ahaaa... my bad then 🙏 😁

mine will probably ache too... catch you in six months if we're both still around 😁 👍 😉

ooo... thanks... we could definitely use it 👍
but first we've got to get moving with training 😁
hoping persistence wins out, and that you can manage to get back into things, even if it's just some light activity 😉

I’ve still got my old kimono—white and kind of thin—but I guess it’ll do until I can grab something a bit more heavy-duty. From what I’ve gathered, there’s a ton of leverage and throwing involved.

See you guys there! 😉

Same here. 😉 👍 I was thinking the same thing about heading over on the 10th to check things out.🙂

As for the kimono... ugh, mine is probably way too small. It's been about 8 years since I last wore it. 😛 😁

I haven't been back there in a while, so I can't be certain, but it’s definitely one of the more affordable options. Honestly, just come by, check out the vibe for yourself, and have a chat with Mike—he’s easily the most knowledgeable guy there when it comes to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu...

Thanks again... 😉 I think I'll just swing by during training time and see how it goes.😁

On top of that, attending would count toward your physical education credits so you'd get the signature, and it's generally cheaper than training at other private clubs...

Thanks... 😉
How much does it run? And any idea if I can jump in starting the first of the month... or does this only happen at the start of the academic year? 🙂

Back when I was a kid, I did karate for about six years—mostly focused on sparring, though I dipped into kata too. I ended up quitting out of nowhere, and honestly, I've regretted it so many times. Now, I’m looking to get back into some kind of martial art (doesn't have to be karate specifically, just something similar) just for fun and fitness. I'm hunting for a gym in the heart of the US—ideally somewhere downtown—that takes adults and won't leave me feeling like the only girl in the room. Also, it's pretty important to me that the monthly fee stays under $100.
Thanks!

I can't believe I'm reading this... I also did karate as a kid (around 10 years old), quit, and now I'm looking to start again. Just something recreational to blow off steam after finishing college....
I'm also hunting for a club... I checked out Subos (which I saw dragonfly suggested), but from what I could tell, they don't actually do karate... or am I wrong?!?

I've been searching online for clubs in the city... and you know what's funny? None of them list their prices :P

So, if anyone could recommend a good spot and maybe mention how much it costs per month, I’d really appreciate it...

Thanks in advance
