I am pretty sure ATT Olympia shut down a while ago, sorry.
Also curious about BJJ in Monroe, as a friend ( Steve Cabana - 4 stripe purple under Marcelo Alonso) was talking about opening a place back up there...

I know Cabana has a place open up there, has for a while...I just don't know where. (We worked at the prison together and rolled a bit.) Here's some trivia for you folks that know Steve, did you know that he fought Lockflow.com member Landon "The Show" Showalter in MMA many years ago? Good stuff.

Hahaha! Wear your gi around the house! LOL!
How to tie it on depends on how long the belt is, and how many loops are in the front of your gi pants. I never have a problem with my knots coming loose.

I just bought some lockflow gi pants and I can't figure out how to keep them on. Can we maybe get an instructional, CombatChaz?

I am sure you are going to try this a thousand times. Nothing worse then not being able to tie your belt

From the website (WWW.ITATiger.com: "Monroe TaeKwonDo Academy & Jiu-Jitsu is an ITA-licensed member school and is therefore authorized to teach ITA curriculum, to apply ITA standards in assisting students to earn ITA certification of rank and Instructor status, and to register students to attend ITA tournaments and camps. ITA-licensed member schools are not franchised schools but rather independently owned schools adhering to ITA policies".
Poster on the door says Tiger-Rock TKD and BJJ. Phone numbers are disconnected. Contact email is . I don't know if he's the owner, or what. They apparently have some adult classes, but it looks like they cater to kids.
Hard to tell, but it looks like one of those strip mall TKD places (and not what I think we were looking for, but who knows)... have to wait and see...
That's all I got for now...

haha Cabana brings back memories, I used to go to school with him back in GRCC and we would "train" together in the yard of his apartment in Auburn at the time. I met him at Marcelo's in Tacoma(at the time), small world.

Hi Guys, I am the head instructor of the Monroe Taekwondo Plus Jiu-jitsu Academy.
I moved from Louisiana and opened a school here in Monroe with my Business partner Erik Wray who owns the Mill Creek Taekwondo Plus Jiu-jitsu and Mukilteo 5th Element MMA school in Golds Gym. (fifth element myspace) http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=431501903
As far as Jiu-jitsu credentials go you can check all that out at www.tkdplusbjj.com . My entire family teaches martial arts in Louisiana www.molleystkd.com .I have been doing BJJ for 10+ years. I have studied under multiple instructors and move around which has made it difficult to rank up very high in BJJ; not that I particularly think its important, but most people do.
Sr. 4th Degree blackbelt TKD
1st Blackbelt Han Mu Do
Brown Belt Weeping Style Jiu-jitsu
Blue 1 stripe BJJ
Our BJJ classes are age 15+, if any of you guys want more information call 360-282-2600 and I'll be more than glad to set you guys up with a free class. Peace.
