Muay Thai...

You guys are all a little bit sloppy... 😁

for real?

Hapkido and that stuff I’ve seen around here is a total disaster. It looks like some Taekwondo black belt tries to throw in a bit of Judo or Aikido and suddenly calls themselves a Hapkido black belt. If there’s any actual grappling in Hapkido, it’s just a tiny bit of Judo. I only know one guy who trained Hapkido or something similar, and he didn't exactly kill it in MMA.

ps

It's funny how most MMA fighters stick to BJJ, Muay Thai, boxing, and wrestling, rather than Hapkido ;D

you're right, most MMA fighters should probably be training Hapkido instead of BJJ

wish they had someone for grappling

You want something with actual contact info or...? Which part of town?

Go hit up some kickboxing or Muay Thai. Gear? Maybe sticks and knives?...

stretching???

I need some recommendations. I'm looking to get into boxing, kickboxing, or Muay Thai on a recreational level. I'm a 34-year-old woman. I have zero experience with combat sports, but I'd like to start.
Does anyone know of any decent gyms near the Savable Forest area, Lanista, or the surrounding neighborhoods?

Thanks,

XXL in Chicago

Or maybe

Man, these clubs are popping up everywhere lately. Another BJJ gym opening soon, too. Things are really picking up...

ATT coming soon

what's up?

sorry, but I only work with high-end clubs😁

and you're just like you're in a club 😁

Basically, Pit bull Chicago is still running, but they're swapping out their head coaches. Miro Jurac isn't leading the training sessions anymore.

They'll bring in someone else to take over, though we don't know who yet.
If I'm being honest—and this is just my two cents—the quality of the training has taken a massive hit since those two great coaches, Miro Jurac and his assistant Dina Belosevic, left.

I’d also mention the gym conditions are pretty rough (way too much humidity...) and even though it used to be a really solid club, I probably wouldn't recommend it to anyone right now. 🤷 ☕ 🙄

How long were you keeping this from us? 😁 😁 😁

OngBak probably knows the deal

why does training only last an hour

cpu $67
gpu $33
ram 100-$43
motherboard - no clue, just guessing $50 max

those prices are realistic, though some people would ask for more (question is if they could actually sell it)

agreed

I'll give you a starter lesson. 😁

let's talk
