For HTC families
An after-school anchor.
For HTC families, the 5 PM youth class can work as a reliable after-school anchor. Walkable from Main Street, you can drop the kids off and grab coffee nearby.
For adults who work on the mountaintopA consistent routine.
Instead of commuting off the mountain, our 6 PM adult classes and Saturday 10:30 AM Adult No-Gi provide a calm, technical environment to build fitness and skill right in town.
Parking on Main Street
Use Main Street spots first, nearby side streets if needed, and arrive 5–10 minutes early. Look for Studios on Main, and head upstairs to the second-floor training room.
Is this too small/local?
That is exactly the point: capped classes, visible coaching, and a calm room. You won't disappear into a massive crowd.
A different kind of local activity
What kind of problem do you want to practice?
Skiing changes the terrain. Soccer changes the field, teammates, and space. Theater rehearses and performs. Pilates develops controlled movement. Jiu-Jitsu adds another person whose movement you cannot control. It can stand alone or complement the Catskills activities your family already values.

Youth + Adult Recreation
Outdoor town. Indoor weekly practice.
Across the Catskills, families already build life around movement: skiing, snowboarding, hiking, golf, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, lakes, trails, and school activities. BJJ gives kids, teens, and adults a repeatable indoor practice that works in every season.
Surrounding Ecosystem
We design classes to anchor your active lifestyle. Hunter Mountain has 320 skiable acres, 13 lifts, and 67 trails. Mountain Top Arboretum includes 200 acres of trails and meadows. Colonial Golf Course offers local bike trails and summer events. BJJ is your weekly anchor between them.

| Theater | Scene, collaborators, staging, audience | Rehearse, collaborate, create, perform |
