Small Axe Home Gym in the Works

Well this summer has been a slow summer for competition and blogging, but my training has continued and my family and I moved to a new home. One of the reasons for the move and definitely a benefit of the move is that the property has a great pole barn that can be turned into a mat-room/dojo/ gym!

Well that process has begun! On August 30th, 2008 several of my students, and my brother-in-law Scott descended on my farm house and we spent a full day adding walls, insulating them and running electricity. We were not able to complete the whole thing in a single day, but what a great start.

REASONS FOR MY HOME GYM
1. It will provide easy supplemental training for me and my training partners without the concern of interfering with other classes or functions.
2. It gives me an opportunity to train more, better, and less expensively.
3. It will give me the opportunity to film techniques for my students.

Small Axe will continue to function its full opporation in Martinsville! Additionally, a University Club at Depauw is in the works! This is a very exciting opportunity to ensure quality BJJ training to a wide variety of students. There will be more on this in a later post!

So, tomorrow the wall board goes up! September 13th, the mats go in and from then on the training is ON!

Stay tuned for pictures, vids and more.
