Martial Arts around University of Chicago

[Taomonkey]

I'm going to be in Chicago for a week next month, at the University of Chicago. I would like to train with some one when I'm there. Any reccomendations?

[Water Dragon]

You're more than welcome to come play with us.

Shuai Chiao, Muay Thai, BJJ, San Shou. What's your flavor?

[Taomonkey]

Where are you located? Any places near the Wrigley Building. I wont have a car, and will depend on PT.

[Water Dragon]

We train in North West Indiana.

If you want to go to Shuai Chiao/Sand Shou, Crippled Avenger lives about 4 blocks from the U of C and can scoop you up.

If you want to do Mauy Thai/BJJ you can take the train from 59th Street. It drops you off 1/2 block form the gym.

[Taomonkey]

tell me more about this "Crippled Avenger"

[Water Dragon]

Not much to say really. He's just some whiny little punk who started hanging around. Every time I throw him, he runs into the corner to cry while sucking his thumb.

But his mom gives me a check every month to be his friend, so I can't really tell him to go away. It is my understanding that the poor schmuck has no friends.

Oh yeah! He also posts here. His version of the story might be a little different than mine. But you don't want to believe him. I always tell the truth. Even when I lie.

WDs funniest post to date.. which isn't that hard I guess, but this is pretty darn funny.;)

[Taomonkey]

Then why would I want to go train with him,, ? Or do you think I would enjoy whippin up on him.

[Water Dragon]

If you come by to train, and let him win, I think I can get his momma to write you a check.

*ganders around*

where's crippy? :confused: pitching someone **** isn't as much fun if they aren't around to get splattered by it.

[CrippledAvenger]

Sorry boys,

I've been real busy with work and conditioning this weekend.

Anyhow, I think WD's just jealous 'cause he recently found out his wife's been paying ME to go easy on him because he's an old man. Make him feel like he's winning, she tells me.

And this is the thanks I get? :p

[throws gas on fire]

c'mon, crippy, you gotta be more offensive than that.

also, how much did she dock you in pay for breaking his toe?

STFU! I broke the little toe on the same foot Thursday night.

Thanks for stirring up THAT painful memory

[CrippledAvenger]

It's his womanly legs, I tell ya. All that shaving makes the bones softer.

;)

[rubthebuddha]

****it, WD, we told you to stop breaking your toes. you're going to be confused with a judoka soon if you keep this up. :(

[CrippledAvenger]

Well, seeing as we only do "bad Judo" (tm), that's to be expected.

:rolleyes:

:D

[rubthebuddha]

if it's bad judo, does that mean you guys should have more or fewer broken toes? :confused:

i'm just talkin hypothetically. don't step on WDs toes just to prove a point. :p

[CrippledAvenger]

It's not my fault that half of my leg is made of metal. Take that up with the Loyola University rugby squad. ;)

It's all good. WD uses his reach advantage really well in sparring, so I get popped in the face a lot for every broken toe.

I really gotta work on my footwork. :o

[rubthebuddha]

It's not my fault that half of my leg is made of metal. you sure you don't want to do muay thai instead? :D

Oh, I do. :D Makes checking kicks a lot of fun!

[SevenStar]

How much does a metal leg cost these days? I could use a couple.

[SevenStar]

Sweep from Spider Guard. I got my toe caught between the mat and the other guys knee.
