The “Wailing Wall” Is Fixed!

snowacademy — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 03:43:53 +0000

After many months of becoming virtually obliterated by all of our gorilla-strong students busting holes in it, the wall at our Jiu-Jitsu school was up for review… Thanks to Wally (it was his idea) and Aaron, we were able to get it all done in one day! We bought plywood and some boards, helped Wally drill them into the studs, and then attached the boards around it in a frame. All we have to do now is touch it up with some paint or stain it to make it look a little bit better. We have to answer to the owner of the gym, but hopefully we can do something unique and artistic to it with our new logo- or at the least we can hang a banner from it.

Here are the pictures of the process and the finished product:
