Five Rings' GRAND Re-Opening | Welcome 2019 | Happy 10 Year Anniversary

Five Rings' GRAND Re-Opening | Welcome 2019 | Happy 10 Year Anniversary

GRAND Re-Opening  |   Welcome 2019  |  Happy 10 Year Anniversary for Five Rings

We found out last July that our building had been sold to Lexus. That began our mission to find a new space and make it even better than our old one. It was profoundly fortunate that we found a space literally one block away from our original space. It's where the old Sweet Jam restaurant was; one block north of Canyon Road behind the 76 Gas Station and in between Tursi Soccer and the Liquor Store.

The build-out project was lead by our own Marcelino Garza and his company, Garza Construction, and they did nothing short of an AMAZING job.

THANK YOU to all the people that came to Five Rings' aid and helped us during this challenging time:

  • Marcelino Garza
  • Phil Schneider
  • Dan VanDetta
  • Sarah Truran Wills
  • Aaron Light
  • Paul Lively
  • Chris Buchwald
  • Preston Bauder
  • Dan Slevin
  • Justin Eyre
  • Micah Caputo
  • Nick Galyon
  • Billy Jack Hagerman
  • Kristy Armstrong
  • Josh Roy
  • Mark Ryan
  • Cody Bartol
  • Tyler Colson
  • Ben Sutz
  • Brian Zvaigzne
  • And all the people I'm missing ... it truly took the entire community coming together to make this move a success. THANK YOU ALL! ! !

Aside from it being an "open concept", here are the benefits:

  • 2,600 sq. ft. of mat space  |  18 designated rings for training
  • Ample parking in the back of the building and in front of Tursi Soccer
  • A drinking fountain and water bottle filling station
  • A much bigger women's locker room
  • A much bigger women's restroom
  • An ADA unisex shower
  • A beautiful front desk (made by our very own Mark Ryan)
  • A furnished lobby that encourages interaction and quiet conversation (couches, chairs, benches, coffee machine, juice and water refrigerator)
  • A lean, mean, highly functional pro shop space

With the arrival of 2019 comes our move to our new space:  8775 SW Canyon Lane.

These pics are from Sunday, January 13's open mat which had 28 folks in attendance and the mats don't look crowded. Awesome-sauce! ! !

We officially opened Thursday, January 3, 2019. However, over the next eight weeks there will be new things added to the space as we finish the move and completely unpack. It's a very exciting time indeed. Also, 2019 represents our 10 Year Anniversary. Yeah for us! ! !

Stay tuned for exciting news ahead regarding our 10 Year Anniversary and the celebration of our Grand Re-Open. More amazing stuff is definitely in the works.

In the meantime, keep up the training and the personal growth.  ;-)

Do. Daily. Forever! ! !

I have done nothing but lose since joining Five Rings- as in lost 6 inches off my waist and nearly 40 lbs off my gut. I started with Five Rings a year and a half ago as a 43 year old, out of shape, frustrated ex-athlete and it has been an incredible journey for me since. The Professors and coaches create a great atmosphere whether you are in it for fitness or "joy-jitsu" or looking to compete and excel. I cannot recommend Five Rings enough!

I once heard an analogy that if one inadvertently falls into water, their go-to would be to swim or to float to survive, if - they knew how. Likewise if someone takes you to the ground against your will, knowing BJJ is just what may save you. So with that, I like the thought of maybe one day that my daughters can get themselves out of a situation by having that skill. Whether 5 years from now or 20, because they were able to swim to safety or thwarted an attack by knowing how to defend themself that took just seconds to execute, all these hours driving them to swim & BJJ class will all be worth it. As for myself, I joined Five Rings when I enrolled my kiddo earlier this year.  It was a why-the-heck-not moment. :)  So here I am seven months into training at 48 years old, my only regret is why I didn't start sooner.  It's tough on the body, but I've never felt more fit in my life and is mad rewarding. Especially with seeing my progress from just a few months ago, it's exciting to know you only get better. I love the academy and the familial feel of the large group of regulars here who are loyal, train hard, and enjoy doing it. So on this Thanksgiving, a big thanks to all the 5RJJ professors & coaches & training partners!  You guys truly make me better after each class & open mat.

The environment at 5rings is one that promotes a positive learning culture. As an owner of another martial arts school in the area, I've seen a lot of different schools and methods for teaching - and by far, 5rings does an amazing job. I highly recommend for adults and children of all skill levels. Keep up the great work 5rings!
