Q1 Grading Day!

Sunday, January 8th, 2012

We are really excited here at Wrecking Ball to start the new year with an awesome team and to welcome all the new members who have recently joined. And we are also really looking forward to our first grading day of 2012 here at Wrecking Ball. We are rescheduling the Q1 grading day to January 28, 2012… so mark your calendars! This is a great opportunity for all members to support your teammates who have worked hard to earn their next belt promotion in Jiu Jitsu and to cheer on our Muay Thai team members who will be testing for Blue Level. All members are welcome to attend and watch! We will post the list of members who will have to opportunity to test for their bjj belts on Monday, January 9, 2012, and we will post the Muay Thai testing list by January 13. So keep an eye out for them!

As a reminder, the list will include both kids and adults for jiu jitsu, and only adults for Muay Thai at this time. We will also be awarding belts aligned with the new IBJJF guidelines for kids! If you are interested in learning more about the new belt system, we have some printouts (thanks to Marcelo!) on the front desk. If you are eligible to test, please see Patti at the front desk to sign up and pay the testing fee. Members will only be scheduled once their testing fees have been paid. All fees are due by Wednesday, January 25th in order to participate in the Q1 testing. We will share an agenda on Thursday, January 26th.

Please feel free to speak to your coaches if you have any questions on the tests. Good luck and congratulations to all the members who have worked hard to be eligible for Q1 Grading!
