XFC Opening New Training Facility in Brandon – by Griff Stratton
Tampa, FL – So, you want to start getting in shape…or maybe even train to become a mixed martial artist for amateur or professional competition. Sounds great, but where does one start? Well, it looks like the options for finding a place to get your “train-on” are expanding very soon; here in the great state of Florida, as well as through franchises that will soon be making their way across the United States. Seems XFC has some lofty visions for their MMA gyms, and I must say, it’s good to see business’ expanding in this tough degenerating economy. With my curiosity piqued, I knew I had to find out more.
Xtreme Fighting Championships, XFC, is adding to its own comprehensive brand of MMA training “for the masses” with a second location soon to open in Brandon (address still being determined at press time). With it’s first extremely (or is it xtremely?) successful location at 10509 N. Nebraska in Tampa, XFC President John Prisco says “it was a no-brainer to continue to build on the success of our first training facility here in Tampa. We knew we had something special when we seen the great response from the public, and it’s all due to not only the XFC’s excellent training curriculum, but also the way society in general is embracing mixed martial arts. It really helps to have one of the top MMA organizations in the country branded with our schools”. John then asked me to stop by the school and check it out.
After our brief interview I took John up on his invitation and visited their unspoiled facility in Tampa; I must say that this writer was very impressed. A friendly, courteous training professional greeted me as I entered the gym, and without knowing who I was walked me through a program that would be built around my needs. In no time at all I was on my way with all the details I could ask for, and an open invitation to try a free week of training to learn more about the XFC schools of MMA – I swear as soon as I finish this bag of pretzels I am heading right back over there.
Whatever your level of fitness, whatever your gender or age, whether you are a pro-fighter, want to be a pro-fighter, or simply want the benefits of great cardiovascular health, coordination, and wellness; the XFC schools of mixed martial arts training has what’s needed for everyone to meet their personal goals.
Look for the new XFC Training location in Brandon to open sometime in the fourth quarter of 2008, and for any additional information on class scheduling or on franchise opportunities contact the school by calling: 813-971-1215 or going to www.xfctraining.com.
