Dear Elite MMA Family: (Read below or check out Coach Eric’s video summary and the survey at the bottom)

GREAT NEWS!!!  We finally get to train together again! The governor said that phase one of our reopening will begin May 18th with certain conditions to assist in keeping people safe. We have been studying, planning, and securing as many safety items as possible to facilitate the rebirth of socialization!!! Thank you guys for being great during this time of “quarantine”; we miss all of you and look forward to getting to see one another again. We have so many blessings that we take for granted: this isolation period has revealed a number of them.

We will be sending a string of communications over the next 7 to 10 days to learn more about your personal desires/needs and to inform you of how we will return to safe training in sequential phases. Please be attentive and respond to our emails/texts/videos as we value your opinions and ideas. We are a martial arts team and want to attack the return from the pandemic as a team.

As I frequently mention in class, the only difference between you and me is that I have tapped many more times than you!!! I believe this endeavor will be the same and I know we are going to make some errors as we proceed forward. However, I am a request that we, as a community, approach this topic with world class rigor. As you may know, I broke my neck nearly 39 years ago, am not supposed to be doing any type of contact sports according to the “medical professionals”, and still walk around with a cervical fracture. I believe I was blessed with that injury to encourage me to approach life in a more “intelligent” manor of managing risk while accomplishing a life of fun endeavors and accomplishment that were never supposed to exist according to the “professionals”. This endeavor is another one of those challenges and we have an opportunity to manage risk and create a life we love in the face of challenge.

Below is a questionnaire that will allow us to best meet your needs based on the “4 levels of exposure” we announced in my previous email. We will compile your responses over the next two days. We will be sending out emails/texts/videos about protocols for safe training, the new schedule, how to sign up for classes, and much more. I have spoken to two of you who have already lost loved ones to Covid-19, and I want to reiterate my sympathy, condolences, and prayers. We take this endeavor seriously and we really want your heartfelt feedback.
