A new MMA/BJJ school is slated to open March 1st, 2008, where Brad Souders and George McGinnis will be head instructors. Souders and McGinnis will teach an MMA class (striking, clinch, takedowns, and no-gi grappling) as well as a gi BJJ class.
Here's something from Todd Reid, who has trained with Souders: "The best thing about Brad opening the school in York, aside from his estimable skills in both MMA and BJJ, is that he is truly one of the nicest, most humble guys I've ever trained with. He's not cocky at all and he just loves to train with whoever is into it. He's going to be a great asset for MMA/BJJ in York and I'm really excited that he's going to be running the school."
The school's initial location will be at Gold's Gym North on North George Street in Manchester Township, where McGinnis has led BJJ classes for several years.
I'll keep everyone posted with more details as I get them.


Also, I should note that George McGinnis is currently training grappling at Gold's North York for anyone interested in training right away. George and the group of guys who train with him are very knowledgable and dedicated grapplers who run a good class. I'm sure all levels would be welcome to begin training with them. Contact Gold's North York for more informaiton.
