Inside BJJ Academy

We made little changes on the timetable regarding the morning classes:

From today (Monday-May 21st) morning classes are at 10am (every Monday-Wednesday-Friday)

Once again we are working together with our students to improve our timetable and training sessions. The aim is to make things even better for those who live far from the gym. Now they can put together two sessions (10am and 12pm) and make the most of it. At least 3 hours of pure BJJ training!
