If you plan on going to knuckle up to get in shape, that's fine, great place to go. However, if you plan on competing, it's not the place to be. I've attended classes at knuckle up and alliance, and i stuck with the obvious choice for competition. Depends what your goals are.
This is simply NOT true, and a lot of pro fighters would take exception to that statement, so I would be careful to not offend people. What do you base this on, because MANY of their head instructors, including Diego Saraiva, Rafael Assuncao, and Junior Assuncao, all came from the KU camp, and made it to the big show, the UFC/WEC. Bernard Rutherford was signed with the IFL before they shut their doors a few months ago, and Steve Headden was invited and training regularly with Quinton Jackson, Michael Bisping, and Chieck Kongo for all their biggest fights, including Rampage's fight with Dan Henderson. All of the above were head coaches at KU, and very solid, so saying that it's not a place to go to if you wanna compete is simply not true.
