T's Are In!


For those of you that ordered them - and for those that didn't we have extra! $25 Get some!

Growing Pains, Announcements, Change Etc

All -

Just wanted to take a couple minutes to address a some things with you guys. First, we knew that when we came to a new space it would be a big change and change is not always easy. Some people were bound to be really pumped, others not so much, and others somewhat indifferent. We felt that there were too many positives and possibilities tied into the new location to pass it up both for the businesses involved as well as our clients. So please know that we have moved to the new space in order to bring the best facility and the highest level of service to all of you - that is our first priority.

We are aware that mat space has been a bit of an issue, running two classes at one time etc. Regarding this, Grace Sensei has moved the Judo class to 4:30PM so they will be done with their class when BJJ starts effective as of yesterday. For now, Marc will continue to run Muay Thai at the same time as BJJ so we will be sharing the mats during the regular evening classes. At present the Muay Thai folks often outnumber the BJJ folks and generally require more mat space person for person. So, we are trying to work with the mat space that the class requires. If 10 more people show up for BJJ any given night, then obviously we would command more mat space. However, please know that this is your gym and your mat ! We are SHARING. All of you guys are a valued part of the gym and your input and general happiness is always important to us.

Also, in an effort to unify, simplify etc. Front Range BJJ will be taking on the Factory X nameto become Factory X BJJ. We have been considering this for a couple months and it just makes the most sense. We hope there will be less confusion for the clients,and additionally we can streamline the websites. Also, when FX wins in the MMA/Muay Thai arena, the BJJ program can benefit from that exposure.

Finally, the last change to the schedule will be to move Open Mat on Friday's to 4PM. At 5:30, the fighters spar and it's not safe to have other folks on the mat. So if you'd like to get some BJJ training in, you can have the mat to yourselves until 5:30.

Again, we appreciate your consideration and understanding. We are doing our very best to settle into the new space, make a great gym for you guys and adjust and adapt.

See you on the mat!

Friday Open Mat

Guys, we will be doing some training at 4PM tonight Friday. I think we are going to need to move the 6PM Open Mat as the fighters have sparring and the mat and the cage are very full at that time. Will advise for next week. So if you'd like to come down at 4PM tonight let's go!
