I used Cecil's sticky on how to pick a BJJ gym and located this facility, Alliance BJJ, in Venice, FL:

Thoughts?
We're moving from Tampa to just outside of Venice next spring. I plan to continue to get fit on my current gym program, and probably get a vaccine for COVID when they are available.
I'll be 62 next year. I don't have a strong martial arts background, but am very interested in BJJ. I dabbled in Judo and Karate in my teens.
My goal is to be more resistant to injury as I get older, lose weight, instill confidence and be a harder target. I EDC because I'm not going to be a victim, but I want "me" to be as good or better than I can be, physically, and have decided that I want to try BJJ. Eventually I'd like to take ECQC, so this is the path I'm on.
