The Gym
Long before it was popular to cross train in martial arts in the U.S.
there existed a unique training facility known only to those in the loop
who were dedicated to advancing their practical knowledge of no-rules
fight training. Known only as, "The Gym", this seemingly low-key
facility was the brainchild of Michael Bussey, and has been in constant
re-invention since its inception in the 1970's.
Bussey is a veteran expert of the fighting arts and has a long an
impressive resume spanning over three decades. After first earning
black belts in his youth, Michael soon went on to compete in some of the
countries earliest full contact tournaments. He ran his own martial
arts academy while still in his teens before going on to a successful
career in law enforcement. Later, after becoming one of America's
earliest instructors of authentic Ninjutsu, he was instrumental in the
development of RBWI, a modern combat organization founded by his brother
Robert. RBWI became one of the largest, most respected combat
organizations in the world with branches located from Los Angeles to
Nassau. Since the 1980's Michael has conducted numerous seminars and
been coaching individuals in no-rules sparring.

Today, along with two of his sons, Thomas and Chris Bussey, he continues
his dedication toward the development of well rounded athletes at" The
Gym". This year-round, 20,000 square foot facility is located in
Arlington, Texas, and the home to numerous specialized experts. "The
Gym" has venues and equipment for boxing, professional championship
wrestling, women's self protection sessions, kick boxing, weight
training - body building, and practical hand to hand combat. Best of
all, it is open to the public and membership is very reasonably priced.
The Gym rests on a 1-acre complex adjacent to Six Flags Mall and in
close proximity to the new Dallas Cowboy's Stadium currently under
construction. The auditorium has been designed with four overhead
viewing screens and houses 600 plus spectators for special events such
as "XKO Xtreme Knock Out" mixed martial arts fights" and "Genocide"
wrestling. In 2006, an estimated 40,000 spectators found their way to
the arena and that number is expected to increase this year. The
facility also houses a full television production facility used to film
events for broadcast in the Dallas-Fort Worth market as well as
worldwide on Smartvideo TV. |

tactics has led to a sophisticated and popular style. Conditioning and
sharpening techniques are essential whether or not the participant has
aspirations to compete.
The Gym provides first rate instruction, mat time, and MMA
opportunities.
