Unit 2 Fitness Roberto Traven FTW!

Or at Least go to Alliance

then that means you were substituting it with something else like sugars.

anatomically, it doesn't make sense
less carbs means less energy if not substituted with another nutrient

Negative

you need to do a little more research on it. Sugars are carbs, it's low carb not no carb as well. In the low carb diet you are given a number of "low glycemic" carbs you can intake per day. Follow that regimine and you will have no problem.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Smart man,
I'm not really into submission just sweeps and defense on the ground. I would rather ground and pound the hell out of someone than submitt. This does not mean I wouldn't submitt I just prefer beating the snot out of a person. At this point in my life I have no desire to compete. I have prior military injuries that would prevent me from or at least would not be wise to compete. I just do it for my own accord and love of the sport.

yea, i did Muay thai for the longest and went to MMA and got rolled by some kid who knew BJJ :[, so once i learn how to avoid all their trickery im going back to kicking people in the face with the fat of my shin :]

I think you can learn most of what there is to know about Muay Thai in a few years. BJJ on the other hand takes many years. I like to mix Kali into it because it combines both and I get to use weapons. You can always use the same moves in Kali without weapons as well. It's kind of like Krav Maga

you can learn alot from muay tha in a year or 2.. but you dont know how deadly it can be until you've trained for a very very long time, after you master technique it's all about striking the proper places and when to strike, the more you train the easier it is to one hit your opponent.. even the best of opponents.

True
A lot of the places I saw people get hit I.E. Elbow to the top of the head or base of the skull, underarm didn't make sense until I was struck there or saw someone else get hit there. A few of my friend have trained in Wing chun and are teaching me some of their moves. I'm king of excited about the 2 inch punch. My goal is to take a lil bit of everything and use it to my advantage.

yea, you'd be suprised how deadly a downward elbow to the top of someones head is.. so many quick ways to end a fight with muay thai, especially on a boxer or someone who tries to keep their distance to strike, people who try to move in close the distance and take you down, you have to have perfect timing and hit just the right spot or you're virtually fucked.

Yeah I have been watching a lot of Muay Boran videos and I must say I am quite impressed with the style. This is why I like Muay Thai and Kali so much. Both teach you to move in to the strikes instead of backing away. It's a bit difficult to get use to in the beginning stages due to taking the hit most of the time. Then when you learn to defend them you have a pretty good advantage on your opponent. This is one reason why I want to learn a few wing chun moves. It is another extreme close combat fighting style.

I train BJJ at the one in Douglasville. Used to train at the Roswell Rd. one and Midtown. But the new Douglasville one is 2 min from my house

Haven't been there, but I heard it was pretty big.

[Glides]

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

[SL33P3R]

Haven't been there, but I heard it was pretty big.

Nah its not very big. RIght now its a temporary building. They will start building the BIG one soon I belive. Im not sure when

[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

[Friggintitsman]

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

[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.

[Incomplete057]

Who was your instructor?

[cactusEG]

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...

[Incomplete057]

Who was your instructor?

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

[quickdodge®]

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

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.

[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.
