Dan Green sipped his coffee slowly as he stood on the balcony and watched the sun come up. It was a monumental day, years in the making, the moment he'd been waiting for ever since the night he announced his retirement. The day that Green's MMA Academy would officially open.

It was a tremendous undertaking, that was for sure. To even locate a suitable property was challenging enough, but he had persevered and now, finally, his dream was coming to fruition. In the woodlands of rural Ontario, hours away from any sign of civilization, the Academy stood. An immense property dedicated to nothing more than the complete reinvention of MMA. He was giddy with excitement over finally opening the doors and showing his first class around.

Later...

Jason Green was just finishing a light jog around the exterior of the Academy, as he rounded the corner to the front of the training center, he noticed Alex Slade, his father's longtime training partner and close friend emerging from the front door.
"Morning Jason" the Brit smiled in greeting "Hang around for a minute, will ya? The bus is gonna be here with the others in a moment"

Sure enough, within a few seconds, the rumbling of an engine met Jason's ears. Before long, the bus rolled into view and slowed to a stop in front of the training center. Alex stepped on board and bellowed out.
"Hello everyone! Please leave your bags and just make your way on inside the training complex. Mr. Green wants to say a few words. The staff will carry your things on over to the dormitory, you'll collect them there. Thank you"
