Hey, I went to Team Tompkins tonight and it was pretty awesome. I haven’t done too much training before and I just wanted to go check it out. I went to a beginner Muay Thai Class. We did some cardio work, and then hit pads for a while. We did some work throwing combos and what not. It was a pretty cool place; they had weights, a big mat, and a ring inside there. I didn’t actually get to see any of the big name fighters though, but I am sure ill be back. Overall it was a great experience.
If anyone doesn’t know, Team Tompkins is a gym in London, Ontario that has produced fighters like Sam Stout, Mark Hominick, Chris Clements, Krzysztof Soszynski, and Chris Horodecki.

Who knows yet. There was a big article on sherdog about it a while back though.

Kipling is not Mississauga. It's Etobicoke, which is Toronto.  I'm sure the 427 divides Toronto from Missisauga.
I ask because I had to quit aikido for time to write papers and my thesis. I don't know if I will have time once my son is born, but if I can train then I would like to try something new.

The above poster is correct, it's not in Mississauga. I was considering checking it out when it opens but I don't think I can pull off that commute on a regular basis. Hell, it might be faster to drive there from London instead of the east end of Toronto during rush hour.
Man I hate this city sometimes.
Here's the website by the way, it only has a schedule but hopefully one day they actually update it (it's been like this for months). I've even sent an e-mail but never did get a response.

Some additional information I found...
Mark Bocek will also be a trainer there.

I was there yesterday and the place was not even close to being finished. Nothing was set up other than a desk with a phone. I know it was the right place because there was a rolled up Xtreme Couture poster by the window as well as instructions for a cage.
I was concerned about this place not being open and I googled the name of it for news and found no updates. I wonder how many other people went there and found the same.... I saw at least one other person pull up in a black vehicle as we were leaving.
All in all I was disappointed in the lack of professionalism handling this announcement. The web site only had a schedule but no updated news regarding the progress of the actual place and/or open house. The lack of answering email was also not a good sign. I wonder if they are even reading them. I might just send an email saying how disappointed I was in hopes that someone reads it.
