Fredericton Brazillian Jujitsu Academy, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada

My MT school doesn't have a website yet, but they run under the same gym. We're Fredericton's only BJJ and MMA gym, and we've got a brand spankin new, state of the art gym with 1200 sq feet of mat space, + punching bags and workout impiments (medicine balls, ect.). Our owner and teacher, Dana Dickenson, is no pushover and has placed highly in various Thai Boxing and Submission Grappling competitions. He's trained with some of the best in Canada (the first picture is of him with GSP), and he's eager enough to pass it on to us. We're a little bit low in numbers, but we're just getting started. Bullshido has a stranglehold on our little city, and we're the first step to sweeping it out. :disgust:

I'm assuming that those pictures are not from your school.

And why is it called "Fredericton Brazillian Jujitsu Academy, Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada" but you call it a MT school?

Pictures 2, 3, 4 and 5 are from the club. 1 and 6 are from a seminar and before a comp.

Becuase my MT school runs out of the same gym, but with a different instructor. He doesn't have a website.

Weird, the reason I said that I thought that the pics weren't from your club was because you said you had low numbers:

I guess the above pic was just for showing the size of the space?

Actually, that was a seminar we had close to our opening. Great turnout :)

You might notice that nobody is wearing gis, while this is in fact not no-gi wednsday.

Sorry, I'm confused. Are your reviewing a MT school that shares mat space with a BJJ school?

What, exactly, do students of your school get training in for there monthly fee?

Let me explain. We had a smaller school with Dana as the instructor. Dana is our BJJ teacher, but he also has some advanced Thai Boxing knowledge. Then this shiny new club comes along, and Dana strikes a deal with the owner to let us train there too, and split the costs. The guy who opened the club has a good Thai coach, so a lot of us took that up too. Dana is not the Thai coach. For our $60 per month, we get three two-hour classes of BJJ per week.
