The Bear Cave

***IMPORTANT MESSAGE RE GYM FEES FOR DEC.*** Dear Bear Cave Members, It's come to our attention that unfortunately some of you were charged gym fees for the month of Dec., despite the fact we froze all member accounts at the start of the Covid shutdowns. We sincerely apologize. Please rest assure that we have contacted the company that manages our gym memberships and have initiated the refund process. All refunds will be made before the end of the month. If for some reason you do not receive your refund, please direct message us on Facebook or call Bear and we'll see that it gets handled in a timely manner. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention and most importantly for your patience and understanding while we make it right. Many thanks.

A new year and New Hope For Bright Future Coach T.

OK FELLOW BEARS - WE ARE EXPLORING ALL AVENUES OF POSSIBILITIES REGARDING TRAINING AND CONTINUED OPERATIONS. THE CITY HAS OFFERED LITTLE TO KNOW GUIDANCE REGARDING THIS MATTER. THE COVID VIRUS IS A VERY REAL THREAT AND WE CANNOT LOSE SITE OF THIS. WE CANNOT AFFORD A SINGLE CASE OF COVID-19 OUTBREAK THAT RELATES TO OUR GYM DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY. AS OF THIS MOMENT WE ARE READY TO BEGIN TRAINING AGAIN IF AND WHEN THE CITY LIFTS THE "PURPLE" BAN THAT LIMITS AND/OR FORBIDS TRAIN...ING INSIDE ON ANY LEVEL. THE FACT IS THAT WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL BRING. COACH THOMAS AND I ARE ADAPTING NEW TRAINING IDEAS TO BE IMPLEMENTED OUTSIDE OF THIS FACILITY ONCE CITY APPROVAL IS OBTAINED. ALL ACCUNTS WILL BE FROZEN AND/OR CREDIT GIVEN SO DO NOT WORY ABOUT THAT - YOU HAVE MY WORD. WE ARE IN UNCHARTED TERRITORY AND TRHE FUTURE IS UNKNOWN BUT REST ASSURED, THE BEAR CAVE WILL SURVIVE BECAUSE OF THE SPECIAL PEOPLE IT BRINGS TO ITS DOORS.

We are very excited to op...en our doors again and not only resume training in this fantastic town, but also revamp all aspects of our programs to make assure training is all-inclusive and complete. I want to express my sincere gratitude to all of our health care workers, first respondents, and the like who have contributed so much of their own personal lives and risked so much to try and combat this terrible ordeal. WE ARE BEATING THIS THING!!! And we will continue to beat it and/or deal with the pressing issues as they unfold. This week we will identify, evaluate,. and implement protocols that will reduce any and all risk of virus spread to the minimum. These standards are mandated by the county and we will comply with them to be sure. Please feel free to call me on my personal cell phone or the Caves business line for and and all question regarding the reopening process. I AM SO VERY EXCITED TO OPEN THE CAVE DOORS AGAIN SO PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK THIS WEBSITE OFTEN FOR UPDATES ETC. MORE TO FOLLOW VERY VERY SOON! WELCOME BACK EVERYONE!!!

IT SEEMS TO ME WE WILL BE BACK TO NORMAL OPERATIONS SOON.- ALL BEING SAID, I AM HERE PREPARING FOR THE MANDATES TO BE LIFTED AND REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT - OK, THAT,S ALL FOR NOW - BE SAFE, BE STRONG, STAY ALIVE - CHEERS, BEAR See more

