New judo class offered
11 a.m. to noon on Saturdays at the Academy.
Judo is a grappling art based on unarmed combat techniques. The main idea behind Judo is the mechanical method of using the opponent's force to convert an attack into defeat by submission.
The class will combine methods and techniques of throwing with submissions common in jiu jitsu—ultimately created a natural flow between the two arts and sharpening students’ competitiveness. It's taught by Megan B., a sankyu (1st brown belt) in the Kodokan Judo system.
Current newsletter out
The July edition of the Gracie Barra Alaska Monthly is out and available at the Academy. Submit ideas for upcoming articles and profiles to Megan.
Congrats to our newest blue belt!
Congratulations to Jason, our newest blue belt in the adult class. Jason has been with Prof. Ted Stickel for nearly five years and has helped countless MMA fighters with their stand up skills.
