October 2026

Hello everyone,

Few things this month...

1- We are closed October 11th, 12th, and 24th for all classes.

2- If you wish to observe the tournament on the 24th, information can be found here: https://smoothcomp.com/en/event/34284

3- We are having an inhouse tournament with modified rules in November.  I have changed the dates since first sending the email out.  The updated information and to register is here: https://www.reginabjj.com/tournament

4- I wrote a blog post last night about how I view the merit of competition and arrived at no longer recommending the IBJJF format for kids.  Should that interest you, you can read it at https://www.reginabjj.com/blog

5- Recovery.  Jiu-Jitsu and sitting is hard on the body, and stretching either is not a routine or we feel that we can't make time for it. I have been seeing Jordan about once every 4-6 weeks, and it has made a difference in my body.  The treatment is expensive ($150 for an hour), but I would recommend checking him out at least once.  I am not being incentivized in any way to promote his business.  https://projectenergy.ca/

We are off to a great start this fall, and I thank you for your continued support.

Hope you all have a great month ahead.
