Thread: How do you train?

    I just think i am a kung fu crackhead.. I study at a school but a buddy of mine is the same so we found a cheap space and now we work out 6 days a week.

    1000 reps of dougnuts is fine as long as you are using internal chi eating methods.

    im still relatively young. ive decided i need to get as much fighting in as i can while i am young . you know, before i get old and take a lot longer to heal. I need to get it in while i still can.
    You know, all the shows with the UFC fighters, most of them have private muay thai / kickboxing / boxing trainers.

    Why aren't there any private TMA trainers? You know, people you can just go do drills and apps with.

    it is hard to find people that are willing to get busy and work hard.

    pan, Just go visit other school be polite and respectful and they will let you spar. just make sure you are in good shape cuz they will throw their best at you. but there is alot to learn from a good ass whooping. I have more respect for the guy that gets his clock cleaned and keeps going back for more.

    Wait, why would you rent a space for just you and your buddy to work out in?
    You still go to your school right?
    How long do you work out together?

    I can see this happening. Not a lot of schools offer training 6-7 days a week, and may not allow you to use the facilities on off class times.

    renting a space with a MA friend is a great idea to keep the ability to have a MA focused location to keep training on your schools off time.

    check out my space has some shots of our gym. Kung fu class is just that. we like to fight and try to apply everything in live traing. the gym just adds more to my kung fu. you can punch at the air all you like but hitting bags and live targets gives you a whole different type of training.

    Any recommendations on finding somebody that wants to train, though, and not just chat and stuff?

    Also, how do you deal with liability on a place like that, did you get some kind of slip and fall policy?

    just net work, you have got to have some friends that are like minded. heck post on here for your area wharehouse space is cheap if you look around. " build it and they will come" we welcome all styles if it works in a fight then its good enough for us most everbody has something to share. Our 1 friend is a boxer another body builder me and my guy do 7* and we have a few people that just like to come work out and hit the bags. anything is possible just make it happen.

    our waiver is like 3 pages long. plus is private club only. not open to the public.
