What could be done with 5,000 sq ft of training area?

Lol indeed! It only took 2 guys and 2 broken mirrors to convince the "dance studio" lady. Afterwards she agreed perhaps a school of my own would be the best idea ;-).

Seems to be quite a massive amount of info. Thank you Sir.

It's Tennessee baby! We can cook outside year round. The only place I've ever seen 4 guys on a sofa, in the back of a truck, drinking beer, all on main street!

no problem. Check it out, I know he offers a free trial, you can call him up on phone or skype etc... He'll help you personally as opposed to "canned" info. He'll also be upfront about it if you aren't a good match. A solid guy in an industry full of snakes. Still works closely with BJ

Veritas Aequitas Freestyle Jiu Jitsu training area. This is my 2,000 sq. ft. area currently about to open. Only 3 fights away from a HOTBOX! Next step MOON!

Not as large as I had hoped but I guess I'll be opening with a 20 x 30 ft mat. I might be able to two more next month. I'm lovin life! Btw this just the mock up for size and maybe the underlay.

Got a few jiu jitsu hooligans filtering in. The loss of my full time job yesterday has me questioning a full time school. I just wish I had an advertising budget. Looks like eviction and moving next week :-(.

Dam bro I hate to hear that shit I hope things turn around for you soon. That is a tough spot to be in with a baby on the way.

Hey whats up with the Gracie Barra shorts with your boy to the right there thats probably a story worth telling.
