So my brother and I set out today to look for an MMA gym. We live in a small town in the North Central part of Florida, so we weren't entirely hopeful for something on a grand scale like ATT in Coconut Creek or Jackson's Submission Fighting in New Mexico. I did some research on a couple local gyms, and decided to go to each with the intention of finding out the quality of training and rates.
We arrived at the Renshinken Martial Arts center and were surprised. They were in the middle of rolling during their BJJ session and I approached the instructor for the information I sought after.
He introduced himself and made a staunch effort of letting us know that his school was the only legit BJJ gym in town. He then showed off his Abu Dhabi medal he received this year in addition to a Karate trophy. His credentials were definitely impressive.
Without hesitation, my brother walked out and turned to me, "this is it. This is the gym I want to train at."
As his future manager, I felt inclined to agree with him because whether I like it or not, he needs to feel comfortable in the environment he will be training at because it'll be conducive for his growth as a fighter.
He'll be going back today for their evening BJJ session. So it appears that he has his part underway, now its my turn to turn in my MMA manager's license. Hopefully we can get him set up with an ammy fight in the Fall. We'll see...
