About SOMA MVMT:

FACILITY RULES:

All visitors must keep off mat while class is in progress.

Because of space restrictions and to maintain tidiness- there is no overnight storage of any kind. 

None of the equipment are ever to be dropped on to the mat.

We are a barefoot facility. Though we clean our mats with a disinfectant multiple times a day after every class, for cleanliness and sanitary reasons please take off your shoes in our mudroom.

To avoid spills of any kind, please keep water bottles and drinks in the cubbies along with any bags or articles of clothing.

CLASS ETIQUETTE-

BE PRESENT- put the phone away and leave it on silent. 

HONOR YOUR COMMITMENT-

Arrive a few minutes early, and stay for the whole class. If you need to leave early that day, let the coach know at the beginning of class.

RESPECT-

Respect your coaches. Pause the side convos while the coach is giving instruction. If you’d like to substitute an exercise for any reason, let your coach know.

CONNECT-

Leave the coaching and cue-ing to the coaches, but do make friends, and cheer each other on. That goes a long way especially for someone just getting started. 

Coach Chas began his martial arts journey at the age of 6 with Taekwondo. He’d took a break after a few years and took it back up for another 4 years in his adolescence then taking the biggest break from martial arts in his life, before picking things back up at age 19 with Jiu Jitsu, and never stopping since.

Chas diversified his portfolio a little and learned a bit of boxing and Muay Thai in his mid 20’s, though Jiu Jitsu is what truly has his heart. Chas trained under Jay Hayes of NJ United for the first 7 years of his grappling journey, before spending 3 years at Essential with JT Torres, before finally training under and receiving his brown belt from Kyvann in 2023.

Outside of martial arts, Chas is an avid indoor rock climber, specializing in bouldering, as well as finding the best hole in the wall restaurants.
