A HUGE WEEKEND FOR 10PATX
Last Thursday, striking coach Walker Nunez and Brianna Margo both earned victories at Xtreme Knockout in Fort Worth.
Walker secured the win by knockout, while Brianna earned a relentless decision victory in her MMA debut.
Two days later on Saturday, six four-person teams came to 10PATX to compete for $4,000 and a place in the $20,000 JASPR Invitational.
10PATX won the qualifier, earning $3,000 and securing our place in the Invitational on October 10 here in Austin.
Our four-black-belt team earned the victory in overtime against Practice Jiu Jitsu of Georgetown, led by Giancarlo Bodoni.
The JASPR Invitational will bring some of the best Jiu Jitsu teams in the country to Austin on October 10, with $20,000 on the line.
The weekend also included our August Guerrilla Grocers Farmer’s Market, bringing local farmers, ranchers and small businesses into the gym alongside a full day of free training and competition.
WHAT’S NEXT AT 10PATX?
Our next Guerrilla Grocers Farmer’s Market will take place Sunday, September 27.
If you know a vendor, send them here to sign up with us. Vendor fees are free.
The gym will have an open house on this day with free training all day if you have any friends who want to see what our community is about!
We are also planning a Women’s Striking and Sauna Collaboration with KUYA for Saturday, September 26, giving us another full weekend of training, community and local vendors at the gym.
There is a lot happening right now.
Curtis is back on the schedule. Our fighters are winning. Our Jiu Jitsu team has earned its place in a $20,000 tournament. Thursday Night Jiu Jitsu is growing. Guerrilla Grocers continues to expand.
This weekend, we get to show the entire Austin fitness community what 10PATX is building.
We’ll see you on the mats—and at Austin Fit Fest.
