Q - Where is the class area?
A - When you come into the YMCA entrance, let the receptionist know you are here for Jiu Jitsu and they will let you though a set of double doors. You walk to the end of the hall way and we are in "Studio 2". Changing rooms and showers are on the right hand side before the class area.
