Group Fitness Classes
Jiu Jitsu (co-ed)
Tuesdays 6pm-7:30pm and Saturdays 9am-11am in Levering Gym
Taught by: John Peck
For those interested in a practical martial art or those simply looking for a new way to maintain fitness, Jiu-Jitsu provides the perfect opportunity. With the aim of teaching effective combat and self-defense techniques, Jiu-Jitsu has shown itself to be viable in a variety of situations. It also has the added benefits of improving cardio, strength, and flexibility. The classes themselves will consist of warmups, learning techniques (with both demonstrations and applications), and an end-of-class period for controlled practice and the addressing of remaining questions. The movements themselves take place primarily on the padded ground and can be learned by anyone interested, regardless of previous experience, size, or gender (though there will be no co-ed contact).
Start Date – Tuesday, February 6th @6pm

The instructor will provide modifications for exercises so that each person feels comfortable.
