Hey everyone. Would someone be so kind as to drop a link here to the discussion thread regarding AIKIDO? I’ve been searching for it without much luck, and I’m fairly certain a topic has already been established, so I’d hate to clutter things up by starting a redundant one... Thanks. 🙂

Where in the city can I find a decent BJJ gym?

Hey there. I was wondering if there's any chance you guys might start offering Wing Chun classes at your academy sometime in the near future...

Is there anything else? The current times don't work for me because of school. Maybe something around 8:00 PM?

I’m coming from over by Volovčice, so it’s quite a trek for me... Is it actually worth making the trip just to train there? If I have to commute two hours every single day, I need to know it's going to be worth my while!

look this one should be right near you, I just can't figure out where they fit in...

They aren't falling for it...

I did some digging. They actually pull in quite a few solid results at competitions.

They just don't list their rates, and there’s absolutely nothing regarding BJJ under the "Groups" link. If you aren't sure, let me know and I'll reach out to them to get the details.

Thanks!

So, here’s what I’m thinking... I want to know if nose strikes in combat sports can actually be dangerous and lead to more serious injuries, specifically in boxing, kickboxing, or MMA...

Could someone please point me in the right direction regarding where I can find Kyokushin training sessions around here?

Does anyone happen to know what weight or padding size—whatever they measure it in ounces—they use for boxing gloves in our local junior K1 and kickboxing tournaments? And I suppose you'd wonder if those differ from the senior category, or if it’s all just the same thing.

you might find what you're looking for there, since you didn't mention which city you're actually in...

Usually, they just end up leaving you with a busted nose—if they even manage to do that...
Unless someone starts playing "secret ancient nose strikes"... 🤣

Hey, just popping in here—honestly, I was thinking about this earlier while grabbing a coffee down at Starbucks—but I really feel like we need to talk more about the community vibes lately... it’s just been on my mind, you know? Anyway, hope everyone is having an awesome day! ☕️✨ kaže:

So, tell me—what city are you guys calling home? I’m curious if anyone here actually knows their way around the local karate scene... maybe some folks know where the good dojos are tucked away... 🤷

Like, is there a specific standard for the junior level versus the senior division? Or do they just use the same gear for everyone... I'm curious if there's even a difference at all...

So, ounces—that’s how we measure weight, right? And from what I can gather... if my math isn't totally off... the weight for those gloves in the LC, FL, LK, and K1 categories is basically sitting at around 10 ounces... maybe even just under that...
