can decide close matches.

If you are competing, make sure the coaches know, show up consistently, and make every remaining training session count.

We had a strong first outing with the C4 Fight Team at Brawl on the Bay. Now it is time for our Jiu Jitsu competitors to prepare for their turn.

Competition remains an option, not a requirement. Whether you are training for the Oregon Open or simply coming in to learn, improve, get in shape, and enjoy being on the mats, there is a place here for you.

MARK YOUR CALENDAR

Monday, September 7 — Closed for Labor Day and the move

Wednesday, September 9 — First classes at the new Coos Bay location

Saturday, September 26 — SUBLEAGUE Oregon Open

September is here, and there is a lot ahead: a new academy, the fall schedule, returning classes, and a team preparing to compete.

One more week in the current Coos Bay space—then we move.

Have a great week, everyone.

See y’all on the mats!
