    Default Anyone here go to Knuckle Up?

    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?

    well, i got that because i thought some of my other neihbors were italian.. and they were all speaking... well what i thought was italian! and his name is raphael! lol.... my bad...

    that's bad, i'll ask him about it next time i see him out.. that'd be unreal to go watch.

    and he still is driving a black teg from what i have seen.. he's got a friend with a purple(maybe 350 z) and another with a red ej.... but unless i'm mistaken i've seen him in the teg recently...

    Joining the gym would be the first step at helping you get to that goal.

    You should check out the low carb diet. I was working out costantly at the gym and didn't lose a pound. When I got on that diet I dropped 15 pounds in about a month.

    Trust me unless you have ever had any martial arts experience you will most likely look like a tool no matter what you do

    Don't worry about looking like a tool. Most people do anyways. Just take the kick boxing class. It's a big group and no one is looking at you. I like boxing, that's usually a smaller more intimate group of people. Either way, it's an amazing work out and fun. You will lose weight fast as hell. That's why I like it so much, that and I'm a really competitive person the the class environment make me push harder than if I trained alone.

    i don't but my friend does
    i'd love to learn to box... i go the gym on the daily and am on a football training workout right now. BUT its simply to get bigger and involves no training for an actual sport.

    i would really like to start getting more endurance and agility by doing the boxing, not to mention learn to take down someone in a rough spot

    Is it just boxing classes, or is it a gym as well?

    I don't know of the 2 guys you mentioned. I went back in the day. I stopped last march after 3 years. Today is going to be my first day back since then. I used to train in the Midtown location only, so I have only been to that one so far.

    A few of my friends go to the Midtown location, I am waiting for the one in Alpharetta to open so I can go there.

    www.knuckleupfitness.com I know they just opened one up out of state but not sure where. BTW, I just got back from class and I almost puked! It's crazy how fast you can get out of shape if you don't stick with it. I used to take 3 classes a day (each 1 hour) andf then lift weights for an hour 6 days a week. I did that because I didn't feel the burn unless I did 4 hours a day. The first 15 minutes today ad I almost fell out!

    yea i was scoping the site just a second ago
    didn't find anything though about out of state gym.

    i'm leaving in august so it would be pointless for me to get a membership there now. if i find something of similarity where i'm going i'll sign up. for now i guess i'm going to continue to go to my gym and just keep on building muscle mass.

    i'll def try the free one week trial though at some point this summer, which one of the fighting styles is a fun one to do for a week

    I've have been thinking about this, but can't find a price on membership anywhere. How much are y'all paying a month?

    $100 start-up if you sign up the day you take a freebie class, $200 otherwise
    then it breaks down by contracts and sports
    the only one i know is muay thai, and that's $79/month for a 2 year, $69/month for a 3 year, and they take $10 off per month if you're a student(and brought a valid student ID)

    EH.. second rate gym.. it's like the Bally Total fitness of Martial Arts..

    They do seem to put out some pretty good stand up fighters though.. i guess cause it's so popular.. if you want to take something like BJJ Alliance is a much better gym for that.

    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.

    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.
