Hey guys I need your advice.
I have a friend who I chat with on-line who lives near Preston, Idaho and he's been looking to get into martial arts. Not really kung fu but something more like MMA. He saw an ad on local TV for a guy that looked pretty solid so he went to check out the school. Apparently, this guy fought for a couple of years in "the Octagon."( I'm not sure what that is? ) Anyways, they offered a free class and my friend and his younger brother went to go check it out. According to my friend the instructor had him throw a couple kicks at him and had him try for a grab. The instructor blocked all his incoming attacks like nothing.....3x in a row. My friends not a big guy but according to him he's been training to be a cage fighter for a while so I believe what he says. Anyways, my friend said the guy was kind of a pri!ck (called my friends brother Peter Pan!) and dressed all "Red, White and Blue" ......but overall he was pretty impressed. It costs about $300 bucks for the intro course, which seems pricey but it might be worth it? Have any of you guys heard of this guy? I think his first name was Ray or Rob or something that starts with an R. Lives in Idaho..... fought in the Octagon? Does it ring a bell?
If you guys do know him or have heard of him maybe you could PM me and keep your replies off the main forum. We certainly don't want anybody to get their feathers ruffled. ;)
Thanks in advance.
