Today we are thankful and grateful to all our veterans who fought to ensure the freedoms we enjoy. We hope you all take a moment to honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. There will be no online classes today. They will resume Friday. https://www.instagram.com/p/CHdSarXJOb7/

The calendar and ZenPlanner app has been updated with the applicable classes for the Zoom online Kickboxing, Karate and BJJ classes. Reservations are required for the Kickboxing and Karate classes so that their attendance records are maintained. BJJ students are not required to reserve to participate in the class as promotions work differently. Please note...the Zenplanner app has the Zoom link embedded in the class details page for all online classes. If you require the link, please look there in your app or on the website calendar. https://www.gfteamcanada.ca/phase-3-distanced-class-schedu/

They say every gym has one (or should have one?). Who is our mat enforcer?! Do we have one? Should we create a special medal and award it to the one that gets the most votes? A customized Mexican wrestling mask? It seems with all the recent crappy news that we could all use something to remind us that we will get past this and we will do so together. And what's better than the tradition of making a little fun of our friends? https://www.bjjee.com//what-a-mat-enforcer-in-brazilian-j/

This post was originally about facing and overcoming challenges in your quest for a healthier, happier you but with everything going on, it has taken on additional meaning. As we all deal with lockdowns and restrictions and the hits to your mental health from this and other things going on in your life, it is important to remember that we don't have to agree with the nature of the challenge but we have to find a way to overcome them.That some challenges are less about what we want but more about what it means for the others we care about. That takes sacrifice. And sacrifice is done with love. Love for yourself and for those that matter to you. Who are you overcoming your challenges for? https://www.instagram.com/p/CHqS8K3JiIV/

Just a quick announcement that the Yoga seminar planned for this weekend has been canceled and will be rescheduled. We will make an announcement as soon as we can. Thank you!
