Friday Night Fanatics is a combined youth BJJ class built around coached game rounds. The goal is real resistance, clear feedback, and another chance to solve the problem when the partner changes.
HOW WE TRAIN TOGETHER
What a good Friday round looks like
Keep Going
If the first attack or escape fails, reset your thinking and stay in the problem.
Be Good to Your Partner
Give a real round without using speed, strength, or emotion carelessly.
Keep going means staying engaged with a useful challenge. A tap, injury, unsafe feeling, or coach stoppage always means stop.

Coached rounds
Kids get real resistance, clear feedback, and another chance to solve the problem.
Coach-planned matchups
Coach-selected pairings create the right challenge without careless speed, strength, or mismatches.
Parent viewing & takeaway
Parents watch, kids get useful feedback, and each student leaves with one success and one next problem to bring back to class.
Fair Starting Positions
Coaches choose connected starting positions so kids work on a useful problem right away without spending a short round chasing, stalling, or negotiating distance. Fair pairing means a safe, useful challenge—not guaranteed equal outcomes. The goal is problem-solving, not winning a trophy.
Starting examples may include:
- Shoulder to shoulder on the knees
- Seated guard connection
- Double octopus guard
- Other coach-selected positions

FAQ
Questions parents ask before reserving.
Friday Night Fanatics is a coached youth BJJ small-group class with guided game rounds. It is more uncertain than a normal class because partners may be unfamiliar, but more controlled than a tournament: clear rules, useful resistance, partner care, and coach-led resets. It is meaningful training in its own right, not only competition preparation.
Sometimes, yes. Friday Night Fanatics can work as a local home-and-away scrimmage class with nearby rooms. Possible local rooms we invite include Firehouse Jiu Jitsu in Catskill, Ascended Jiu-Jitsu & Yoga in Kingston, and Pathway Martial Arts Academy / Keirobudo in Cairo. We base participation on coach confirmation, family interest, and safe matchup planning.
Yes. Friday Night Fanatics can count as a small-group class. We structure training with coaching, pairing, rounds, resets, and a clear skill focus.
It means kids train with students they may not normally see, but in a coach-planned class format. Think of it like a local scrimmage: useful practice, new partners, parent viewing, and a clearly guided Friday session.
Coaches review age, weight, experience, size, attributes, temperament, and comfort level before building matchups. Every pairing is chosen with care.
Most kids get 2 to 3 coached game rounds. The exact number depends on attendance, pairings, age groups, and safety.
Rounds last 2 to 3 minutes. The goal is short, focused work that keeps kids moving, learning, and resetting well. The whole class runs about one hour in and out. Please arrive 10 to 15 minutes early (4:45 PM to 4:55 PM) so check-in is calm.
Coaches choose fair, connected starting positions so kids can start with control and work right away. Examples may include shoulder to shoulder on the knees, seated guard connection, double octopus guard, or other coach-selected positions.
Some kids may work toward submissions. Other kids may work toward takedowns, control, positional goals, or other skill objectives. Coaches adjust the goal based on readiness.
Yes. Parent viewing is part of the Friday structure. Parents can see the coaching, pairings, resets, and how their child handles the room.
Yes, with a heads-up first. Share the friend’s age, approximate weight, experience, and comfort level so Sandy can plan the right first exposure.
