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.
