Dear Members,
Well we can finally let the cat out of the bag.
For the last three months Royce Gracie has been using the Emerson Gym for the top secret training camp in the run up to his fight with Ken Shamrock on Friday February 19, the Bellator Fight.
Royce and his camp asked us several months ago if he could get the keys to the gym to use for his access.
This was to keep the training a secret and to avoid the distraction of the press and the fans who usually flock to the training sessions.
Over the last 3 months we have been the top secret training facility with the code word name: The Factory.
We have had a constant flow of boxers, trainers, wrestlers, Jiu Jitsu in and out of the gym as the training camp prepared him for the fight. I can tell you this - he is tuned up and in the best shape of his life.
At one time we had Spike TV camped out here for three days filming all of the training and interviewing Royce for all of the promotion up to the event.
Today we got the OK to go public with the story. Tonight (Friday the 12th) on Spike TV there will be some special program about the fights coming up with all of the fighters and if you see any shots of Royce that was all shot at our training center. And on Sunday the 14th on Spike there will be a special on Royce only, almost all of which was shot at our facility.
Be sure to check out Spike tonight, Friday then Sunday and of course the Bellator fight on Friday the 19th.
You know who all the Emersons are going to be rooting for.
Best Regards,
Ernest Emerson
