Any gyms up here?

[C.J. Steele]

I live in Anchorage, Alaska and was wondering if there was any 10p up here? Or perhaps plans in the future?

There is a 10P ronin in Fairbanks, but I don;t know how far that is from Anchorage.

If you build it they will come, conceptually of course.

Fairbanks and Anchorage are a ways away... like 6 hours I think...

Thank you for being so prompt guys. Unfortunately I will be unable to make it up to fairbanks due to funding, but I will definitely have to make a visit in the future. Guess I'll have to settle with Gracie Barra or Anchorage bjj for now.

Maybe you can be the trailblazer for 10th Planet Anchorage.

[C.J. Steele]

Haha, its good to have dreams/goals I suppose. =]

That's how hotboxes are started....

Anchorage is probably the best place for a hot box, if nothing else due to the higher numbers of people there. CJ Gracie and abjj arent the only places you can train at btw, it depends on what youre interested in. I started out at Gracie, and its not a bad school. I had to move back down to the peninsula because my moms health was sketchy for a bit (been fighting breast cancer so I wanted to be around) and I just started at Redemption. They are an Anchorage bjj affiliate. Though I have yet to met the guys that run it ( Which I should be meeting this weekend because of the Tinguinha seminar going on this weekend.) If you need any help or are interested in starting something let me know. I know plenty of people that would want/be willing to contribute.

Well, I want to check them out, I definitely want to work in an mma environment that also has a solid bjj game. I've been looking at those two gyms, I have also been thinking about checking out greatland martial arts out of TKD america. Just looking at my options as it is right now. You're absolutely righr Barber, Anchorage being the largest municipality In Alaska and having the highest population. Maybe if funding allows in the future I can shoot for the stars and make a trip down to HQ someday to start learning the 10th planet system.
