We're opening our academy in Cape Town

[sapatiero]

Hi guys.

My training partner James, his long-suffering wife, and I have been in Cape Town since April. It's been a long time in the planning, but we're doing something we've always dreamed of, and setting up an academy here. The builders are working hard, and the academy should be ready to open in the next few weeks. The Cape Town jiu jitsu community have been friendly & welcoming, and we've rolled with most of them.

We're also setting up some accomodation out here, so if anyone wants to come out for a training holiday, Cape Town is an amazing place, and cheap too!

Our first priority is self defense, but we'll be doing sport jiu jitsu too, so we hope to have good balance of both, as we've been lucky enough to train under 'both sides' of the family.

Here's the website, we hope to develop it as the academy opens & we get our first students - www.graciejiujitsu.co.za

All the best guys, and see you soon on the mat,

Gary & James.

Looks like it will be a great place to train!

If I'm ever in the neighbourhood, I'll certainly drop in!

Looks great sapatiero, too bad I’m up in Gauteng.

Thanks guys (and cakegirl!).

You're always welcome to come out for some training/holiday. Cape Town's a beautiful place, and there's tons to do & see.

I'll post a couple of photos when the builders have finished.

PS. Batacuda - give us a call if you're down this way & we'll have a roll or something. :-)
