Big W for Chris at the UFC!

Just wanted to give you guys an update and let you know Chris did awesome last night winning his fight by split decision. He had his opponent hurt badly in the 3rd round although it did end up going the distance. Awesome job Chris! Everyone is really proud of you and proud of our team. No fair weather fans in the gym either. We are always 110% behind all of you guys win lose or draw - the fight team, our BJJ and CrossFit competitors, and everyone else at the gym that shows up to train hard every day in an effort to make themselves the best that they can be.

Factory X Muay Thai/MMA Expansion

So we have signed the lease on the next space over and Marc and the crew are beginning work. This space will be designated exclusively for Muay Thai & MMA. We will have 1000 sq. ft. of mat, padded walls, a 1/2 cage and a Performance MMA Pro Shop courtesy of Troy and Kelly. It should be awesome.

A new MMA program is in the works as well. This will be for regular folks who would just like to learn some MMA techniques & get a great workout in but don't necessarily want to do any hard sparring etc.

We will also be starting a Muay Thai class for little ones on Saturday, 5 yo-11 yo.

Watch for a Grand Opening/MMA Seminar with Chris Camozzi around the 1st of next month as well.

Also, FYI, there is a new Wednesday Open Muay Thai Class from 7:30-9:00.

We are really excited about the new facility and all the opportunities it will open up. So that we can continue to bring you guys the best facility, training and schedule around we can really use your help bringing new members in. Remember that every time someone you referred signs up we owe you a $25 credit. We appreciate your help and we hope you enjoy the new addition!

The seminar with Professor Moura this weekend was awesome! I can't tell you what a great vibe he had, super nice and down to earth guy. That was the impression I got. We have a great omo plata series to share with you guys! Better get in here and check it out!

Big thanks to Mike Bidwell and my good friend Tony Basile for hosting and allowing us to attend.
