    Unit 2 Fitness Roberto Traven FTW!

    Or at Least go to Alliance
    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.

    True But you can only learn so much for a purple belt instructor.

    Heard to many horror stories about Knuckle up. I have seen Many kunckle up fighters loose in local fights (like Wild Bills) But there are a few with talent.

    With a little skill sponsers and money and the right chance anyone can make it there look at Hardcore Gym in Athens and Forrest Griffin.

    It's all good though bro.

    Indeed I have heard that Forrest's gym is pretty good. Purple belt is more than I have so I will learn what I can ya know?

    I figured I would be more BJJ oriented with my background, but I am actually much better at Muay Thai and Kali than anything. Kind of odd how that works out.

    Cool I am live way out in BFE (Dawsonville) so and I'm trying to find some people to spar with. Everyone I know only wants to box. Plus they all have tight schedules like I do. Friggin sucks man.

    i Train BJJ at alliance, i did muay thai for 7 years at a completely different place... i think im going to fully go back to muay thai after about a year of BJJ, i just want my ground game to be good enough to get out and keep out of whatever comes my way and be able to get up.

    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.
