July Updates and Events

Dear ICE Urban Combat Family,

Welcome to July! Please read below for the latest updates/events.

SPECIALTY CLASSES for July. In addition to our regular Tuesday and Saturday group class schedules, we are offering the following specialty classes this month:

Youth Sparring Clinic (for ages 8-13) on Wednesday, July 16th at 10:00am. This is a bonus class this month (no charge) and it is for ICE Urban Combat students only. Participants must have a full set of sparring gear. Please reserve your spot in advance by texting us at 805-500-3534.

All Levels Adult Self-OFFENSE Class (for adults and teens 15+) on Wednesday, July 16th from 6:15pm to 7:30pm. This is an extra class this month, serving as a make-up for a cancelled Tuesday All Levels Class from June. No reservation required.

JKD Trapping on Steroids: Sensitivity Training (for adults and teens 15+) on Thursday, July 24th from 6:15pm to 7:30pm. No, this isn’t the corporate kind of “sensitivity training”. This is the skillfully violent kind. This class will focus specifically on the skill of FEEL in the trapping range. In close range, this is our fastest attribute. The better we can feel the opponent, the better we can control and dominate him. Through a variety of specialized drills to improve this skill, you WILL walk out of this session with an increased level of sensitivity, speed and power in your trapping skills. The cost of this class is $20 per person, and it is for current and former ICE Urban Combat students only. Please sign up in advance. Text 805-500-3534 for a payment link to reserve your spot.

Youth Joint Locks to Takedowns (ages 9-14) on Thursday, July 31st at 5:15pm. This training class will focus on utilizing joint manipulation from our Iron Circle Ju Jitsu to drop the opponent and finish the fight quickly. This is a bonus class this month (no charge) and it is for ICE Urban Combat students only. Please reserve your spot in advance by texting us at 805-500-3534.

Joint Locks to Takedowns for Quick Finishes (the R-rated version of the above, for adults and teens 15+) on Thursday, July 31st from 6:15pm to 7:30pm. This training class will focus on utilizing joint manipulation from our Iron Circle Ju Jitsu to drop the opponent and finish the fight quickly. Cost of this class is $20 per person and it is for current and former ICE Urban Combat students only. Please sign up in advance. Text 805-500-3534 for a payment link to reserve your spot.

Tardiness Policy (applies to Youth and Adult Classes): As we often say during classes, “To be early is to be on time. To be on time is to be LATE. To be late is to be left behind.” We understand that life is hectic and sometimes being late is unavoidable. If you are late and the class is in session, do NOT enter until an instructor has given you permission. This is for safety reasons, and it helps avoid untimely distractions. 3-MINUTE-RULE: If you are beyond three minutes late, you will not be allowed in.

Open Mat Training: Members are welcome to come in and do some solo practice and/or work out with a training partner(s) during downtime hours at our facility. Open Mat hours of availability vary each day and week, depending on what is going on. If you’re interested, text us in advance at 805-500-3534 to see what’s available.

Private Training: Interested in taking some private training at HALF the cost or less? Private lessons are shareable. And right now, we have several individuals looking to partner up with someone or even create small groups of 3-6 people to share the cost and get in on that elite, specialized type of training. Let us know if you’re interested and we’ll get you set up!

Referral Program: Our referral program is back! Why? Because our favorite kinds of new people are those brought to us by YOU. If you refer a friend to us who joins on a membership, we’ll thank you with a $75 ICE gift card! If you refer a friend to us for a kid’s trial and they don’t end up joining on a membership, we’ll still thank you with a $25 ICE gift card.

Sparring Gear for Kids: Sparring training has always been an important part of what we do. The various spar drills we incorporate into classes help to greatly improve timing, accuracy, speed, spacing, positioning, reaction time, defense and footwork. Protective sparring gear is needed to participate in these types of drills. This gear is required for all students at Yellow Belt level and above for your child to progress to the next level. If your child is at Yellow Belt level or above, and does not yet have sparring gear, please let us know so that we can order some for you. Also, any students at the White Belt level are welcome to get sparring gear, but it is not yet a requirement. We understand this comes at another cost to you, and that is why we don’t require it for beginners. But please do understand that students who would like to participate in spar drills during regular classes or specialty classes must have their own gear. We sell the gear at our school for your convenience.

Special Events: Stay tuned for more updates on upcoming special events such as: Self OFFENSE workshops for ladies, Protector workshops for men, Sparring clinics for kids, Tactical Knife Defense and Blade vs. Blade courses, JKD Trapping on Steroids courses, Beginner courses, ICE happy hours and more! Also, if you would like to schedule your own event at our school, such as: charity fundraiser, social event, birthday party, training class for your friends, etc., please let us know and we will make it happen!