HELLO TO ALL BEARS! - IT IS SUNDAY, THE 5TH OF MARCH, AND I AM AT THE CAVE COMPILING A LIST OF TO-DO's THAT WILL OCCUPY MY TIME SO WE WILL BE AT OUR BEST WHEN THE LOCK-DOWN IS LIFTED - ACCORDING TO THE PROFESSIONALS, THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR WORST WEEK wrt DEATHS AND NEW CONTRACTIONS - AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, WE ONLY HAVE 2 PEOPLE IN IMPERIAL BEACH THAT HAVE THE VIRUS AT THIS POINT - I COULD BE COMPLETELY OFF BASE SO IF SOMEONE KNOWS MORE PLEASE CORRECT ME AND POST IT HERE - I H...AVE BEEN SPEAKING WITH MY BROTHER WHO IS, FOR ALL INTENSIVE PURPOSES, ON THE FRONT LINES IN NEW JERSEY. HE ALSO IN AN EXECUTIVE FOR A LARGE PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY (MERC) AND HAS BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS VIRUS SINCE ITS INCEPTION IN JANUARY. HE HAS SHARED WITH ME HIS OPINION ON OVERALL NUMBERS, TIMELINES, ETC. AND HIS BIGGEST CONCERN IS FOR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE A-SYMPTOMATIC AND NOT PRACTICING SOCIAL DISTANCING AT THE RESPONSIBLE LEVEL. HE STATED THAT WE WILL LIKELY SUFFER THE MOST DAMAGE DUE TO THIS COMPONENT. SO MY TAKE-A-WAY FROM THAT CONVERSATION IS THAT WE NEED TO HOLD EACH-OTHER ACCOUNTABLE AND SPEAK- OUT TO THOSE WHO WE ARE WITNESSING THAT ARE VIOLATING THIS PROCEDURE. WE SHOULD DO OUR BEST TO BE THE BEST WE CAN BE AS FAR AS OUR OWN ACTIONS AND JUST STAY HOME. STAY HOME. STAY HOME. STAY HOME. I ONLY TRANSIT FROM MY RESIDENCE WHO I SHARE WITH MY SIGNIFICANT OTHER, AND THE CAVE. THAT IS IT. I AM NOW MASKING -UP FOR BOTH THE DRIVING PERIOD DURING TRANSIT AND THE PERIODS OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AND/OR IN THE GROCERY STORE. IN OTHER WORDS, I AM MASKING -UP WHENEVER POSSIBLE AND PRACTICAL - I HAVE FOUND THAT ITS NOT AS DIFFICULT AS I HAD ANTICIPATED. MY GIRLFRIENDS MOTHER HAS BEEN KIND ENOUGH TO SEW US UP SOME CUSTOM FACE MASKS AND PROVIDED A MEANS IN WHICH TO INSERT A COFFEE FILTER INSIDE THE MASK FOR ADDED PROTECTION. EXCELLENT JOB!! - SO, WITH THAT, I WILL ASK ALL OF YOU TO FOLLOW THIS EXAMPLE AND MASK-UP WHENEVER POSSIBLE/PRACTICAL FOR YOUR PROTECTION AND THE PROTECTION OF THOSE AROUND YOU. IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DO ALL THAT WE CAN TO HELP PREVENT THE SPREAD OF THIS VIRUS. - I HOPE YOU AL HAVE A GREAT REST OF YOUR WEEKEND AND I WILL CHECK IN WITH YOU TOMORROW - STAY STRONG, STAY SAFE, STAY ALIVE!!! CHEERS, BEAR See more

HELLO BEARS - JUST CHECKING IN AGAIN - I AM HOPING YOU ALL ARE HANDLING THE SITUATION WELL AND BEING RESPONSIBLE WRT SOCIAL ISOLATION ETC. - WE WILL BE THROUGH THIS SOON - I WILL HAVE MORE TO ADD TOMORROW AS WE ARE PUTTING TOGETHER SOME VIRTUAL WORK OUTS AND I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SHARING THIS WITH YOU - IN THE MEAN TIME, STAY SAFE, STAY STRONG, STAY ALIVE! - CHEERS, BEAR

SO WE MAY DISCUSS THEM AND GAIN COMMON KNOWLEDGE / NEW PERSPECTIVES FORM IT - IT ONLY MAKES US COLLECTIVELY BETTER AS A COMMUNITY SO PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD YOUR TAKE ON WHAT I HAVE POSTED AS WELL AS NEW STUFF HERE - AS I PUT OUT A FEW DAYS AGO, I AM FREEZING ALL ...ACCOUNTS AS OF TODAY (THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME) UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. I AM DOING THIS NOT BECAUSE I HAVE TO BUT BECAUSE ITS THE RIGHT AND ETHICAL THING TO DO AND AS TO PROMOTE ETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES AND I HOPE OTHER FACILITIES SUCH AS MINE ARE DOING THE SAME. I WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE NOT DOING THIS. I JUST READ A POST THAT STATED 24-HOUR FITNESS IS REFUSING TO CANCEL AND/OR FREEZE ANY ACCOUNT AND IS ACTUALLY CHARGING PENALTIES FOR THOSE WHO TRY AND STOP THEIR ACCOUNT! THIS IS INSANE! I WILL NOT AND SHOULD OT DO THIS.

