Holiday Schedule 2008

Because many people will going away for Thanksgiving, we are altering the schedule slightly this week.

Monday: practice will be as usual.

Tuesday: J will not be in class. If Juan is available we will keep it open as a regular session. In the even that Juan can't make it, please treat it as an open mat, or a day of recovery, everyone has been working very hard.

Wednesday: No Class as usual.

Thursday and Friday we will obviously be closed to celebrate the pilgrims tricking the natives into giving them all their food.


Additionally, there will be testing in December for promotions.


Those eligible for a stripe/belt test in December are as follows:
Aaron
Jason
Pete (both)
Tom
Jody
Drew

December 4th is the tentative date.

NAGA New Jersey 2008

This weekend Capitol Combat Sports' Sijara Eubanks trekked up to New Jersey for the North American Grapplers Association tournament. Although she was the only one from CCS competing that day, she laid down the law, won all her matches and came back with two gold medals. Sijara won first place in the women's white belt divisions in both gi and no-gi. Congratulations, Sijara.

CCS Merchandise

Hey Guys, just a quick note. I ordered school patches for the uniforms and they should get here in a couple of weeks. They look like the logo on this blog. I wanted to get them in before the next tournament.

Also, I found a place that will give us wholesale pricing on Gis. I ordered a few to start out and we'll see how it goes. I ordered single weave gis to give new students something they could start out with without spending an arm and a leg (and also because the place that would wholesale double weave gis to us wanted a large order). If this goes well, we'll try to keep some in stock so that when you guys need another one you can order it directly through the school which will help keep our dues down. If anyone needs another gi, let me know. They should be here in a few days.

And finally, people have been asking about ordering another round of CCS shirts with the school logo. We hope to get some new shirts or hoodies in soon. Last time we sold out, so this time please pre-pay so that we are sure we'll order enough for everyone that wants one.
