Join the Insight BJJ / Team Renzo Gracie Family
Living healthy can be a lot of fun, especially when you’re doing so with people who care about your progress as much as you do. Even though martial arts (and especially Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) is a one-on-one activity, we still consider ourselves as part of a team.
How are we handling COVID-19?
Now that the COVID-19 pandemic has turned the corner to being endemic, we’re less worried than we were during the pandemic’s peak. However, we remain as cautious as ever by doing the following.
- As always, we ask all of our team to stay away if they are showing any symptoms of illness, or have been in direct contact with someone who shows symptoms
- We have hand sanitizing stations at both of our locations
- We clean the mats with a germicidal bleach solution every night