OK MY FELLOW BEARS - GOOD DAY!!! I AM JUST REACHING OUT TO ALL OF YOU AND WISHING YOU A "HAPPY FRIDAY!!" FROM ALL OF US HERE AT THE CAVE! I KNOW WE ARE ALL IN A STATE OF SHOCK IN A WAY WITH REGARDS TO THIS VIRUS SITUATION. WHEN IT COMES TO GOING TO THE STORE AND OTHER NORMAL DAILY TASKS THAT INVOLVES INTERACTION WITH OTHERS, I AM JUST FALLING BACK TO BASIC COURTESY AS MY MAIN GUIDE SO-TO-SPEAK. OPENING DOORS FOR THE LADIES, HELPING WITH CARRYING GROCERIES, SAYING HELLO AND T...HANK YOU ETC....THAT KIND OF STUFF GOES A LONG WAY. I WISH YOU ALL ANOTHER GREAT DAY HERE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND I WILL CHECK IN WITH YOU ALL AGAIN TOMORROW. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO POST OUR OWN IDEAS, CONCERNS, ADVISE, ETC HERE ON OUR PAGE SO WE ALL CAN BENEFIT. LOOK HERE DAILY FOR THE LATEST FROM THE CAVE! BE SAFE, REST EASY, AND GOD BLESS!! BEAR

I HAVE TAKEN THE FLAGS DOWN UNTIL THE MANDATORY CLOSURE IS COMPLETE SO WHEN YOU SEE THE FLAGS FLYING AGAIN THEN YOU KNOW WE ARE OPEN.....STAY SAFE....

ALL MY BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS - BEAR

OK - TO ALL BEARS - HERE IS THE LATEST REGARDING HOW WE ARE GOING TO DEAL WITH THIS CORONA VIRUS ISSUE - DUE TO THE RECENT MAYORAL SAN DIEGO COUNTY MANDATED DIRECTIVES ANNOUNCE LAST NIGHT (16MAR20), THERE WILL BE NO ORGANIZED CLASSES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK - MANDATED MEANS "LAW" IN LEGAL SPEAK SO THE CAVE HAS TO COMPLY WITH THESE DIRECTIVES REGARDLESS OF HOW I FEEL ABOUT IT. I HAVE ASKED THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE FOR MORE CLARITY AND GUIDANCE AS TO WHERE WE FIT IN THIS ...WHOLE PROCESS BUT UNTIL I GET THAT GUIDANCE, WE WILL COMPLY WITH ALL. I WILL, HOWEVER, KEEP THE DOORS OPEN DURING NORMAL BUSINESS HOURS YET LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE IN THE GYM AT ANY GIVEN TIME TO 10 OR LESS. AGAIN, THERE WILL BE NO ORGANIZED CUB OR ADULT CLASSES FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AT WHICH TIME WE WILL REEVALUATE BASED ON THE INFORMATION STILL PENDING FROM THE GOVERNING AUTHORITY. FEEL FREE TO COME AND WORKOUT ANYTIME DURING NORMAL HOURS AS BEING FIT AND HEALTHY IS ONE OF, IF NOT THE BEST WAY TO FIGHT SICKNESS, DISEASE, VIRUS ETC. STAY FIT, STAY STRONG, STAY ALIVE! AS FOR THE LEVEL ONE TEST, I DO NOT SEE THIS EFFECTING THE TEST DATE AT THIS TIME BUT WE WILL CROSS THAT BRIDGE WHEN WE GET TO IT. I WILL BE HERE AT THE CAVE MOST IF NOT ALL DAYS BETWEEN NOW AND THEN SO PLEASE COME IN AND ASK QUESTIONS, PRACTICE ON ME, TRAIN HARD. OUR GOAL HERE AT THE CAVE IS TO ALWAYS PROVIDE A SAFE AND WELL EQUIPPED FACILITY WHILE BEING AN ACTIVE AND GIVING PARTNER IN THE LOCAL BUSINESS COMMUNITY. IN MY WORLD, YOU, THE MEMBER, COME FIRST SO MY LOYALTY IS TI YOU YET AT THE SAME TIME WE WANT TO BE IN GOOD GRACES WITH THE CITY AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT - THIS CAN BE TRYING AT TIMES! LOL....ALL MY BEST TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY / FRIENDS - KNOW YOU ARE ALWAYS NUMBER ONE HERE AT THE CAVE - IF YOU NEED ANYTHING - ANYTHING!, JUST ASK ME AND I WILL DO WHATEVER I CAN TO HELP..SINCERELY!!! I THINK THE BEAR CAVE IS A VERY SPECIAL AND UNIQUE PLACE AND IT IS YOU, THE MEMBER, WHO MAKES IT SPECIAL - I JUST KEEP THE DOORS OPEN, AND I TRULY MEAN THIS - GENUINELY! SO STAY SAFE DURING THIS PANDEMIC AND WE WILL GET THROUGH IT TOGETHER. - RESPECTFULLY= BEAR See more

