Hey guys not only is Team Santos still alive and kicking, we just moved to a new larger location. We are now located at 425 Washington St. Providence.
A quick bio: I have been in BJJ and MMA since 1997, I own the longest running MMA Academy in RI, I was Rhode Island's first pro MMA fighter, every school in RI that teaches MMA has something to do with me. There are a lot of good schools in RI....There is me, 2nd
Degree Black Belt, my coach Tim Burrill, 4th
Degree Black Belt and coach to
UFC fighters Jorge Rivera and Tom Lawlor, Coventry BJJ run by my training partner Daymon Smith, 2nd
Degree Black Belt, Impact MMA in Coventry run by a Coventry Police officer and one of my students, Tri-Force MMA, run by The Jeffrey brothers, both great MMA fighters, the lazy one was my old roommate, Team Rockstar run by a Runner up National champ in wrestling, Black Diammond MMA, run by one of my former students.
RI is such a small state that you should stop in to check out these schools and make your decision based on whether or not you liked training there, don't just go for the coolest website that gets you a free t-shirt.
Please edit your posts if you posted that my gym was closed, we aren't going anywhere in fact we may be opening an affiliate in Narragansett next year!!!
