Does anyone have any info on this gym or train there? http://www.elitemmagym.com/ There website is not fully up and running, so a search yields this. http://www.basrutten.tv/newsdesk_inf...newsdesk_id=21 Apparently this is Bas Rutten's new gym. I will actually be moving back to Thousand Oaks at the end of Sept, so this might be a cool place to train. I'm particularly interested in the Jiu Jitsu instructor. Anyone know who he is?

You moving to Thousand Oaks or are you moving to one of the surrounding areas?

Thousand Oaks or Agoura. I was originally thinking of training at JJ Machado in Tarzana, but the convenience of training in Thou Oaks would be nice. The drive to the Valley is hell around the time I would need to go.

Drew - i'm pretty sure the jiu-jitsu instructor at Bas/Randy's place is eddie bravo. He's pretty famous. You coul.d check out the Dept of Homeland Security forum for some threads on him, and have a look on youtube for his tapout of Royler Gracie at Abu Dhabi a few years back.

Yeah, I think Eddie Bravo will do.

Bravo has 10th Planet Jujitsu why would he go over to Bas's? I was thinking of Simi Valley. If that place doesn't pan out there's a MMA gym over there.

What's it called? Simi would be great. It's right around the corner from my parents so I could visit them afterwards. Who teaches the Jiu Jitsu?

It's called Kid Box. A friend of mine coaches there.

Hhhmmmnnnn. Can't tell if you're serious or if this is place where they train 10 year olds. Plus, I can't find it on yahoo or the yellow pages.

I know this is a really old thread, but it's coming up in Google so wanted to update it for anyone that runs across it. Bas Rutten opened a brand new gym in Westlake Village about 6 months ago. He personally teaches classes everyday, alongside his team of world class instructors. To find out more, you can check out www.elitemmagym.com.
