Hey there..

I was hoping I could ask you a few things about the club..

A friend and I are interested in joining—he’s 15 and I’m 16—so I guess I was wondering if we might be a bit too old for the beginner stuff or something...
Which days do you guys hold training sessions...
And what does the membership fee look like? (I think I saw something about it $77 online somewhere)
Also, would it be alright if we just dropped by to watch a practice first?

So, I’ve been thinking—I am looking for a Muay Thai club or maybe just some sort of martial arts gym around the Dubrava area of Chicago or somewhere nearby. I guess I'm just trying to find the right vibe for training.
I finally got a response regarding the training sessions—TRENK—and honestly, I was originally planning to head down there—but it turns out the schedule just doesn't work for me at all, considering I’ve got school in the afternoons...
I was thinking—and I'm just throwing this out there—that if it were at all possible, I’d really prefer to have the training sessions around 8:30 PM. I guess it might work better for my schedule, though I'm certainly open to hearing what everyone else thinks about it.

Just so I'm clear—I think I’d actually prefer to join the recreational group instead.

Does anyone have advice on how to deal with facial redness? I always seem to have this slight flush on my face—it isn't exactly glaring or anything, but it really gets under my skin 😁

Are there any specific products or treatments out there that might actually help clear this up?

thanks

To be more specific, these breakouts are located right where my upper and lower jaws meet—basically around the muscle area on both sides. Even though I’m only 16, these don't really feel like those typical teenage breakouts; they've actually been on my face for quite a while now, I think ever since I can remember 😁

They are very, very small bumps (if you can even call them pimples) that are accompanied by some mild redness. I was wondering if anyone might know what this could be? Also, would it actually help if I tried treating them with a standard over-the-counter acne cream meant for teenagers?

So, I was just lying around this morning watching some TV when I happened to feel this little lump near my heel—well, more specifically, just above the heel where that bone sits. It feels quite hard to the touch; if I press on it, it honestly just feels like bone. I can't for the life of me remember bumping it against anything or having any kind of injury lately... there isn't even any bruising or discoloration, it looks perfectly normal. I'm not sure what I should make of this, maybe it's nothing, but I guess I'm wondering what it could possibly be 🤷

bumb 😢

I’ve been noticing some redness in my cheeks lately—I wouldn't say it's an intense, bright red, but it's definitely noticeable enough to be a concern...
I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a good cream to help with this, or if I should probably just head to a dermatologist first to get a professional opinion..
thanks
