One of the most important things that FIGHT CHURCH has to offer is availability.  As an MMA Chaplain, my main goal is to simply “be there” for whoever needs me for whatever reason.  In order to make myself available, I spend as much time as possible at the various MMA training facilities meeting and building relationships with those in the MMA community. 

Here in Vegas there are over 100 facilities offering some type of martial art instruction!  I haven’t been able to visit them all yet, but I am working on it.  In the meantime, there are 5 main facilities that I am visiting on a regular basis.  I also just discovered a couple newer facilities right near my home that I am adding to my regular “gym visiting route”. 

In addition to straight up gym visits, there are a lot of opportunities to attend all sorts of MMA events.  Last night was one of those opportunities.  I went down to the Xtreme Couture Training Facility for their UFC 127 viewing party.  It was a great time!  I was able to meet some new people and bump into a lot of people I have been getting to know.  It was a great event and everyone had a good time.  I look forward to working with the people at Xtreme Couture.

Here are some pics of Xtreme Couture and some of the other gyms I currently or am planning to visit on a regular basis…
