Dan, Kit, and Telly have started their weight cuts and will be leaving for Key West tomorrow morning at the lovely hour of 6AM. Trey, Carlos, and Robin are going with me tomorrow morning to make sure the fighters get to the weigh ins on Wednesday before their fights on Thursday. This will be Dan’s 7th fight, kit’s 5th, and Telly’s 3rd. While we are gone all classes are running on schedule at Gracie Tampa West.
I know many of you are competing this Saturday at the NAGA tournament here in Tampa at USF, Dan will be there to coach kids and adults. I think its a good idea for everyone to compete if you can make it, its very good for you to grapple people from other schools and doing these tournaments will make you better, and help you to see the things you need to improve on.
I will post updates on the fights and NAGA as they happen!

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!
