Dear Students / Parents of Students,

I would like to remind everyone that due to our belt promotion and 20th anniversary celebration ceremony, the academy will be CLOSED on SATURDAY OCTOBER 7TH. I would like to remind all of our students that this promotion is a very special one, as we will also be celebrating 20 years since the opening of the first Charles Gracie Academy here in the United States. I hope that all of you will be able to set this special date aside on your calendars and participate in this very special ceremony.

We will be celebrating our 20th anniversary during each promotion time. We would greatly appreciate having all of our students present for their correct age groups as we would certainly not have experienced this level of success without all of your continued support. A milestone of this magnitude is something that only comes around once in a lifetime and I would not want to spend it any other way than with our students on the mat!

The ceremony will be held at our headquarters academy in Tracy located at                      1005 E. Pescadero Ave. Tracy, CA 95304. I will list the times below, please keep in mind that regardless of you and/or your child being promoted or not, everyone is highly encouraged to attend. We hope that you will all join us in celebrating this very special day for our Jiu-Jitsu Family!

Make sure you and/or your child have the GI on and clean at the ceremony!
