Blackzilians owner Glenn Robinson isn’t going to let coach Henri Hooft walk away without a fight. JACO Hybrid Training Center LLC, the gym owned by Robinson, seeks an injunction against Hooft, alleging he is violating a non-compete agreement by guiding fighters who defected from the Blackzilians’ home gym to a new facility, Combat Club. The order, obtained by MMAjunkie, was filed June 14 in Broward County, Fla. It contains Hooft’s agreement with JACO, signed Dec. 22, 2013, which represents the coach as a trusted advisor to the company with access to proprietary and confidential information. It contains a non-compete clause that bars Hooft from training and coaching fighters elsewhere for two years after the termination of the business relationship. A non-solicitation clause restricts him from attempting to recruit any fighters to another facility for three years.
