View Full Version : showtime jiu jitsu is no more : (
Obi Narb Kenobi 11-22-2007, 08:16 AM javi announced yesterday that because of his new kid and wife he does not have the time or the energy to run two schools and he will be merging my home academy with mellinia. everyone at showtime has the option to keep their contracts and will have their prices cut to make up for the move.
mellinia just got a whole new building with tons of mat space, new equipment, great instruction from world class grapplers, and pleanty of colored belts and tough guys to train with
i would love to train over there but the thing is that the place is 45 minutes away without traffic. with traffic it is about 1hr to 1 1/2hr away, and i have school in long beach. as is i already can't train very much because of school and that is with showtime 2 minutes down the street from me.
now that showtime will close i have the option to continue my contract with javi for maybe a cheaper price but i will be giving up about 2 hours a day in just driving. i don't think i can do that. and since i already get a great deal, (60 dollars a month for unlimited training where regularly people pay $150) who knows if it will carry over to the new gym, cause it is not just javi running mallenia, there are two other guys who are in charge with him.
so now i have to look for a new school and i am most likely going to new breed in santa fe springs. which is a great school but i will for sure miss javi, i think that guy could have taken me very far; maybe to ADCC or even place at the mundials as a black belt. i'll keep training hard but this is a really sad thing for me, i felt that showtime was like a family to me and now we are all going to split up.
i used to look foward to getting my black belt from javi but oh well i'm sureonce i get used to johnny i will feel better but man this really sucks.
i'm not sure if this belongs in grappling feel free to move it
Obi Narb Kenobi 11-22-2007, 08:20 AM sorry for the long post, i'm really bummed i'm going to jerk it for a little while that makes me feel better
RoryZilla 11-22-2007, 08:23 AM BTT is off of seventh street in LB. Have you tried that school?
dragonfly 11-22-2007, 08:39 AM hope it all works out for you in the end gabe

Obi Narb Kenobi 11-22-2007, 08:42 AM BTT is off of seventh street in LB. Have you tried that school?
a little far and not worth the price btt is great but it is not like bustemant and sperry will be teaching me
beetsh 11-22-2007, 08:42 AM maybe you should take up TKD instead
RoryZilla 11-22-2007, 08:43 AM a little far and not worth the price btt is great but it is not like bustemant and sperry will be teaching me
I thought you were looking for a school near your educational institution.
Obi Narb Kenobi 11-22-2007, 08:48 AM no i want one near my home, i actually train a little at cal state long beach with the jiu jitsu club which is a great place. but i can't make the drive out there every day for the same reason i can't go to mellinia in rancho cucamanga(splg?)
beetsh 11-22-2007, 08:50 AM http://www.emailbrain.com/eb_members/11976/ftp/Pictures/jues%20tkd.gif

You should move to Long Beach.

Obi Narb Kenobi 11-22-2007, 08:55 AM You should move to Long Beach.
i was going to but the ass holes wanted me to make 3x the rent... i was like hold it... i got a shit load of money saved from financial aid, and i can pay half of the lease and next semester i can pay the other half... and they said no because financial aid is not a steady income... so now i have to wait a year or find a room to rent

Yeah Narb, I was gonna message you because I trained about a year ago for a lil while at Millenia and Showtime and I went the MT. SAC class. Some dude called me from Millenia saying that they bought a new bigger location. They offered me 100 a month unlimited training. I didn't ask if they had a belt system cause I wanted to train just under Javi. I'll hit him up on myspace and see what Rose says.
That sucks man, hopefully things turn out well for you.

yeah if you can do it you should the new gym is amazing the only two gyms that compare are no limits in irvine and extreme couture in vegas. this place is bigger than legends, and for 100/month it is a damn steal, you have batista, romi, and javier all training you... if i could get a hold of one of them star trek transporters i would absolutely go there
and they do have belt systems with the gi, but they also have no gi, boxing, mauy thai, and MMA
Sorry to hear all this, Narb. Whatever gym you go to make sure and talk to the management and tell them about your goals and maybe they can drop your prices since you will pub them at the ADCCs.
San Pedro?
A guy at my work told me his kid trains BJJ at Pedro Soriano's gym in San Pedro. Maybe you should check that gym out, Rory.

xhale 11-22-2007, 10:54 PM ahhh shit son... this is horrible news... but new breed does seem like the closest, best alternative at this point...joe wants us to start going down there on sats... so maybe we could grapple more often this way.

yeah, that sounds good, i go to the new breed open mat every now and then, great place

i trained at mellinia today, holy shit i don't know what the fuck they feed those guys over there but they are stronger than hell. the place is CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!! it is huge big ass cage, lots of mat space and i hear they have a deal for the hooters girls so they can train for cheap... :uyyy:
but yeah if you can go over there then do it i'll keep in touch with javier and train out there in the summer and times when school is out
bobbysmith 01-05-2008, 11:26 PM nice pic bjt
MildernhardPark 01-06-2008, 07:39 AM Millenia is about 45 minutes away..
I'm tempted to join..
Obi Narb Kenobi 01-06-2008, 06:54 PM Millenia is about 45 minutes away..
I'm tempted to join..
do it, i've been training there all week, great place, great instruction, and hot hooters girls... if you are a smaller guy like under 170 you have tough begginers to practice with and javi and joe gutierrez to fuck you up... if you're a bigger guy there are a lot of big guys to roll with and romi and batista will beat you up
this will be the best school in souther california in a few years
overw8beach 03-17-2008, 11:22 PM Not sure if you know this but I think they are going to open a new place at showtimes old location. It's going to be a Leo Viera affiliate school.

Obi Narb Kenobi 03-18-2008, 01:39 AM yeah i know, it's a damn shame, leo is an amazing instructor and grappler but i'll miss showtime
Obi Narb Kenobi 03-22-2008, 07:45 PM You should move to Long Beach.

war LBC
Cameron 03-25-2008, 02:46 PM thats sad to hear i have never trained there but its always sad when a quality place to train.
jukeboxhero 03-25-2008, 03:18 PM Not losing much with Leozihno in charge. This dude has awesome fuckin' jiu jitsu.
Obi Narb Kenobi 03-26-2008, 08:26 AM ^^ no there is a big loss, the feel of the academy won't be replaced that was the best school i have ever been in
jukeboxhero 03-27-2008, 03:34 PM ^^ no there is a big loss, the feel of the academy won't be replaced that was the best school i have ever been in
I was only speaking about the level of instruction. I'm sure the atmosphere will be different.
