Dan Martinez and Kit Vongprachan and possibly a few others from Gracie Tampa will be fighting in Key West next month. This is a title fight for both Dan and Kit, both have very tough opponents and are training extremely hard.

Martin Trey Brown is representing Gracie Tampa West January 28th in Miami FL in Florida’s first San Do event, where he will be fighting 2 people at once. It should be entertaining to say the least.

Come in monday – thursday mornings and roll/spar with the guys to help get them ready for the up coming competitions!

Striking Coach Martin “Trey” Brown

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.
