My BJJ school in Richmond, VA :)

Kind of reposted from JiuJitsugear:

I just started a BJJ program in Richmond's far west end.  It's a traditional martial arts school (karate) looking to add a BJJ program, complete with Swain mats... and a location far enough from everyone else teaching in the RVA area so as not to step on any toes or mess with anyone's business.

My schedule works around the TMA students:  12 noon til 2 PM Wednesdays and Saturdays, and 7:45 to 9:45 on Mondays and Fridays.  I may be able to tweak it as my student base grows.
Here's the school's website.  I'm excited to finally be able to teach full-time (more or less).

I'm planning a grand opening on Saturday, March 4th.  Forum members are welcome.  Here's the best part- there's a Brazilian churrascaria (all-you-can-eat steakhouse) right next door to the school.  We can roll from 12 til 3 PM, go right next door for Brazilian BBQ, then watch the UFC at someone's house (not mine, not cable-ready).

Congrats Andrew!!!

Congrats Andrew! On the school and the brown!

Cool...sounds great.

Andrew is the man

Richmond is lucky to have a coach like Andrew.

Good Luck

Congrats on the school, the brown and the bald head, Andrew!

Congrats and best of luck brother!

Just moved to Midlothian. I'll give you a call soon.

Andrew,

Congratulations! Hope you are back to Bristol soon.

Way to goat! Best of luck with the new school and hair do.

Congrats on the belt and the new gig.

Thanks, guys.  Please stop by to train sometime.  Although I am a BJJ Revolution affiliate, I don't practice voodoo BJJ politics.  Everyone is welcome to train, as long as you leave your ego at the door and come to have fun.

By the way, here's some pics from the recent Julio Fernandez seminar at Richmond BJJ in RVA:

And finally, since I got the brown.... all the hair came off.  And along with it, my rat tail:

Finishing touches (I love my Sidekick):

Eric Burdo, the clippers, my BJJ Revolution Team brown belt certificate, me, the brown belt, and my rat tail.  Sigh.

Congratulations and good luck with your school!
