Project

11/4/09

I have been researching martial arts in Las Vegas. The goal is to find two other instructors soon. The holiday season is coming up and that will slow this project down, so I want to have all three lined up! Plus, we are in the process of buying a house and will be moving within the next two months. So, I think that my training will be postponed until January. I am very, very disappointed.

I made contact with two instructors. One instructor teaches Taekwondo and the other teaches Filipino Mixed Martial Arts (FMMA). The Taekwondo instructor is a female and seems excited about the project. I didn’t get to meet the FMMA instructor, but he seemed interested in the project. I have appointments with both of them next Wednesday.

I was wearing one of my project t-shirts to work and two co-workers asked to buy one. It was so surprising, I just told them that I don’t really sell them. The were both insistent, so I am looking into the cost of t-shirts. Maybe I can give them away with donations. I honestly don’t want to make paraphernalia for the site, but it might be a good idea. If people start wearing our shirts then we will have some advertising. We are researching this idea.

The meeting with the Taekwondo instructor went great. We are like-minded, so I think this will be a great opportunity for both of us. The FMMA instructor was also interested in the project, but I don’t think he would be good for now. What he teaches is his personal FMMA fusion. It seems really exciting and I want to take it. However, his school is the only one. His style is not very representative of what can be found if a student is looking for Muay Thai or Eskrima.
