It is good to have this young lady back training with me. She started off as a stunt student, but now, she wants to get into the martial arts. So, away we go as we start her on her martial arts journey!

Phase 1 of getting the Dragon’s Den Garage Dojo up and running again. Garage door sealed so no grass or critters can enter. Added a netting so that we can train and not have wasps fly in while we are training. Phase 2 will be moving stuff around and Phase 3 will be to clean and put the new puzzle mats for training Krav Maga, Muay Thai, Karate and Kung Fu. We will have roll out mats for Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Stay tuned! Special thanks to Wilson Orr with ProLift Garage Doors of Sugar Land for the awesome job they did!
