Dear Community,
As you may be aware, Governor Northam has issued a closure of all non-essential businesses in Virginia, and a Stay at Home order lasting until June 10, due to the pandemic.
CvilleBJJ Temporary closure time frame:
Saturday, March 14 – Wednesday, July 1
Until further notice, this is the time frame in which we will be closed. This situation is fluid and the closure may be further extended.
Stay connected with us!
Charlottesville Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Group – Request an add if you aren’t a member already!
Our Charlottesville Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Facebook group already has videos to support your solo training at home. We will continue to provide content throughout the closure period and we encourage you to share content you find useful with the community. We would like to hear your ideas about how we could use the group to support you while you train at home (workouts, solo drills, partner drills, grappling dummy drills, balance challenges, rehab exercises).
Some of these videos will include drills parents can do with their kids and juniors to keep them active and engaged while home from school. We will also be putting out a few jiu-jitsu specific conditioning workouts that you can follow along to in your living room. Hopefully this will help you stay connected with your gym and the community as well as keeping you progressing in martial arts.
If you aren’t on Facebook, you can access the archive of videos here!
Participating in Live Classes
We will be having live classes, shared over Zoom, on Tuesdays at noon each week. We will be providing material for white belts looking to keep working on the blue belt requirements as well as more advanced material that is requested. This will be a great time to be interactive again! You can join the virtual classes by clicking here. If you haven’t used Zoom before you will be prompted to install their software, which should take just a few minutes. If you’re unable to participate live but have any techniques, questions, or details you’d like us to go over and watch later, please send them in! Live classes will be recorded and shared to the Facebook group and Google Drive for later viewing.
Your Membership payment during and after quarantine
All courses, student, and trial memberships will be paused while we are closed. All 3-month Kids and Juniors memberships will be paused. Punchcard memberships will have their expiration dates extended. If you have questions regarding these memberships, please contact Jamie, our Membership Manager (jamie@cvillebjj.com).
Our month-to-month and contract memberships have a choice. We are happy to place your membership on hold for the duration of the closure as we understand that many are experiencing financial hardships. We deeply appreciate anyone who is able to continue membership payments throughout the closure. For those of you who have already reached out to let us know we may continue billing, our gratitude knows no bounds. We look forward to reopening once it is safe to do so; your generosity helps make this possible. Please let Jamie (jamie@cvillebjj.com) know which option (hold or continued billing) works for you at this time.
We truly miss everyone and hope y’all are doing well.
We are resilient and will return to our regular training soon.
Stay safe,
– Gordon and your Charlottesville BJJ family
