Sounds tasty 🙏 + you're probably full for like 5 hours after 😁
But there's barely any vitamins or minerals in it, so I'm worried about not being able to eat anything else afterward
Morgan Alvarez3 said:I checked out Holy Spirit yesterday, and I guess it seems alright overall. My only real concern is how crowded it gets—especially with all the beginners—while there are only two instructors on hand. I’m just not sure how much individual attention I’d actually get, which feels important if I want to nail the technique and movement properly.
Before committing, I’d love to scout out some boxing gyms, so I’m definitely open to recommendations. I heard about a place over in the Quad area, maybe called Omega? It isn't showing up in my local directory, so I'm honestly not even sure how to track them down...

Scott Garcia10 said:I'm with satter on this. I'm a pretty peaceful guy, and my interest in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu isn't about looking for a fight... it's more about the challenge. It seems like you need serious focus and coordination to pull all those movements together. Like a workout for both the body and the mind.
But I value hearing what everyone else thinks about different martial arts. Like you guys mentioned, it’s hard to just train BJJ in a vacuum without it being part of a broader discipline. I need to pick a path, so any advice helps. Right now, Ninjutsu sounds interesting because it blends everything—strength, strategy, and technique. But I guess I won't really know if it sticks until I actually step on the mat.
Anyway, thanks for the input, everyone.
wiredscout38 said:Hey everyone—quick question. If anyone knows where I can get some solid Jiu Jitsu or MMA training in the city... I thought about Muay Thai too, but honestly, I don't think I'm flexible enough for that kind of stuff.🙂 Basically, I checked out some sessions over at Cikatica and it just didn't hit the mark for me. I also spent a few months training with Leonard over in Dubrava, but the whole vibe felt pretty amateurish... totally unprofessional. Today I headed down to the Kvartric area to try out Dennis Survivor, but they told me their registration isn't even open for another few months. Now that I'm stuck without a plan, I figured I'd ask you guys for advice.🙂 Can someone recommend a club where people actually take things seriously? Ideally somewhere with separate groups—I'm not looking to train in a mixed class with women or kids all mashed together. Thanks.
Oh, and I'm 22, got some money to spend, and would prefer something near the Kvartric/Downtown area if possible. Thanks.

briskmarlin29 said:Maybe I'm just being a bit too... picky, but looking at this link they provided (http://www.profightstore.com/adresar...kat=Thaiboxing), I can't find any mention of Spartan Gym.
I've heard nothing but good things about those guys over the years, so now I'm sitting here wondering if they even still exist, or if they just vanished into thin air...
If they're actually still running, does anyone out there happen to have their contact info or know where they're holding sessions these days?
Thanks in advance
Alexander Taylor72 said:I’ve been checking out some instructors for casual hobbyists and catching a bit of sports on TV, so I wanted to throw two quick questions out there:
First off, I'm really interested in striking—you know, kicks and punches. Since I’ve got a pretty lean, light build, I’m looking to steer clear of anything involving heavy grappling, throws, or wrestling, and I’m not really into weapons training either... what kind of disciplines would be the best fit for that vibe? I’m living over in River City, so I'm assuming there should be plenty of options nearby for training...
On the other hand, I've been hearing a lot about Krav Maga. Is that taught like a standard martial arts class—something you'd pay maybe $30 or $40 a month for—or is it more of a specialized seminar style course $1333 like I’ve heard mentioned elsewhere??
Thanks a ton for any insight you guys can give! 🙂
