We are extremely excited to send out this email to all of you. First and foremost, we would like to thank all of you from the very bottom of our hearts for your continued support through these difficult times, it is a real testament to the strength of our community that we are so lucky to be a part of.Having the opportunity to re-open is a blessing. During the pandemic, many businesses have been forced to close permanently. Although hard times are not behind us, you can be sure that we will continue to work hard to adapt and overcome whatever the challenges come our way.One positive outcome of our school closure has been the evolution of our virtual class curriculum. We are happy to announce that we will continue to offer our virtual classes using the Zoom platform for students that are out of town or just simply cannot make it to the school for one reason or another. Due to all the positive feedback from you, in person classes will be streamed on the Zoom platform.Our goal is and has always been to create a healthy and safe environment for our students as well as our community. With our re-opening, we will follow the guidance of federal and local officials.Space and class capacity: During the “Hunker Down Mandate”, we have been busy working on the school’s expansion…… we completed our renovation and added over 3000 sqft to our footprint, creating the “ABJJ STRIKING CENTER”.
