 Hi - Welcome to the latest Jiu Jitsu Calgary Newsletter. February flew by, we’re into March and now the Grading is just around the corner
Our Kids Movie Day proved to be very popular in February, which was great to see. The adults who attended the sparring session also had a most enjoyable session.
We will be holding many more.
I have been organising many special clinics for the adults in the coming months, are having sessions from many specialists from various areas of Martial Arts and related interests such as Judo. Wrestling, Boxing, Knife Defense, Yoga, Kung Fu, Functional Fitness and many more.
There is plenty going on at the club so be sure to keep you eyes on the events listed and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Best Regards
Sensei Malcolm Bale
Kids Classes
The Kids classes are going very well, it’s such a pleasure to see the kids making such progress. I look forward to seeing them perform in the upcoming Grading.
I’m looking to Introduce a couple more class times for Juniors to ensure we can give enough individual attention to students and to ensure we do not get overcrowded in the Dojo.
The intended extra days are Monday (6 - 6:45pm) and Wednesday (6 - 6:45pm). Please let me know if you are interested in having your kids at these times. As you are an existing Member, you will have first choice for switching over to these days.
Monday and Wednesday or Friday and Sunday
We are looking to Introduce another session for Little Samurai for the same reason.
The additional Little Samurai Class will still be on the Sunday but starting at 2pm.
The Spring Semester
Classes for the New Semester will commence the First week of April. There will be no classes on 10th, 11th and 12th April for the Easter Weekend.
The Semester will run through until June 29th.
Victoria Day is Monday 18th May, there will be no training that day only.
Just letting everyone know in plenty of time.
I am considering a change to Adult Classes too and that is keeping classes to an hour long and having an optional half an hour fitness session at the end, just for those who are interested.
Let me know your thoughts.
I am keeping a couple of days Free to allow for future expansion. We have many more hours that are available throughout the day too.
Adult and Kids Gradings
Both Adult and Kids Gradings will be held during the last weekend of March.

Training Clinics
There are many Training Clinics lined up for adult students to attend. These are aimed at being practical and a great benefit to all students.
The next Clinic will be held by a Competitive MMA Instructor. We’ll be covering many drills and training methods recommended to anyone interested in competitive Martial Arts
The next clinic will be held on April 4th at 10am.
Camp of Combat Arts
The Camp of Combat Arts will be held on the 4th and 5th of July. It will be a great weekend of Training. Sessions will be available for Adults and this year we are introducing a Kids Camp too.
It’s a great opportunity to experience other aspects of Martial Arts and to experience Instructors offering an alternative approach.
You have an opportunity to train with 8 Instructors over the weekend.
Classes will be held at Southland Leisure Centre, right here in Calgary.
Kids Movie Day
These classes are organised to give the kids an additional opportunity for fun in the Dojo. This will help to make a better connection for them to keep up their attendance for many years to come.
The Kids Movie Day gives us an opportunity to teach some additional skills, as well as to get them actively involved in some related physical and fun activities.
This is also an opportunity for your kids to bring their Buddies along to join in the Fun.
We would like to keep this as a regular event but obviously, we will only make these activities available, as long as parents are showing an interest in their children attending them.
The next Kids Movie Day will be held on April 4th.
