Jiu-Jitsu is the art of survival, efficiency, and adaptation. In Gracie Jiu-Jitsu's Women Empowered program, we learn to use a piece of fabric or long hair to effectively choke someone in order for us to escape safely. With Jiu-Jitsu, we do what we must in order to survive.

Join us for the Women Empowered program on Saturdays at 10am. No experience is necessary. Please visit our website to register. Gracie Jiu-Jitsu is located at 636 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.

Join Jaki Canterbury, owner of Slowfiber, for a class entitled Knitting Saturdays: Socks That Don't Suck, held every other Saturday, August 28 - October 2, 10am-11am, at Slowfiber, 517B Hartnell Street in Downtown Old Monterey. Fee is $10 per class. Space is limited - online registration required in advance.

Have you always felt like sock making is for those "other" knitters? That maybe you will die of old age before you tackle this elephant? Let Jaki help you eat the elephant one bite at a time. We will break socks down into digestable sections and do the rough stuff together with enough room between sections to exhale and rest. You must be able to knit, purl, decrease, increase, and be willing to knit in the round.

You are welcome to stay on after class and knit with The Yarn Junkies group until 1pm - Jaki will still be available for questions.
