UTREC Martial Arts registration is now closed. We look forward a wonderful inaugural season!

Union Township Recreation is excited to launch its newest trial program – Martial Arts! Brought forward in partnership with Impact Martial Arts of Clinton, UTREC will be offering introductory Taekwondo and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes this Fall. Registration was open from 7/16 through 8/12.

Program Overview:

UTREC is committed to bringing forward new programs that allow our kids opportunities to experience new things in a safe yet fun environment – and this is no exception. With our new coed 6-week Martial Arts program, kids will be able to try introductory Taekwondo or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu classes. Classes are offered for kids in grades K-8, with specific grade requirements listed below by class.

Schedule:

  • Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – Mondays 5:45-6:30pm for grades 2-5 starting 9/9 and running through 10/21 (excluding 10/14).
  • Brazilian Jiu Jitsu – Wednesdays 5:45-6:30pm for grades 6-8 starting 9/4 and running through 10/16 (excluding 9/18).
  • Taekwondo – Fridays 4:30-5:30pm for grades K-8 starting 9/6 and running through 10/11.

Logistics:

  • Included in your registration for either class is a UTREC Martial Arts t-shirt. Note – the Taekwondo program will also receive pants.  Shorts or sweats will suffice for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
  • BONUS! During the 6-week course any registrant will be able to attend one extra weekly intro level course of their choosing at Impact Martial Arts. This equates to 6 extra for free!
  • Kids should show up wearing sports attire. Shoes are to be taken off upon entry, and no equipment will need to be purchased for this program.
  • All classes will take place at Impact Martial Arts, located at 36 Wal-Mart Plaza, Clinton, NJ 08809.
  • Prior to your first class, each parent will need to review and sign Impact Martial Art’s student waiver. This will be circulated and retained by Impact for their records.
  • As this is a new/trial program, we’re limiting each Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class to 12 participants, and the Taekwondo class to 24 students. Please confirm you schedule works before registering for these classes. We will have a waitlist enabled during registration only to gauge interest for future programs and to fill spots, should they become available.
