eMail spar@autodrill.com to be added to our free, totally private eNews
list - you will receive 3-4 eMails per month regarding Open Mat sessions and
other events in the Northeastern US.
(A) The Tri-State Open Mat Sparring Sessions are
working with Grapplers Tournament Circuit (GTC) and shall receive both promotion on the web site a larger number of participants due to the massive increase in exposure. www.grapplers.com and the tournaments associated with GTC attract huge crowds of participants and spectators as well as very impressive internet traffic. The last GTC event had 368 competitors and 61 teams compete in front of about 1,500 spectators... That is a large audience of
people specifically interested in what we are offering. We believe this
cooperation will greatly increase both the number and diversity of our
attendees on a regular basis.
(B) Open Mat sessions are held every weekend at two locations. we believe
that this will ultimately cause more people to make it out to the
sessions on a regular basis and help facilitate a greater sharing of
knowledge and skills. We hope that in just a short time we will outgrow our
host facilities and have the wonderful problem of looking for some place
larger or be forced to creatively schedule sessions
around certain types of sparring.
(C) We have added a second location for you to join us at! The Open Mat
sessions will now also take place at the Livingston Martial Arts Academy in
Livingston, NJ. Here is how this arrangement will work. On the third
Sunday of every month, we will continue to meet at the Bayside Academy of
Martial Arts in Elizabeth, NJ at 1:30 PM. If you've been there, you know
how wonderful that facility and the people are. On all other Sundays, we
will be meeting at the Livingston Martial Arts Academy in Livingston, NJ at
11:00 AM. Both Dan and Jeff are tremendous supporters of the sport and are
glad that we can offer you the 10% discount.
