Anyone here go to Knuckle Up?

[Hundo®]

How is unit 2 doing now that Raphael and Junior left?

Those knocking on Knuckle up I ask you. How many fighter from aliance have made it into UFC or IFL?

Knuckle up has 2 in UFC (Junior and Diego) and 1 in IFL (James). Plus Khupon is world renowned Muay Thai fighter. He has over 200 fights with 80-90% win rate.

alliance's muay thai instructor is world renowned, winning world and thai championships.

As far as BJJ, they sweep almost every competition they attend.

The muay thai fighters at Alliance are all older and not interested in competing.

Same goes for knukle up.
I have heard that, but not followed up on checking the truth behind the rumor. No doubt in my mind they are a good gym.

I went to knuclke up because they offer more I was interested in, it's much closer, and my friends go there.

yea, i did do my research he's nasty :p, knuckle up is like a the buddies gym, it's got a TON of members and many locations, it's a fun thing to do with friends, and it's much cheaper than alliance.. about $50 ;p, but like i said, all the instructors there are not as well trained.. so you can only learn so much.. it's a good exersice though im sure, and you'll learn some self defense.

Cool,
I am still waiting for Alpharetta to open. It should have been open since November, but something about construction is delaying it.

[Glides]

My good friend is GM of the new one in Sandy Springs. Nice place.

[Ericp]

I wish there were more good gyms here on the southside. I went to one gym down here for a little while but found out pretty quick that it wasn't any good. I can't drive an hour every day to go train, I just don't have the time

[Tracy]

I go for exercise Not because I want to kill someone in the ring. I would agree there is prolly onlu so much you can learn there if you are looking for more than exercise. I've been going to Knuckle Up for years (since they were LA Boxing) and I have had my issues with them in the past. I have done research on what I am looking for and in the end what they have going on suits me the best. They also have several locations which works good for me. Sometimes I have to workout after the shop and sometimes I workout when I'm close to home.

I'm starting back today bitches! I missed it so much. I used to box for 3 years and I loved it (some of you might remember when I used to challenge everyone to box me). I stopped when we started traveling so much.

So who else goes and which one?

i use to box back when i was in high school.. from 9-12 and even after i got out.. but now i dont do it ask much but i still love the sport...

I've been wanting to check the 1 out by my house(Plesant Hill)since my trainer moved but I heard(just a rumor) that they were kinda asses there.
I just HEARD I'm not saying it's true

They can be asses. Like I said, I have been going for on and off for like 4 years and I know all too well about what you have heard. I go for the exercise and they have what I like as far as that goes.

[quickdodge®]

I go to this real swank belt shop every now and then. It's called Buckle Up. Later, QD.

[The Ren]

If It were closer I'd so go.. but my membership with golds is too good right now.. because of the hook up with my job we all got hookups with the Ga Force... 19.99 per month (monthly contract) with golds

[ridgeline_06]

I went today and even though Im ex military and stay in shape it kicked my butt. I goto the duluth one.

[Humphrizzle]

I'm kinda training for UFC right now.. I'm a little big to get in the ring with you Tracy.

But if you still want to spar, I'm down.

[ridgeline_06]

Im 6'1 and 210 lbs Im trying to get as much musle mass and stamina as I can. In the military I would run 2 miles in unber 10 mins and do over 100 pushups in 2 mins and over 100 situps in 2 mins. I was only 180 lbs then. Im trying to get back to that fitness level. I was told alst night I hit hard like a RHINO but my form is off.

[Humphrizzle]

yeah i weigh 215 and want to weigh 200 and get a little bigger.

watch UFC and learn.

I train myself.

[ridgeline_06]

Well I've hired one of their fighters to train me. Costly but it will be life changing.

[Humphrizzle]

theres another way to go.

[ridgeline_06]

Im going back tomorrow at 12:30

[ridgeline_06]

How much do you guys pay? I think its gonna be $99 a month for me.

[BigBoosting]

I go to the one in Sandy Springs

[Tracy]

BTW, fuck Knuckle Up. I have been fucked ONCE AGAIN by them after trying to give them a chance.

[ridgeline_06]

What happened?

[wantboost]

yea what happened??? i used to train there 4 times a week and never had any problems.

[Tracy]

I trained there for 3 years 6 days a week and had nothing but problems.

[wantboost]

odd.... but then again i have really only dealt with the instructors.

[Pinkgirl]

What kind of problems? and why would you do it for sooo long if all you had was problems?

[Tracy]

There is this thing that they have....called a contract You make the best out of it once you are locked in. If I have to pay $79/month, I'm going to use it. I enjoyed the classes and the concept of the classes. I didn't enjoy the owners attitude and the constant inorganization. I didn't enjoy that they constantly changed class schedules and couldn't keep a trainer if their life depended on it. Once you found a class and instructor you liked...it changed. I didn't like that after going there for 3 years (3 months short of the end of my contract) I moved and as per my contract if it was 30 miles or more away from a training center you could be out of the contract and they wouldn't abide by that and continued to charge my card. I had to dispute it with the cc company for months until the bank finally sided with me once looking over my contract.

There's more that I don't feel the need to get into nor do I care all that much. Same ol' different day. I'm in the process of trying to work out my most recent problem with my new account. Some of it was my fault for giving someone who worked there cash to sign me up for an account at the shop....and now they don't work there anymore (as of my trip to LA). My account never made it into the system although I went for new classes for a month and it was "in the system" somehow for that time period. I take responsibility for giving up the cash and trusting that I would be handled. I went to the gym and they were all aware that this person had come to my shop to set me up with the account since they asked me about who I was the next day after "setting up the account". So now I have no account and I am out of my money.

BTW, where did you come from and did you sign up just to make this post? Do you work for them? I ask this because you didn't introduce yourself and on your 3rd post after a "boobs" and another 2 word post ask me a question about this with a rude undertone....which seems typical of knuckle up attitude.

i see, the contract thing would piss me off also, and as for being able to keep instructors, i understand what you are talking about. One last question, did you go there for kickboxing/personal training. only reason i ask is those are the only classes i have no clue about.

I took one PT class which was included in my contract..."one free PT class". It was fine. $70/hr so I never signed up for one that I had to pay for. I guess it prolly depends on the trainer you get.

Tracy go to Tiger Academy...they always kick Knuckle Ups asses at the Fights...
