Visiting Las Vegas

Itaptotriangles · 07-02-2009, 03:47 PM

Hey, im gonna be in Vegas for a week starting Friday (tommorow). I was curious if there were any schools that are open to letting a white belt from VA come sit in a class. I'll gladly pay a mat fee or buy a t-shirt (or a combination?). I was just curious what schools are available and what hours they teach at.
Thanks for the help!

I would at least maybe try:
Cobra Kai
Reylson Gracie
Machado
You can google those, and I am sure they could get ya in. Are you affiliated w/ anyone bc then maybe that could help your decision.

I've heard Wand's new gym lets ya come in and watch. Heard they are real liberal about the mat fee too.

I dont think my gym (yamasaki acadamy) has an affiliates out there, but I'll ask my instructer tonight.
Thanks for the info!

I'm planning on going to LV in October, and I'd love to sit in a class. I'm guessing since Vegas is a tourist hub, they get a lot of visitors, but just in case, how do the instructors feel about visitors sitting in for a class?

Just checked Robert Drysdale's academy lets you try a class, I heard he is pretty good at BJJ...

Warrior Training Center (Carlson Gracie Jiu-Jitsu) is very friendly to visitors. I think the first class is free. Nice, friendly environment.

I currently train at drysdale I use to train at warrior, I'm pretty sure the free week of class only applies to locals. I know the mat fee at drysdales is like $25 per day, but I'm sure shawn will work something out with you if you plan on attending classes all week
