New semester training times

2011-02-04T10:41:00.005-06:00

Welcome to the spring semester! We start training Monday Feb. 7th noon to 1pm in the Field house. Regular training times will be Mon/Wed/Fri noon to 1pm unless otherwise noted on the schedule outside the Field house doors.

If you haven't already done so, please sign up at Gracie University and watch the intro and first lesson.

Hope to see you there!

Another blue belt

2010-11-17T07:24:00.003-06:00

I attended a Gracie Jiu-Jitsu seminar in Minnesota at Excel Martial Arts with a group of Fox Valley GJJ guys. We represented Wisconsin well! I was able to take my blue belt test with Rener Gracie and passed! It was an honor to receive my blue belt from Rener Gracie!

Training schedule change

2010-11-17T07:22:00.001-06:00

Everyone has been really busy with school and we have less than a month left to the semester!

We're changing training times to Mon/Wed/Fri noon to 1pm to accommodate the few that can make it.

Thanks!

New semester, new students

2010-09-10T12:59:00.002-06:00

We have a bunch of new students this semester and I'm excited about it. Our new training schedule will be mon/tues/friday in the field house (gymnasium) from noon to 1pm. This may change depending on the schedule of the students.

We had a great time talking to new students at the picnic and look forward to some training!

Also, congrats to Adrian L. as last weekend he was awarded his Gracie Jiu-Jitsu blue belt from Chet Schemahorn of LaGrange Jiu-Jitsu! Way to go Adrian!

I hope to see everyone monday for training and hopefully this year I'll do a better job of updating the blog. :)

New turn of events

2009-05-13T12:23:00.003-06:00

We took a turn for the better this week. We're starting the Gracie Combatives program and it looks awesome. We're excited. The techniques are way better and more refined. I can't wait to learn more!

Right now we're training tues/thurs at noon in the Fieldhouse.

Name Change

2008-12-02T10:10:00.006-06:00

The club has voted to change it's name to the "grappling club". Our worry is that not enough students know what Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is, so this name may be intimidating. We also wish to invite anyone with other grappling skills such as Judo or Wrestling into the club, to make us all more well rounded. The more the merrier!

We are a student club of the University of Wisconsin - Fox Valley. Please do not confuse us with the Fox Valley Grappling Club in Appleton.

Back up and rolling!

2008-09-15T12:40:00.004-06:00

The semester has started and we have 4 students training now. Our new schedule is Mon/Fri 12-1pm, but we're looking to add more times to get more live rolling in.

Break

2008-08-23T14:43:00.001-06:00

We're taking a break from training until the new semester starts. See you then!

The equipment has arrived

2007-12-03T11:03:00.000-06:00

The mats, mat cart, uniforms, timer and cleaning supplies have arrived! Please thank the members of the Student Association for approving our requests and making this club a reality.

I'll send out emails to current club members to see if we can come up with some regular training times. I'm excited to get things rolling.

Thanks!

Funding approved!

2007-11-14T08:39:00.000-06:00

I received word from SA that our funding request has been approved. We're getting mats, uniforms and all the supplies we need to start our club! That's good news. I'm thankful that SA was able to see the benefit this club will be to the campus. Thanks!

Now it's time to place some orders and work out some training times. :)

Startup Funds

2007-04-17T09:24:00.000-06:00

I've filed the proper paperwork with the Student Assocation requesting funding for mats, uniforms, cleaning equipment and a digital timer. Keep your fingers crossed!

The Beginning

2007-04-05T09:43:00.000-06:00

The first club meeting has been scheduled for Thursday April 19th at noon in room 1706! This is an informational meeting to discuss how we want this club to function. Hope to see everyone there!
