I thought at first she meant monthly, but apperantly they are non-profit.
I also asked if their was any possibility of NoGi training, and more Newaza than normal... She said it wouldnt be a problem at all, and that her son was a Judo, Wrestling and Sumo (I think she may have also said JJ) champ, and that grappling would be easily available seeing as how the classes are small...
It's two hours on tuesdays and thrursdays, and I'm dropping by there on next thrursday to feel it out... I'm pretty happy with this find, and heard that this William Thompson was very good to have as a teacher...
Anyways sorry about the long rant, I'm just really happy that I found this, and for this cheap...

Bill is a monster on the mat! His tachi waza is awesome and his ground work is sick. I thought Rising Sun was closed? Is it still at the high school?
Mady's Karate has a jj club run by Mike Nimikos [spelling]. Very solid jj and judo work, Mady's fighters are excellent stand up with one competing in K1 when it first started. Kihon Karate is also really good, the Windsor area has some good fighters coming up.
I'm just down the road an hour.
