FARMINGTON – The Foundry Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is offering a free grappling camp for children ages 7 to 14 from Monday, August 18 to Friday, August 22. It will be held at The Foundry on Perham Street from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. each day.

During the week-long camp, participants will learn and refine basic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu techniques from highly-skilled instructors in a safe and fun environment. Loose fitting, comfortable clothes (such as shorts and t-shirts) are recommended for those who don’t have a gi or kimono.

The class size is limited to 16 students to maximize the amount of attention and instruction each child receives.

Call to reserve a spot as soon as possible. Parents should pack a water bottle bottle or send their child with money to purchase water or juice.

A $5 donation for each participant will be accepted to cover the cost of printing materials during the week.

To find out more or to reserve a spot, please call Noel Danforth at 778-0485.

The Foundry offers certified, authentic Brazilian Jiu Jitsu instruction for men, women, and children in a safe and supportive environment.
