Kye 77 Posted April 13, 2005 Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 I went to have a look at a local Dojo yesterday, and apart from being the ONLY fecker down there that spoke any english, i had a good time. I trained for four hours, and it was 98F in side!...No "Air-Con" at all!! It nearly killed me!...The good side is i lost five pounds in four hours, but most was just fluid of course...it took it out of me though i can tell yah! Ive not done much ground work, so i wanted to train in grappling to give me an "Even" level of forms. Its so different though, its gonna take me a fair while to get the hang of this to be honest!..lol..They wouldnt take any money or nothing, they just said keep coming back and we will just sort summat out...Nice! It was quite a small Dojo, but they had a "Octogon" and a boxing ring. I have learnt my lesson though...TAKE A FECKING DRINK NEXT TIME!...lol. All the best,.. Kye..

Kye 77 Posted April 13, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2005 Well i hope they do well mate! To be honest, the BJJ guys dont like getting whacked in the face much, but imo, its the best grappling form out there...I had to restrain myself from just "Swinging" at them most of the time, but im there to LEARN there style, not win a silly fight, so punching them in the head at every oppertunity probably 'aint a great idea!..lol... :aggressive: ..lol.

Kye 77 Posted April 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2005 Hi Tomo,.. The guy who runs it is called Ricado Pehrez (spl??) they have some good fighters come out of that gym,...one in the UFC, a couple in Pride, and a few in Rage in the Cage...So i dont know if there a Gracie influence or not?...i would think there was though. Yeah, its pretty tough, and the heat dont help much! Kye.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
