Our wonderful yoga instructor Daniela is going on yoga sabbatical to India until March. Until she returns, we will not be holding bi-weekly yoga classes. Instead we will be offering a Stretch class on Fridays from 12-1pm. The Stretch class will focus on building flexibility and strength that relates directly to martial arts. We wish Daniela the very best on her yoga trip and we hope to see you on Fridays for our new, super awesome stretch class!!!

Marcelo Garcia is now offering a ground breaking online training program. The product is really incredible, the depth of instruction and inclusion of training footage make this the most potent training supplement I have come across. As a special deal for Kaijin Martial Arts / West Cliff Jiu Jitsu Club students, if you sign up for one year in advance (or after 12 months of monthly payment) you get a week of free training at Marcelo’s New York Academy (believe me, it is AWESOME). To get this deal enter the promo code    WCJJC

Watch Marcelo evolve his cutting edge arsenal, while he teaches and rolls every night. Each lesson and sparring session is broken down into multiple sub-themes, all interconnected in a growing database, allowing for navigation back and forth between theory and practice.

This revolutionary online BJJ and Submission Grappling training program is designed by 8-time National Chess Champion, 2-time Tai Chi Push Hands World Champion, BJJ brown belt, and author of The Art of Learning, Josh Waitzkin.

The vast majority of great grapplers talk about the parallels between BJJ and chess–now you can combine full access to the laboratory of the greatest grappler on the planet with the no-nonsense tools of elite chess training for just $25/month!

You can cruise around and watch some videos for free before signing up, so check it out—there is already a ton of incredible footage up, and new material will be uploaded nightly.
