For WAJ families
The Windham-to-Tannersville weekly rhythm.
For WAJ families, the drive from Windham means choosing three recurring home classes matters more than trying to show up at random. When the drive makes sense, it becomes a dependable anchor for your week.
Winter route planningPlan for the drive.
Avoid making Wednesday the default during winter if Route 296 is rough. Choose three realistic home classes. Youth students normally include Wednesday No-Gi. When weather interrupts one home class, request another appropriate class with space.
Is the drive too much?
Not if the family chooses a realistic three-class structure; yes if you expect to wing it. Consistency makes the 15–20 minute drive disappear into your routine.
Buffer time for winter evenings
Give yourself buffer time on winter evenings. Use Main Street parking first, nearby side streets if needed, and arrive 5–10 minutes early. Look for Studios on Main, and head upstairs.
