UFC gym

I doubt you're ready to get jumped in

Unless you have a specific desire to pursue MMA, there is absolutely no reason to join one of those over-priced gyms.

Is there a Sonic near by?

One of the best decisions I've ever made was joining this gym in the fall. No, you don't have to want to learn how to fight to join. That's absurd. They have heavy bag classes & other fitness classes, which are the main draw to it. The bag classes (boxing & kickboxing) are incredible, and you will lose a lot of weight fast & really add definition to your muscles if you go 3-4 times per week. IMO, they are the best thing going as far as group fitness classes. If you join, you have access to both gyms in BR. I'm a little partial to Sherwood bc it's closer to my home & a little bigger, but Acadian is awesome, too.

And no, there are no jersey shore type dbags lurking there. No meatheads, either. The coaches are all awesome, and the vibe is great. I started off just doing bag classes for about 6 months, then took private boxing lessons, then started going to the advanced striking/sparring classes. It's turned into my new hobby.

I encourage you to give it a try. Everyone I've put into it loves it.

Yeah, my 7yr old son started taking the youth BJJ classes this summer & loves it. So he'll do that while I'm taking a bag class, which is great. I'll probably start BJJ at some point, but I'm pretty heavily into boxing right now, so I'll stick with that for a while.

What are the pricing options?

10 years pretty impressive,

just curious what belt are you?

I just started judo not long ago, but want to learn some jiu jitsu too. kinda hard going to school full time and still being a new dad.

i want to learn so that my daughter can learn when she gets older

What are you trying to achieve?

I went there for 4 years until I moved and it was no longer convenient. Got in great shape. I was running 21 minute 5ks without training and the leanest I've ever been. Never touched the mma side of the house. However their head coach is a legit mma fighter, the owner is a legit competitor in grappling. They love the sport and it was a good place to be. Got to meet Shawn Jordan, Rocco Rodriguez and a couple of other UFC guys whose names I've forgotten. I went to both locations as it's the same owner.

I do crossfit now days. Was a better value than crossfit at about $80 monthly.

I'm the same. Was in martial arts. Judo, tang soo do, hapkido. It was like getting in shape plus nostalgia at UFC gym. Plus I met folks that were somewhat famous to me.
