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

[Michael McGuire]

I tried for nearly 2 months to find a small closet space building for rent. Well, today I locked down 5,000 sq ft warehouse with an additional 3 offices, 25 ft celings, showers, and so much more! M.M.A or Madtown Martial Arts is gonna give both adults and children a new jiu jitsu family in Monroe county Tennessee. I'd enjoy hearing tips, info, advice etc. from the 10th planet family.

Congrats Tony

If you have more than one instructor you could pad one of the offices to give private instruction to someone while the regular class is going on. Obviously you should make one of the offices an office to manage your Jiu-Jitsu school. Good luck with your business

That's a good idea, thank you. With that much mat area already though, I'm leaning towards the main office overseeing the entire floor as the lounge area. This would be for parents and others to watch and relax. The second smaller office for the game room with a wii, 360, and ps3. The third office for a children's area and babysitting. There's still room left for a pro shop with merchandise and an energy bar with proper jitz energy (no sugar laden junk). I'd like to see ropes all over also! I beleive like Galvao's school. I'm not quite sure how the hotbox regulations would work though, being nonprofit. I could just have free classes for the 10th planet practice. Would that be acceptable Coach Herzog? Anyone know for sure?

Careful with the game consoles. Things could go missing. I would buy like old PS1's and Gamecubes. That way the loss wouldnt be that great. And kids have fun no matter what they play.Congrats on the space.

Good thinking Sir! I'll save the 360 for the Jon Helton/Jeremy Arel beatdown lmao. That's the only way I forsee taking either one!

Room number 2 with removeable wall.

Make sure to have padding for those mirrors during classes if your doing wrestling/Jiu jitsu.

check out www.the100.us it's for martial arts school owners without all the BS of groups like napma etc.. it's headed by Tom Callos (aka BJ Penn's first instructor) He still works a lot with Penn. Knows his stuff about running a club while staying true to what you do.
