Big changes are coming to Boston BJJ! We have been informed that our current building is being sold, and we will be moving to a new location very soon. The middle of a pandemic is not an ideal time for such a big change, but we plan to make the most of it. We have been working for some time to find just the right location to be our new home. We have narrowed it down to a couple of promising options near our current location. When details are finalized we will announce the new address.
WHEN IS EVERYTHING HAPPENING?
We wanted to give everyone an idea of the expected time frame as best we know it. Once the final lease is signed we will have a more exact idea. The current location will close near the end of October, which is coming up soon! We will announce the exact final date for training in a few days. Right now it looks most likely that we will be closed for the month of November and will resume training in the new space in December.
HOW WILL MEMBERSHIPS WORK?
If you have a currently active membership, we will put your payments on suspension during the month that we are closed and will resume automatically when we reopen at the new space.
HOW CAN WE SUPPORT THE ACADEMY?
This has been a tough year for the academy as for many businesses, individuals, and families everywhere. Moving is a challenge at any time, but this year even more so.
So many of our members have done so much already this year to support us! You have truly gone above and beyond the call of duty, and the academy has stayed strong because of all of you who have supported, encouraged and kept us going. We are deeply aware of and grateful for this.
Even after all of that, a number of you have reached out to ask about how you can support us further through the move. If anyone would like to maintain a membership payment or partial payment during the month we are shut down for the move, the academy will continue to have some expenses and any revenue is helpful. Just let us know if this is something you wish to and can comfortably do.
The most important thing, though, is to keep active during the month of shutdown and be ready to jump back into training with us as soon as the new space is open!
WHAT ABOUT KIDS CLASSES?
We have had delays in resuming kids classes as originally planned in mid-September due to being notified about upcoming sale of the building. It has taken time to make all the necessary arrangements. Once the move is complete we expect to be able to restart Jiu-Jitsu training for kids right away!
Thanks again for everyone’s support! Stay tuned for more updates!
