There is a lot happening around Gracie Coos County right now. This week we have new C4 Fight Team sponsors to recognize, wrestling and MMA training, an updated Coquille website, a community fundraiser, upcoming gear preorders, and one of the biggest local fight events of the year coming up fast.
Brawl on the Bay — August 22
Saturday, August 22
Ko-Kwel Casino Resort
Presented by ExciteFight
The C4 Fight Team is getting ready to step into the cage at Brawl on the Bay, presented by ExciteFight at Ko-Kwel Casino Resort.
This is a big one for our team. Our fighters have been putting in the work, and August 22 is their opportunity to represent C4 Fight Crew, Gracie Coos County, their sponsors, and our local community inside the cage.

Gracie Coquille Website V2 Is Live
The new version of the Gracie Coquille website is now live:
One of the biggest requests we have received is simply making it easier to figure out what is happening and when.
We put a lot of focus on that with the new site.
If you are visiting from a phone, you should now see a bar along the bottom of the screen that gives you quick access to the current schedule. Instead of digging through pages or trying to remember which classes are happening that day, the schedule is always right there.
Check out the new site and let us know what you think.
Community Event — Cornhole for a Cause
Gracie Coos County will have a team competing in Coquille Cornhole For A Cause, hosted at Back Alley Pub to support the North Bend Police Department K-9 program.
Entry is only $50 per team, and the proceeds support a good local cause.

September Gear Preorders Are Coming
We are doing inventory this week and will be opening preorders for our September gear run in the coming days.
And a reminder for anyone who hasn’t ordered through one of our preorders before:
You can order custom Gis during preorder periods.
That means you are not limited to whatever colors we normally keep on the shelf. We can order almost any color combination, so if you have been wanting something different, this is the time to do it.
Watch for the preorder details later this week.
That’s It for This Week
There is a lot going on, but the biggest date on the immediate calendar is August 22.
Our C4 Fight Team has been working hard, our sponsors have stepped up behind them, and now we want to see the community show up for them at Brawl on the Bay.
Saturday, August 22 — Ko-Kwel Casino Resort.
Tickets are available now in person at the casino gift shop.
Get your tickets early and come support the team.
Thanks again to everyone training, competing, volunteering, sponsoring our athletes, and supporting the academy.
See y’all on the mats!
