VT BJJ TRAINING CONDITIONS, GUIDELINES and CLASSES SCHEDULE (please read)
After receiving a myriad of emails and phone calls from Jiu-Jitsu practitioners from MA, NY, CT, VA and NH; I would like to stress the #1 Condition and Guideline set forth below by the VT Dept of Health State Outdoor Recreation Businesses, Facilities and Organizations:
“BJJ Training and Conditioning Classes is only open to Vermonters and those who have met the 14-day quarantine requirement. Out of state visitors need to wait a 14 days-period before joining our programs”.
Patience and Discipline!
VT BJJ Conditioning and the “Training Dummy” Classes
BJJ Conditioning (Calisthenics; "Ginastica Natural"; Boxing/Kickboxing Drills & Skills; Takedowns Drills and Burpees; Flexibility Exercises & Cardio-Respiratory Endurance) is a very important part of the BJJ training and the foundation of health and strength! Get strong and confident naturally!
The “Training Dummy”; we practice a lot of Jiu-Jitsu with our training "Dummy"! Chokes, Arm-bars, Guard (Scissors, Open and Closed, etc.); Knee on the Belly; Side-Control; Holding Techniques and coordination drills. How to build your training dummy? You will need the kimono jacket and the belt (upper body part of your kimono); 2 towels and 2 pillows or a Yoga mat. That's all!
Please find below information about our VT BJJ training protocols and temporary classes schedule.
