Saturdays 10am

7×7 Live Rolling

Seven rounds. Seven minutes each. Every Saturday morning, the mats are open and the clock is running.

This isn't a class — there's no instruction, no curriculum. Just live rolling at a duration that actually tests your game. Seven-minute rounds add something five-minute rounds don't: a pacing problem. A survival layer. A moment somewhere around round four where you find out what you're really working with. This isn’t about ruining your partner’s day, it’s about pushing yourself and not letting yourself quit.

Come hydrated. Come ready to work. All levels are welcome to attend — and if you're a blue belt or above, there's no mat fee.
