Hello NOVA MEMBERS! Hope everyone’s been enjoying their summer and enjoying it safely. We will continue our extended precautionary measures and dedication to gym cleanliness to keep everyone as safe as possible. Our safety guidelines are here, plus gi maintenance guidelines are here to review as well. And please remember to SIGN IN and OUT, each time you are at Nova. This is a critical procedure in keeping our business running during the current climate.
We thank you for complying!
**NEW WISCONSIN MASK MANDATE**
Effective August 1st through September 28th, Governor Evers has mandated anyone 5 and over wear a mask indoors except when at home. We have ordered GAITER MASKS to have on hand, for those who want to purchase them on site. Until they arrive we ask everyone to please bring your own masks for class (any type of mask or face covering is fine). *Those with medical conditions or sensory sensitivities that prevent them from wearing a face covering are exempt*
We will keep our entrance door open and ceiling fans on to help with air circulation during class. We’ll also inform everyone when the gaiter masks are in-house. Examples:
With this mandate, masks are highly recommended outdoors, but not required. We may conduct part of our Fitness Kickboxing classes or warmups outside in the parking lot during these warm months, so please make sure to bring socks and tennis shoes to each class, as we may conduct some of it outdoors.
NEW SATURDAY CLASSES
As a reminder, starting in August we are adding Saturday morning classes to accommodate both Fitness Kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu programs (plus a Yoga class!) The following classes begin Saturday, August 1st:
9:00am - 10:00am “Kickboxing For A Cause” (All Levels) Details below
10:15am - 11:15am Yoga (All Levels) Details below
12:00pm - 1:00pm BJJ Open Mat for Nova Members
KICKBOXING FOR A CAUSE
Join 22FITNESS Founder Dan Newberry for KICKBOXING FOR A CAUSE 9:00-10:00am each Saturday morning.
This fitness kickboxing class is open to the community as well. Any donations provided to this class will go to Lift For The 22, a nonprofit organization that connects veterans with gym memberships nationwide to improve military transition, and fight veteran suicide. Donations will be collected at class check-in. *No Donation Minimum*
Bring your own boxing gloves or gloves can be purchased at Nova.
SATURDAY STRETCH
Join our yoga instructor Nikki for Saturday Stretch 10:15-11:15am each Saturday in August. If we have enough response/demand to keep it rolling past August, Saturday Stretch will continue into Fall! This class is also open to the community.
Nikki teaches a strong vinyasa style yoga with hints of power. She loves to make yoga less intimidating and bring it to a wider range of people - especially those who are active and would really benefit from an increased range of motion.
Currently yoga is not included in your Nova membership, but we want to give it a shot. Cost is $5 members/$10 non-members per session. Payment will be collected at class check-in.
BJJ OPEN MAT
BJJ Open Mat is back for Nova Members! 12:00-1:00pm each Saturday. This is casual rolling and sparring, plus a nice opportunity for our jiu jitsu team to get together. We encourage all members to attend!
**AND EVERYONE: PLEASE REVIEW THE REST OF NOVA OAK CREEK’S SCHEDULE, AS VERY SLIGHT TIME CHANGES FOR SOME CLASSES WILL BEGIN IN AUGUST**
Kickboxing Class For Kids - Summer 2020
Our Kids MMA Sports Performance Summer Camp this year had such a great response, that we are now adding a KIDS KICKBOXING & MMA CLASS to our regular class schedule! Starting Monday, August 3rd, Kids Kickboxing & MMA will be Monday-Thursday, 4:15pm-5:00pm coached by Jordan.

NOVA PEWAUKEE
**SLIGHTLY ADJUSTED CLASS TIMES STARTING AUGUST 10TH**
NOVA Pewaukee’s kids and adults jiu jitsu programs are running full speed and growing! Know of anyone interested in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at our Pewaukee location? We are taking inquiries ONLINE.
And note starting Monday, August 10th, there will be slight time changes to the schedule. View it here and visit NOVA PEWAUKEE’s Facebook page Cobra Kai Jiu Jitsu On The Lake for updates!
KIDS PROMOTIONS
Prior to the mandated Covid-closure, there were some students working on their Judo promotions. Coach Scott has not forgotten about that. Now that we’re back up and running, he wants to work their way back up and not rush the very important promotions, and anticipates it happening very soon. With judo classes one night a week, promotions take more time than jiu jitsu, which trains more often. Please continue letting your children know they’re doing a great job and to keep up the hard work!
Regarding Jiu Jitsu promotions, we had some promotions in July:
Coach Mat promoted Miles Ferris at NOVA Pewaukee. Congratulations Miles on your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gray/White Belt Promotion!
Coach Chris & Coach Matt promoted four students at NOVA Oak Creek. Congratulations to Alex and Nick Brem on your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Gray/White Belt Promotion! And congrats to Ryan and Landyn Jordan on your Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Solid Gray Belt Promotion!
Our very own MMA & Fitness Coach Jordan Seufzer will be on the card for MMA OUTDOOR WAR in Superior, WI on Saturday, September 19. If you want to support Jordan in his pro fight, see Jordan for ticket and lodging info! Anyone interested in amateur fighting, this will be a great event to witness live!
We look forward to continuing a wonderful summer with our NOVA COMMUNITY. Please direct questions/comments/feedback to info@novagyms.com.
Have a great August!
Thank you/OSS!
