Congratulations to all the Gracie Tampa students that got a new belt or some new stripes. Special congratulations to Dan Martinez for earning his Purple belt.
I hope to see everyone back on the mat next week training hard. Hard work = success.

This SATURDAY, December 3rd, 2011 we
will be hosting an adult Belt Promotion Ceremony at
Gracie Tampa NORTH from 12pm – 2pm.
All North, South, and West members should attend!!
There will be a ton of very well deserved and high ranking promotions!!
After Belt Promotions, we will be having our 1st Annual
Gracie Tampa Holiday Party. We have hired a DJ and
will have food and drinks for all of our loyal students.
We are very proud to have each and every one of you as a part
of our family and team and hope to see all of you this Saturday.
Please wear your No-Gi attire with your Belt.
2011 has been an amazing year, and we know that 2012 will be even better!
Happy Holidays!
(There is still class at 10:30 before the party, feel free to come roll around.)
Gracie Tampa West will be closed Thursday, Friday, and Saturday (the 24th-26th) for Thanksgiving. Be sure to pick up your new Team Bamboo shirt before you leave for the holidays!
We have one more fight card this year, its looking like its December 10th, in Alabama. Dan Martinez and Martin “Trey” Brown will be fighting as a warm up for the San Do even January 6th, 7th, and 8th in Miami. Details on that coming soon!
Great news! I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico! In other news, I have ordered new school shirts. They should be here in 2 weeks. They are a nice new design, and I am sure you will love them.
I recorded this over a year ago, but its just as funny to me today. Enjoy the “YES” arm bar!
Martin “Trey” Brown is Gracie Tampa West’s new striking coach. He has been training boxing / kickboxing for over 7 years, and is an extremely good teacher. His classes run Monday – Thursday both in the mornings at 10am, and in the evenings at 8PM. I encourage everyone to come in and try his class. Beginners are welcome, the classes focus on basic footwork and movements first, be prepared for a nice work out.
