Yo, does anyone know if there’s like, a gym or a club around here where they actually teach BAGUAZHANG????
thanks

Hey everyone. Anyone know if there’s a Jeet Kune Do club in the area... maybe around Chicago or somewhere similar?

Thinking about starting MMA after summer. Which gyms in the city would you recommend? I know about Crows, Bana, and West Side, but I need the real scoop on their training setups. I’ve got a background in wrestling and Muay Thai, so this feels like the logical next step for me. One more thing—what's the youngest age for amateur fighters in US MMA competitions?

Hey there.

Let me make this quick: I'm looking for a kickboxing, Muay Thai, boxing, or whatever else similar club near Spanish, Texas. Anyone know of anything decent around here?

Have you taken a look at the address listed over on profightstore.com?

I've been digging through all these different address lists for ages trying to find what I need, and the closest hit I could scrape up was somewhere near Blackwater.
Just throwing this out there—maybe someone here trains right in that neck of the woods, or knows a guy who does?
Does that Profightstore directory actually list EVERY single club, or is it just a random assortment?

Thanks!

I think the Božić brothers just opened up a club over in Oranice

That was Vlado Božić’s take, I believe, during an interview with ProFightStore

I'm talking about boxing, obviously

Actually managed to dig up the article.

"You guys opened the new 'Božić Gym' at the Spansko elementary school in Oranice—how’s everything going?

Great. We’re focusing mostly on recreational fighters, though we’ve got plenty of kids with real potential. We stick exclusively to boxing because the Božić name is basically synonymous with the sport here in America, so we don't want to muddy the waters with other martial arts."

Definitely gonna head down there and check it out; sounds pretty perfect.

Besides, I need something for light cardio and to tone up these muscles that have been on vacation way too long. 🙂

Thanks!

Besides those, you've got Piranha out in Sesvete and the Trešnjevka crew.
Bana's training is solid, but they aren't really big on the amateur MMA scene—they're more focused on pros and combat grappling. Most other gyms actually support the cadets and juniors in amateur bouts. As for age, those cadets are already born in '95.

Quick question..
Does Leonardo work through the summer too, or just during the school year?

Honestly, this thread title kind of pissed me off because I’ve got a million questions and not a single damn answer.
I’ve been wanting to get into combat sports for a while now, but I’m stuck in my own head about which one is actually worth the time. Some people give me that whole "just pick what you enjoy" advice, while others start philosophizing about finding a sport where you actually have a fighting chance at winning. It’s a lot. To be honest, I’m down for pretty much any style, but I don't really grasp the nuances between them. Like, what’s the actual difference between Savate and kickboxing? Which strikes are legal and which ones will get you tossed out?

If there's anyone else out here near Cleveland, please hit me up—I need help tracking down a decent gym nearby. I heard something about an Omega club, but I can't find a phone number or an address to save my life.🤷

Thanks in advance.😍

Look, when you compare Muay Thai, Burmese boxing, kickboxing, and Savate, there aren't really any massive differences in the actual mechanics. The real differences lie in the rulebooks.

I am currently planning to begin training in a combat sport, and my selection process has narrowed down to kickboxing and Thai boxing. My ultimate ambition is to compete professionally rather than simply practicing recreationally. Could you please provide some insight into which discipline might be more suitable for a young woman, and perhaps offer a recommendation for a quality gym? (I am 17 years old)

What can you tell me about the Police Academy Judo Club? How does their quality stack up against a place like Mladost or similar clubs...

You need to be specific about where you live—you can find KB and TB gyms all over the US if you know where to look.

I live in Spanish Springs.

Greetings, everyone. I have a question: where in the greater New York City area can one actually purchase one of those "space" suits that supposedly melts fat? And what kind of price range are we looking at? Thanks.

Give this a shot

Haha, thanks a lot. I actually thought she’d dressed for a heatwave or maybe just a marathon, given how much effort went into it.
