Jeff Bourgeois highlighted in Seattle Times article
Check out the Seattle Times article, Cage fighters find beauty in the beatings. Despite a few factual errors, Maureen O’hagan does a decent job of trying to understand and unravel the mystery of why people are drawn to training and competing in MMA. The article also gives a basic overview of the local MMA landscape and highlights local fighters such as Jeff Bourgeois, Andy Paves and Jeff Hougland.

Congratulations Coach Syd
A huge congratulations to Coach Syd on earning his BJJ Blue Belt today! It has been a successful few days for Coach Syd, who on top of receiving his blue belt, also earned a spot at the Regionals for High School wrestling.
When he isn’t training, going to school and being a kid, Syd is also helping to train the next generation of wrestlers. He has made a huge and lasting impact on all of the kids in the Sleeper Youth Wrestling Team. In a few short months, Syd has brought kids from zero to winning wresting tournaments!!!!
From all of the Sleeper Atheltics team, we couldn’t be prouder of you, Coach Syd. Now go take care of regionals and get your spot in the Washington State Mat Classic.
