October Newsletter

HOLA FOOS/FOOLETTES/FOOX

October!  WOW!  (I say that every month don’t I?)

ANYWAYS.  Huge Month for us.  A quarter of the gym is heading out to Thailand at the end of the week for TWO WEEKS in our first Annual ‘TBI THAILAND RETREAT’.

Thank you all participants and for everyone that has helped with organizations and coordination!  I can’t wait to show you all the beauty of Thailand and the culture around the sport.  

How exciting!  Interested in going?  Next year, same time-  Same place?

WE’LL SEE!

RE:  TBI GOES TO THAILAND

Yes, so we will be gone from Friday Oct 8th – Monday, October 24th.

Our first day back at TBI will be on Tuesday October 25th.

And by we, I mean myself and 13 other TBI members including Coach Jeannie and our new front desk coordinator Desi.

What does that mean?  We will be a tad short staffed with Coach Nate, Coach Greego and Coach Lee leading classes.

Our schedule for the most part will Abe fully intact but if you can assist in anyway that would be super awesome of y’all.

How can you help?  Cleaning would be very useful, making sure the trash bins are empty and the restroom clean.

Senior member if you can lend a hand helping newer members with training by being a partner with them or asking the Coaches if they need help with pad holding or assisting in classes.

And as always, while we are away, please take good care of our gym, our coaches and look out for each others health and safety.

We are on a mission to level up the gym’s skill, and we are all apart of this effort.

VAMOS TBI! 

NO WOMENS CLASS FOR MONTH OF OCTOBER

Coach Jeannie will basically be out for the month.  So Sorry for the inconvenience!

Many Thanks!

RE:  SCHEDULE CHANGE

One month into our new schedule and classes.  What do you all think?  Hopefully you’re enjoying it and just want to say thank you to everyone for your patience throughout it all!

RE:  REMODEL

You may have noticed a few things changing around the gym:  Neat huh!  As always all gratitude towards our super awesome community for all your help in fixing up, cleaning the gym helping install the vinyl covers and all the fixtures.  

RE:  FRONT DESK COORDINATOR

Say hi to desi, our new front desk coordinator.  Super appreciative for her willingness to help me organize the place.  Questions about your membership or the gym, feel free to ask her!

And as a reminder:

Please continue checking and please upload photos to your account!

MANY THANKS!

RE:  ARIZONA TOURNEY COACH JEANNIE WINS

USMTO FALL TOURNEY 2022

So we had two athletes on deck, Coach Jeannie and Gregg.  

UNFORTUNATELY for Gregg his bloodwork wasn’t accepted due to promotion and commission miscommunication so he wasn’t able to compete.

FORTUNATELY Coach Jeannie was still in the clear and thus was allowed to compete.  

With only one opponent in her bracket, she was only able to once in the finals winning her division.

Big thank you to her opponent and her camps for being so willing and professional.

And as always a big thank you to our community for all your help in training Coach Jeannie for this bout.

This also ends Coach Jeannies 10 month span of competition and fight camps and is going to take a well deserved fight camp break for a month and *maybe* will wrap up the year with one last fight.

WE’LL SEE!

RE:  HALLOWEEN PUB CRAWL

Yes—  It’s that time of the year for our yearly Halloween Pub crawl.  Every year we head down to Downtown Culver City to celebrate Halloween as a ‘Fight-Themed’ group.  It could be anything martial arts/fight theme related, ninja, samurai, your favorite anime or UFC fighter, whatever it maybe!

We start at 7PM over at ‘Stanley’s Wet Goods and cruise around downtown and end up at Backstage Bar.  All members and friends and family are welcomed!  Come through!

That will be Saturday, October 29th. At 7PM

Ok PHEW.  That’s all.  Thank you all for reading!!
