[just jess]

Anyone ever take boxing or muay thai boxing there?

I thinking of going to take a beginners muay thai class there this saturday and check it out

[Cher]

wwjfisdfjkdjsf...woops

im gonna take ur advice though and be a cardio maniac for the next month before i start

[chrisd1163]

I trained there a few times, they have a good thing going.

As far as cardio, it doesn't matter. Nothing will ever prepare you for the torture you will soon induce. Just get in there and do it.

[Greyho]

Theres a place called THE WAT?cf,gmdfgoj

the WAT is the real deal...its run by Kru Phil Nurse who is a famous trainer...he trains Georges St. Pierre (pro MMA champ)...i never trained there...my school in jersey is affiliated with it since he trained my trainer as well

[just jess]

[TheHipHopBillGates]

you should get some gloves to help with your workout, it'll prevent you from bruising your hands.

[just jess]

[LittleBouncer]

good gym for the serious fighter , although i have heard that beginners get left behind

i would think you would want your cardio endurance to be at its best though

[eL FryEdo]

what do you mean by that?

[LittleBouncer]

go there to get in shape,,,,,dont get in shape to start training people always make that excuse and end up just wasting time

true

[eL FryEdo]

i was thinking about this again the other day actually .... after reading this thread and the site again i might do it sooner rather than later

[eL FryEdo]

hey jess if you end up going this weekend .. find out how much it is for the gear needed ... thats the main thing besides work thats holding me back ... dropping 4-500 at once on fees and gear to start is a little much

[just jess]

i did a little research on their prices..
first class is free--they recommend the beginners ONLY class if you're doing muay thai. for boxing you can do ther beginners/int class.
then for a month--you can pay a per class rate of $30 for a trial period...then after that you can either sign up for a year at $180/class or $100 activation fee and $30/class.

gear isnt too expensive though...i will look into it and let you know.......and then right after..kick your ass :agree

[chrisd1163]

I would have to agree with that, I wasn't there during too many regular classes but I did notice a little bit of favortism and tiers of authority

[just jess]

[just jess]

i can not be awesome 100% of the time. i need some time off once in a while :chuckle

[eL FryEdo]

maybe we shouldnt train at the same time then ... i am the epitome of awesome ... wouldnt want you left in the shadows :chuckle

[just jess]

change of plans, im going to take a spin class sat thats at the same time as the boxing class this week, so i decided to up my cardio these next few weeks, and learn a few basics before i start with someone who is already training. i wont be around 4th of july weekend to take the class sat--so when i start training, i want to be consistent. i heard first hand from a few people who ahve trained there that even the beginner class is INTENSE, and i just want to be prepared.

i will keep you posted though :agree

which is to be expected its a fight gym....i dont have the patience for beginners so i have my students work with the beginners until they are able to understand whats going on with the advanced class

[Chris]

Ricardo Romero (Advanced BJJ WHAT ;-) takes Brendan Barrett

Sorry Cher had to do it

Ricardo's starting to train with Drysdale in Las Vegas.

[LittleBouncer]

[Chris]

drysdale is the man ive trained with him quite a bit

he diid a 2 hour seminar up at the school last night. Unfortunately due to work i couldn't make it but my boy said he learned more in 1 class than 2 weeks of training. real solid dude.

[LittleBouncer]

[LittleBouncer]

i train at xtreme couture in LV, i just stay in shape at various gyms in ny, Neglia pulled some real scumbag shit in my first fight so i would never attend or support anything of his

neglia is a nut. his place is actually located next door to my fathers business in Brooklyn for the last 15 years. hes a little well. um.... ya....... def.

he trians his guys like they are cobra kai, but are they good. ehhh. thats fit to be seen hes got this killer mentaility he tries to instill in his fighters, but usually the ones wwho want to be killers wind up getting killed by the more calm relaxed fighters. thats a general statement im sure you know theres many accpetions to that rule.

very cool man, good luck on your training and your career!
