Home-Based Training for the Week of April 6, 2020
We’re offering more live Zoom classes this week, and taking an extra security precaution.
We’ve enabled Zoom’s Waiting Room function. Instructors will admit you into each class. Please check the private student Facebook group for live class links. If you’re not a member, ask an instructor for access.
Non-PBJJ members are welcome to attend our virtual classes. Please email princetonbrazilianjiujitsu@gmail.com for access.
Please take advantage of the opportunity to train in kickboxing! No experience or equipment are required, and the combos are listed below if you’d like to practice before class. This is a great opportunity to learn a new martial art and keep your cardio up.
NEW CLASSES
We’ve added a second kids class on Monday, daytime all-level adult BJJ classes, and increased the duration of kickboxing classes to 45 minutes. A Monday daytime class is coming next week.
As always, please review and practice the material covered in the post prior to the live sessions.
Here’s this week’s schedule:
MONDAY
- Kids BJJ: 5 p.m.
TUESDAY
- Beginners Adult BJJ, 6 p.m.
- Hybrid Kickboxing (HKB), 6:45 p.m.
WEDNESDAY

A few tips for using Zoom:
- Install Zoom on a laptop, tablet, or phone and sign in well before class starts to make sure everything is working.
- It’s best to use Zoom while connected to a WiFi network (not cellular).
- When you’re not talking, mute your microphone.
A word from emily
Food for thought: How might we build connection and community during this time? Maybe it starts with reaching out to someone you haven’t spoken to in a while.
Warmups
Check out this post from Coach Cindy on how to build your own Bulgarian bag, and use it to warm up and build strength for BJJ.
