In order to accommodate growth in our classes, we are expanding our schedule. This will give more class options for current and future students! We are excited about the potential of this new schedule! PRINTABLE SCHEDULE HOW DOES THIS WORK

Monday and Tuesday are the “A Days” or the “curriculum” days when we work on the skills by belt level. Monday and Tuesday classes will be the SAME curriculum. Every student, regardless of which program they are in will chose ONE Curriculum day. Wednesday and Thursday are the “B Days” or the “program days.” All ranks are combined, but students are separated by program. Students will chose ONE Program Day according to their training program … Basic Program, Black Belt Club or Masters Club. All programs will get the combatives and striking parts of the curriculum on the B days. The upgrade program members (BBC or MC) will ALSO get whatever the “theme” is for the current cycle. (Themes include sword, nunchucks, bo staff, and BJJ.) Friday and Saturday are the “C Days” or the “Specialty” days. This is when the Black Belt Club and Masters Club members get their “extra” training classes. (BBC members get 1 extra class. MC members get unlimited extra classes … and their Hyper Fight Club attendance is waived.”

HAMPTON STUDENTS - NOTE We only offer the “specialty” day for you on FRIDAY. However, the BBC class on Tuesday is also one of the EXTRA or “specialty” days, so you can get your extra class in on Tuesday or save it until Friday. IF you want more information about upgrading your current membership program and we haven’t already reached out to you, feel free to message Mrs. Woods through the app.
