aside from all that I have an innate fear of ZomBCraw

big, psycho... with the heart of a teddy-bear

he's a monster

actually im kinda debating if i want to do grappling or striking arts

because i plan on coming into work everyday, so sub-grappling might make that hard


but at the same time i like my pretty, clean face

not sure the rates, or if it's a regular thing, but i've seen submission grappling at the raleigh institute of martial arts:

I love training BJJ at Alliance in Charlotte. I don't know if there's an Alliance school up in the triangle, though.

Shit is expensive, though.

I've already decided that I'm moving to Albuquerque in a year or two, when I do I'm going to train at Jackson's Academy (part time obviously, I'm not going to try to start a pro career) at age 29 or 30. I actually went to Crossfit up off of Capital Blvd. to check it out and frankly I didn't get a particularly good vibe from the place when I watched a BJJ class.

damn, I'm surprised that you can't find anyone here with all the karate experts and ninjas that we have here on tww


maybe this should be in chit chat

While not cheap the programs at crossfit are very good. with that cost you'll have access to stuff that comes straight down the pipe from royce etc. It's a very professionally run gym and the owner is a friend.

im not surprised that this is expensive

the insurance must be a nightmare

11/25/2007 12:55:36 PM

no its "karate" not karate.

11/25/2007 3:42:07 PM

KARATAY

It's been said, but, seriously, Crossfit is the best you'll find around here. If you sign their longest contract, it gets it down to $100 a month, but that's for either Brazilian Jujitsu or Muay Thai (my favorite) with equipment and gym access. The instructor is awesome, they go to lots of competitions, and they also coordinate with a lot of the other local gyms. Like, the BJJ class has no problem bugging the local judo guys if they need someone better at throwing. That kind of thing.
Jason is a really good BJJ instructor, and Mike and Anne do a FANTASTIC job at the Muay Thai class. Seriously, that's where you'll find the most quality instruction around here.

11/26/2007 1:19:16 PM
