Employer pays for BJJ private group classes on company time!

[Pyrock]

I just wanted to brag about my company's latest perk. My employer pays for a private group lesson once a week and bought us a wrestling mat for when we want to roll at work. Bottom line.....paid private group lessons at a Gracie BJJ academy once per week and an in-house wrestling mat. All on company time!!!

Oh and the best part is now that I'm a "member" of the academy, I can attend classes at that (or any of the other branches) on my own time!

Sorry, I just had to rub it in.

That was very nice of them.

Japanese companies have been doing that for Judo or Kendo for years. It helps employees deal with stress and personal development.

That's amazing man, I'm jealous!

Heh, they need any graphic designers, web designers, or just random slaves?

There's a "Creative" department that designs all the packaging and marketing materials and there's a web department.

What about Japanese translators or talented cooks?

 

[LoneRider]

Awesome.

My own employer, the US Army, has a great BJJ based program called MACP.
