I’ve tried to write this letter many times. It’s difficult to sum up all of my thoughts and the necessary information into a social media post. (Ok fine, it’s hard for me to sum up my thoughts in general, lol).
So consider this the short version; the long version will be posted on our site in a few days for anyone who wants to hear it.
When we were first approached to open a location in Boca, we thought it was a great opportunity for the brand, instructors, and students. But we quickly realized that it was just much too close to our main location in Lantana, which posed a number of problems behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, it’s proven very hard for us to give the Boca location the attention it deserves, and I’m sure that the students can feel it (even though they might be too respectful to admit it, which we truly appreciate)
Let’s be honest guys, this place needs an owner who can actually BE HERE. So, we are excited to announce that this location is under new ownership, to none other than UFC veteran and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Heather Jo Clark!
Heather has many years of experience as a martial arts teacher, competitor, and gym owner, and is going to be doing great things with this location.
As a 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Heather will be rebranding this location to become 10th Planet Boca Raton, while also bringing the program to 10p Boca as well.
And yes, and .mma will be staying on board, in addition to Heather and any new staff 🙏🏼
Stay tuned for a post from Heather, discussing the future of your new 10th Planet Boca. She’s gonna crush it here. And stay tuned to the page for updates on the major upgrades and additions to the Lantana facility that we’re really excited about.
Thanks again Caio, Hugo, Flavio, and Yegor, for their dedication to the students and family, and for always being professional and positive. You are all shining examples for what it means to be martial artists, and great human beings in general 🙏🏼
And thank you to all of the students here who have put their faith in us and our instructors. It means more than you know 🙏🏼
