Wow… what an absolutely incredible night!
Tonight, with a couple hundred people in the room and over 60 families joining us on Zoom, we officially announced that we are MOVING!!!
Excel Martial Arts and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu Washington are moving to Franklin Crossroads, formerly known as the Crown Center Mall!
After looking at over 31 different properties, countless phone calls, meetings, ideas, and late nights… we finally found it.
The property was recently purchased by new ownership, and they are investing millions of dollars into a complete redevelopment project for the area. We are beyond excited to officially share that we will be taking over an incredible 15,500 square feet of space!
This new location will be nearly triple the size of our previous school and is being designed specifically for us and our students. Every part of this space is being built with our families, programs, and future growth in mind to create the best experience possible for everyone who walks through our doors.
We truly cannot thank everyone enough for the support, encouragement, and excitement tonight. Seeing so many people come together to celebrate this moment meant more than we can put into words.
We are incredibly excited for this next chapter and cannot wait to welcome both our current families and all of the new families who will walk through our doors in the future.
The best is yet to come.
