🍽 Potluck Cookout – Everyone Contributes!
The entire event is free — so let’s all contribute by bringing a plate to share.
We encourage variety and creativity (not just chips and sodas 😅).
👉 Please comment in the event page with what you’re bringing so we don’t end up with 65 bags of chips.

🙌 Everyone is Welcome
This is for everyone — whether you train or not!
✅ Never trained Jiu Jitsu? Come learn at the workshop, watch the promotion, and enjoy the food + games.
✅ Have family that doesn’t train? Bring them along! There’s plenty for them to enjoy.
✅ "Do I have to train?" Nope — no pressure. Train as much (or as little) as you’d like.
✅ Gi or No-Gi? Please bring both. Workshop = gi optional. Ironman = gi required. Open mat = gi optional.
✅ Kids welcome? Yes! This is a family event — bring the whole crew.
