WE DID IT! The Annual Chilly Wrap has wrapped, and so has our time in the big pool this season. Thank you all for your support, and for being part of this special tradition!
Along with Daylight Savings Time, this marks another transition point in our training calendar.
Calendar:
Wednesday November 12th – No Classes (Clavijo Family Event)
Monday November 24th – Neo Game Night! (Replaces class at the normal time. No gear bags needed.)
December 22, 24, 29, 31 – No Classes (Holiday Break)
Training:
The Neos have been dusting off old martial skills and learning some new ones lately, and we’ll continue that theme in the coming months. We will continue to train outdoors occasionally, but with fewer daylight hours, we’ll be spending more time inside.
Just as the earth builds its reserves in the cooler months before bursting with new life in the spring, both youth and adult students will see their training shift towards strength training and drilling martial fundamentals. The upcoming holidays tend to be a period of increased consumption, and carrying a bit more muscle during these months helps to offset the negative effects of indulgence.
This month, take the towels and bathing suits out of the gear bags, and throw the shin guards back in (no need to worry about gloves, mouthguards, or gis just yet). Please continue to bring water bottles, binders, pencils, and running shoes.
Memories: Please enjoy this selection of pictures and videos from our most recent Chilly Wrap, as well as our very first Chilly Wrap in 2023 (plus one of the Neos’ first bodywork lessons)!
See you in the next update!
