Thanks for getting back to me! Which one would you recommend more? Anyone got some actual experience with them?

not sure you'll be pulling any weight wherever you end up. I know Zachary Mendoza17 does strength training too,....,.. at his outdoor facility.

try both

So, since we’re all about to witness what’s basically going to be the most expensive boxing match ever put on paper—Mayweather versus Pacquiao—I’ve been sitting here wondering which big-shot organization is actually running the show and what on earth is so incredibly spectacular about these two that they deserve this massive amount of media hype, though let's be honest, it's mostly just people throwing money at them. Now, look, I’m definitely not some hardcore boxing expert or anything, but I do enjoy catching a fight every now and then, like watching Wladimir Klitschko dominate the heavyweight division as the world champ for the IBF, WBO, and WBA, and honestly, his brother is also pretty 😁 !

Hey, glad you're actually into watching Klitschko and his brother too... you're one of the few people who gets it.

Here, go do some reading.

People love to claim there's massive hype surrounding Tolka just because he's an American darling, but honestly, if it weren't for those two boxers who aren't even heavyweights, nobody would be talking about him. This whole thing is basically just a European craze; back in the States, people are way more obsessed with the lighter weight classes anyway. If the Americans don't buy into the hype and make him a star, this buzz is going to die out everywhere else too.

Sure, there’s some exaggeration involved, but we’re talking about two absolute legends here. Definitely more interesting than watching the Klitschko brothers fight each other...

Boxing gloves? Where’s the best place to pick some up and which ones should I get? Just need them for training, not for competing or sparring.

Hey everyone. Since I’ve dealt with some health issues lately, I’ve lost a significant amount of weight and haven't been able to train, so my muscle mass has basically turned to fat. In short... if anyone knows how or where to get some Galenika Testosterone Depo 250 mg, please shoot me a private message. I'd really appreciate it. They are pretty affordable in South Carolina (around $3.25 per unit), but if anyone has a reliable connection, let me know so we can coordinate. Basically, I'm just looking to speed up the long process of rebuilding my physique... I'm ready to get back to it. All the best to you all.

I need some help and info regarding Jiu-Jitsu in Split

So, I'm looking into Japanese Jiu-Jitsu (not the Brazilian version) and wondering where I can train here in Split.
I came across some mentions of a club called Uragan
Are there any other spots where someone could practice JJ?

Also, can anyone give me some insight into how that Uragan club actually operates? I was digging through some old posts from 2006, and apparently, there was some criticism aimed at the club and the instructor back then.

I'm really itching to get back into training, but I want to make sure I pick the best possible option. Where should I go?

So yeah, that's basically the only Jiu-Jitsu club in the whole city of San Diego... if you want to get serious about it.
I mean, honestly? Just head on down there, check out the vibe, maybe grab a trial session—and just see how you feel about it. 😉

hey

you still hitting the gym or what?

I mean, I don't really know much about the club myself—probably just as much as you do, honestly, mostly just hearing stories and stuff from people... but I always figure the best way to find out is just to wait until you've run out of other options, unfortunately. 😉

Alright

Thanks 🙂

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knows of any affordable gyms for training over the summer? I usually box in Chicago, but my sessions wrap up on July 3rd.
Sport: anything like boxing, Muay Thai, BJJ, or kickboxing
Price: under $50
Location: preferably near the West Side or nearby
🙂

not a chance

I'm curious to know where in San Diego I might find a place to train some martial arts recreationally, keeping in mind that I'm a total amateur.

Is there anywhere in the West Side—maybe near Santa Monica or Culver City—where you can find a wrestling school or some recreational clubs for amateurs? Looking for something for beginners, basically.

KBK Dalmatino, maybe a local karate club, an American academy in Savannah, a jiu-jitsu team out there...

I'm 16 and looking to get into MMA training somewhere in the city, so if you guys could help me hunt down a good gym, I’d appreciate it. Look, like most Americans, we aren't exactly swimming in cash, so I'm trying to keep my monthly dues around $300 $117 or less—I really don't want to keep digging into my parents' pockets every single month. I did some training over in the suburbs, which wasn't bad, but I really want to find a club where I can actually master the craft over the next few years; the local spots are okay, but I feel like I can find much more reliable coaches in the heart of the city. Honestly, I could probably swing up to $100 if it means joining a gym that's truly dedicated to the sport. I checked out "American Top Team" online and it looks incredible, but unfortunately, I don't have $117 just yet, at least not until I land a job. Hope you guys get where I'm coming from and can point me in the right direction ASAP! Thanks in advance.

so why isn't it $100 with them
