It’s never on time; it's always a mess... just typical.

Yes.

Well, damn him

There isn't much point in making excuses... if anything, I think your post is entirely accurate.

Don't bother signing up for any of those basic classes (and by class, I mean things like "Defend yourself against a knife in two weeks"). Instead, sign up for Krav Maga and really put in the work.
The mental block will likely ease up quite easily, and then your real challenge will be trying to restrain yourself from hitting an idiot 😬.
It's not just women there (though there are groups, so I suppose you should go check for yourself). But to say these classes are exclusively female—they aren't.

More or less, we all deal with that hesitation when it comes to getting into a fight. You overcome it through training, gradually, until one day a switch just flips in your head and you start going absolutely ballistic.
That guy in the car will probably run right into someone who, in a moment of pure instinct, pulls a Glock and points it at him. Especially during the late hours, let alone on a standard workday. 🙂

Samuel Anderson34 said:Greetings. Does anyone know of an MMA gym around here that offers training in two or three different martial arts under one roof?

Thanks.

Not really... In most MMA gyms, the focus is pretty much just one thing: MMA.

Train because you actually love it and want to, regardless of how many years have passed. Age is just a distraction created by some suits chasing fame and money while abandoning any real values. It might sound a bit hippie-dippie, but unfortunately, that’s just the reality of the industry.

Stay patient and good luck. 🙂

You’re sixteen years old and already a junior in high school...

School starts tomorrow, yet it's already 8:54 PM.
It’s getting late.

Women feel pain too... 😉

Sure, go hit up some local MMA gym and then come back and tell me how much better it is than running or whatever... if you really want to be that wrong.🙂

This conditional training is absolute garbage compared to running or something similar, I guess. ☕

Daniel Garcia said:Look, if you actually want to be able to defend yourself, you gotta learn how to hit and how to take a punch.🙂 Anyone telling you otherwise is full of it or clueless. For real self-defense, go with Krav Maga or Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu—or if you’ve got money to burn and all the time in the world to actually make it useful, maybe Wing Chun (just do your homework on where to go).
As for non-striking sports, stick to wrestling, Judo, or BJJ.
But hey, if you wanna be an Aikido hippie ballerina like our resident forum expert Larry Hayes, 😍 I'd suggest checking out Takemusu Aikido or Aikikai clubs.

Go to hell.😍
You don't have a clue.🙂

ruggedpanther27 said:just go to Thailand and commit to it completely.

In short, yes. 👍
If he can manage six months of consistent training over there, I suppose he could handle just about anything. 🙂

Jose Ruiz2 said:hey, they're telling me my brother is in critical condition😢

Really?
Are you seriously stalking me with this stuff? Look, I might have some connections at the hospital or even the local jail... but I guess it's hard to prove if someone was betrayed.
Who sent him to the hospital?
Where are you going to find her?

All you really need is the heart to pull it off 🙂

true warriors don't actually exist 😉

Emily Moore47 said:I assume you mean an MMA gym, certainly not some "UFC club"... 😁

The effectiveness of fighting "one against many" without using dirty tactics depends on whether you are talking about a street fight or a staged scenario in a gym... though I suppose it’s a bit foolish to claim a street fight would be free of dirty tricks... 😁
Since you mentioned Krav Maga, maybe you should just go train it if you're going to use it as an example...
For one-on-one combat under UFC rules, BJJ might actually be your best bet...

But honestly, looking at your posts, I can't quite figure out what you're actually after... Are you looking for recreation, self-defense training, or do you just have a general passion for martial arts???

Crushing heads in the streets😍

velvetseal14 said:Hey, if you had to pick two sports from this list, which would they be?

Muay Thai, kickboxing, judo, or BJJ.

Give me some reasons why or why not...

You were born in '93, you're into music, and I assume you have a bit too much free time on your hands.
It seems you're looking to invest in some kind of martial arts training.
Since most gyms only run sessions about three times a week, I suppose you want to train two disciplines simultaneously to round out your schedule.

You're basically trying to mix business with pleasure.
Just tell me what you're actually looking for and where you're located, and maybe we can figure something out. 😁

We moved past those endless debates about whether Skill X is superior to Skill Y a long time ago. If that's all you care about, this thread probably won't be very productive for you.

Best, 👍

Alexander Wilson9 said:It’s my first time posting here, so I wanted to ask: does anyone know of a good martial arts club in the Tampa area? Specifically looking for somewhere that works with individuals. I’m trying to tone up my frame—I’m about 5'7" and 115 lbs—and I really want to put on some muscle. It’s been impossible so far, even though I’m eating healthy. I cut out sweets about a month ago, which was a massive struggle since I have a serious sweet tooth, but I knew I had to start somewhere. Thanks!

There is a Taekwondo school somewhere near Sarasota...
The club is run by a friend's father.😬

Interested?

Congratulations to both of them 🙂 🙏

One positioned beneath the other, within a single line 😬

That stuff under the eye is actually quite common, and it probably happens on the nipple too.

It’s just a buildup of lipids and impurities or something like that. You could always go see an aesthetician to have them cleared out using a sterile needle🙂.

As for the nipple, I guess you should probably get it checked out by a doctor.😉

I've been looking through the pages, and the description just makes it sound like some summer camp or a seasonal school...

If I recall correctly, there's supposed to be some kind of UFC gym located up near the train station over in Savannah.🤷
