Research for an article

Hi guys! I've recently been writing a few online articles here and there, and have just been hired to write an article about "jiu jitsu schools in strange locations". In my research I've found stuff like Grapplers Escape (cruise ship jiu jitsu), Ryan Hall teaching out of a mall, and a school running out of a water park. But being a 10th Planet guy, I want to show as much love for our schools as possible. Anyone have stories of either a school or even an old school hotbox housed in a really weird location? Please let me know.

And yes, I know this is click bait. But I'm hoping to make it GOOD click bait. Help me get paid.

What can you tell me about this? Were classes going on at similar times? Did you share mat space?
I'm finalizing the article and would LOVE to add some more detail on this!

Yeah, several years ago, we, (10th Planet Indy) was based out of a mall as well until my students kept bringing in shell casings from shootings close by or out in the parking lot. Also got to see some pretty cool mall cop chases of shoplifters. Figured it was time to move. LOL

We shared the building but were in separate rooms, but we would often hear the music they were dancing to while my class was in session. Lotta songs you’d hear at strip clubs, closer by kings of Leon was one that I remember
