December at RŌL Academy was a time to wind down from the excitement of November’s post-promotion ceremony while still celebrating the season and our community spirit.
We kicked off the month with our Kids Intermediate Testing, where young grapplers leveled up from the fundamentals, taking their first big step toward more advanced challenges.
Next, our ROL Kids and families headed to Brookfield Zoo to experience the festive magic of Holiday Zoo Lights—a wonderful off-the-mat event that showcased the strong bonds we’ve built beyond training.
On Christmas Eve, we hosted our Holiday Open Mat, which brought an unexpectedly large and lively turnout, proving that the holiday spirit thrives on the mats as well.
Finally, we wrapped up both the month and an incredible 2024 with a New Year’s Eve Open Mat, closing the year with camaraderie and gratitude. December was truly special—a perfect conclusion to a remarkable year at ROL Academy. Here's to an even greater 2025!
