Where is the academy moving?
We are to excited to officially annouce that BETA Academy will be moving to 1459 Columbia Road NW Washington, DC. This is right around the corner from our current location. We are leasing the basement floor of Casa Del Pueblo Calvary Methodist Church which will be the home of our new 4500 square foot training facility.
When will the academy be moving?
BETA will hold its first day of classes at the new school beginning Monday August 31st.
What is the vision for the new academy?
This move opens new doors for the school. BETA Academy will have exclusive use of the space. This means that we not longer have to take up or put down the grappling mats! In addition, we will expand our program to include six days of classes per week (Monday thru Saturday) upon moving to the new location. We will also launch a kids program and offer a wide range of fitness classes to compliment our martial arts program.
In addition to having showers and locker rooms, we are planning to install a 20 foot boxing ring, a half cage for MMA training, and a multi punching bag rack system. Overtime, we should also be able to purchase a treadmill, weights and perhaps an exercise bike. All of this equipment will require a significant amount of investment so students should expect a gradual phase in of all these new amenities.
Further into the future we plan to have a school store where students and martial arts enthusiasts can purchase their gear.
What kind of fitness programs will be offered?
Over the next few months we plan to add a number of fitness programs such as Yoga, Women's Fitness, and Strength and Conditioning classes.
What kind of martial arts classes will be offered?
In addition to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai classes, we will be vastly expanding our schedule of classes. There will be more training sessions available both for beginner and advanced students. We will also hold special classes exclusively for the competition team including No-Gi Submission Grappling, Mixed Martial Arts, and Fighter Team Training.
Will there be a kids class?
Yes! We are excited to launch our kids program which will include both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Muay Thai.
Will you have morning and afternoon classes?
Absolutely! Provided there is enough interest, we will be holding morning and lunch time training sessions starting with Thai Boxing and eventually offering Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu classes.
Is there a new schedule available?
The new schedule will be available and distributed within the next two weeks.
Can students help with the move?
The new school requires a significant amount of work. We need help painting and moving equipment. Although we will be working tirelessly to prepare the space each and every day leading up to August 31st, we would appreciate and graciously accept any help from students. Please contact Melanie or Khun Kru Nakapan if you are interested in helping.
When can the students see the new space?
We are planning to show the space "as is" to students on Monday, August 3rd after the 9:00pm class. We will hold the advance Thai Boxing class, time permitting, after the walk-through.
Will there be a grand opening?
Once work to the space has been completed, we plan to hold an official grand opening celebration at the new academy. This will be a big event, which many members from Team Lloyd Irvin and Team Leo Dalla are planning to attend.
