My old instructor(instructor under greats such as ajarn chai, inosanto, Pak Suwanda, Larry hartsell) was bought out and has been asked to teach the advanced classes. I'm sad about it and happy for him. He has a lot to teach and I hope this helps him do it to a broader audience.

Does anyone have experience in a licensed UFC gym? I don't practice anymore, but I have some interested friends.

I wonder if it works like any other franchise or if they have some type of requirements for their gyms. I'm not worried about them learning at the advanced level, but I am more concerned about the entry level stuff they might teach. And I'm sure it comes with an expensive fee for that acronym.
