Patrick Martin, don't sweat it... I totally get where you're coming from. 👍👍
I get worked up too—it's honestly baffling how some people can just completely miss the obvious 😵

It feels like maybe just me and Patrick Martin actually *got* this movie, 😵 whereas the rest of you are acting like we didn't even watch the same film 🤔

Not trying to sound like a broken record here, but I’m basically echoing everything Patrick Martin said in all my posts about this one. Honestly? It’s a top-tier flick—the plot, the acting... everything. I guess Patrick Martin and I just approach horror from a slightly different angle since we're actual enthusiasts. Personally, I know what I'm talking about—I've seen pretty much every horror movie out there, whether it's Japanese, Italian, or some obscure indie stuff from overseas. I watch them through a different lens than your average moviegoer who just picks a horror movie because they're bored and want a scare.

Honestly, it’s probably not even $100 much if you want actual quality coaching, but being a student, $67 that’s pretty much my hard limit before I start skipping meals 😁 to pay for it. There's a spot run by Subos that's dirt cheap, but the classes start at 9:30 PM, which is a bit too late for me.

Probably just in Sam Roberts' or Daniel Garcia's basement 😛

It’s honestly insane how many people have bailed—like, I guess we’re looking at maybe 90% gone now? Just a ghost town. 😉

Sam Roberts said:and you're just like you're in a club 😁

..yeah, I told the big shots at the club they should seriously think about bringing you on as their coach. 😁🤣

Sam Roberts said:How long were you keeping this from us? 😁 😁 😁

A few days 😛
I can't just go blabbing stuff—I mean, it's kind of a club thing, you know? Once they gave us the green light to "leak" things further, I told them 😉

Samuel Allen said:Nah, that’s not actually true, I guess.

Alright, adding some follow-up here—I guess I finally "got permission" to share this. 😉
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. 🤷 ☕ 🙄

Nah, that’s not actually true, I guess.

Daniel Garcia said:Just go with Bubnes and you might actually make it out alive. 😁

Regarding those videos—I was just digging through YouTube and honestly, most of them are pretty much garbage. Here’s one that actually looks decent enough.

Found another good one for you guys. Fast forward to 1:22 😉 http://youtu.be/U2iiPpcwfCA

250—take my word for it, or maybe just take my powdered milk. 😛

Gerald Long2 said:The bare minimum we could implement would be a mandatory interview process for anyone applying to psychology programs.

Honestly, whenever I see the caliber of applicants enrolling in those departments, it gives me the chills. When I hear a prospective psychologist suggest that pedophilia and homosexuality are on the same level, or claim that being gay is a sin, I can't help but think that a rigorous interview could prevent a total disaster.

Of course, a freshman is still a long way from becoming a licensed psychologist or a psychiatrist, but even this small procedural step is better than nothing at all.

I’m with you 100% on this!👍

Richard Peterson17 said:What's the deal with Pitbull as a club? Does anyone have any info or maybe some personal experience with them?
When it comes to the money side of things, I guess I’d much rather drop that cash on training sessions than waste it on junk food. Maybe it's just me, but I think it's a better call.

Top tier!! You get coaches who actually know their stuff—and more importantly, they actually know how to teach it, which is a whole different kind of skill, I guess. The vibe is great, equipment is solid... easily one of the best gyms in the area. Coaches Miro Jurac and Dino Belosevic are seriously next level.

Eric Jackson43 said:Bruce Lee spent a massive amount of time grinding in the gym—he was basically a bodybuilder himself. Pretty much an icon for guys in the sport.

Yeah, honestly... he relied way more on hitting the weights than any of that chi energy stuff.😍

Samuel Anderson34 said:Can anyone recommend some Shotokan, Aikido, Kyokushin, Kung Fu, or Gōjū-ryū clubs outside of downtown Chicago? I’m looking specifically in areas like the West Side, Cicero, or anywhere stretching down toward the South Side.

Right? 🤣