DEAR BEARS - AS YOU ALL KNOW, THE CORONA VIRUS HAS BECOME A NATIONAL EMERGENCY AS DECLARED BY OUR GOVERNMENT THIS DAY. OUR HEARTS AND PRAYERS GO OUT TO ALL THAT HAVE OR WILL BE DIRECTLY AFFECTED BY IT. THIS BEING SAID WE HAVE FACED SIMILAR THREATS BEFORE WITH LITTLE TO NO CONSEQUENCE TO US DIRECTLY. THIS IS NOT TO BELITTLE THE RISK AND/OR MINIMIZE THE THREAT, IT IS JUST TO SAY THAT WE MUST CONTINUE TO LIVE OUR DAILY LIVES WHILE BEING DILIGENT IN HOW WE DO IT WITH REGARDS TO T...HE VIRUS. AS YOU KNOW, AS MEMBERS, I AM A HUGE PROPONENT OF CLEANLINESS IN MY GYM. PRIMARILY, I ASK ALL WHO TRAIN HERE TO "GREASE UP" WHEN THEY ARRIVE, DURING THE WORKOUT AND BEFORE THEY LEAVE. "GREASING UP" SIMPLY MEANS TO APPLY LARGE AMOUNTS OF HAND SANITIZER TO YOUR HANDS, FACE, FEET, AND LEGS BEFORE YOU STEP ON THE MAT, DURING YOUR WORKOUT IF NEEDED, AND CERTAINLY AFTER YOU ARE FINISHED BEFORE HEADING OUT OR DRESSING. THIS HAS BEEN DONE PRIMARILY TO AVOID RING WORM WHICH IS A BACTERIA THAT IS PREVALENT IN THE WRESTLING / MARTIAL ARTS WORLD BUT REALLY TO AVOID CONTRACTING ANY "ISSUE" AND PREVENT THE SPREAD OF ANYTHING BETWEEN INDIVIDUALS. I ALSO STEAM CLEAN THE MATS ONCE A WEEK WITH A HIGH TEMP STEAMING DEVICE AND WE USE HOSPITAL GRADE CLEANERS TO WIPE DOWN ALL TRAINING EQUIPMENT DAILY. OUR COMMON AREAS SUCH AS THE BATHROOM AND SHOWER AREAS ARE KEPT EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN (IF YOU SEE ANYTHING NOT AS STATED PLEASE BRING IT TO MY ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY). THIS IS SOMETHING I HAVE ALWAYS TAKEN PRIDE IN AND FELT VERY STRONG ABOUT WITH MY OTHER TWO GYMS AND PAY CAREFUL ATTENTION TO. PLEASE TAKE ALL OF THIS INTO CONSIDERATION AND REST ASSURED THAT WE HERE AT THE CAVE WILL ALWAYS PROVIDE A CLEAN AND SAFE TRAINING ENVIRONMENT - FREE OF DIRT, DISEASE, FILTH ETC. - TO OUR BEST ABILITY. THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO AND I LOOK FORWARD TO TRAINING ALONG SIDE YOU!! REMEMBER THAT WE HAVE THE UFC ON TOMORROW!!!

BEARS - LEVEL ONE TEST WILL BE HELD ON APRIL 11TH. SCHEDULE TO FOLLOW. UFC FIGHT NIGHT WILL BE HELD HERE AT THE CAVE SATURDAY 14MAR20 AND THE SHOW STARTS AT 12 NOON. AS USUAL, WE WILL HAVE FOOD AND NON-ALCOHOLIC DRINKS FOR FREE! THIS IS FOR MEMBERS AND NONMEMBERS SO BRING FRIENDS AND FAMILY! EVERY SATURDAY AT NOON IS WHEN I GIVE FREE INTRO'S TO ANYONE INTERESTED IN KRAV MAGA SO SPREAD THE WORD. ... ONCE THE LEVEL ONE TEST IS COMPLETE WILL BE INTRODUCING SCENARIO BASED TRAINING WHICH IS ESSENTIAL TO INSTINCTIVE APPLICATION OF KRAV IN A REAL-WORLD SITUATION. THIS IS ALSO A REALLY FUN SO GET READY!
