So Ladies and Gentlemen, I am 23 years old 5'11 walking around at 165lbs. I'm planning on moving out of Northern California here by the end of February. My main priority is to find a MMA gym that has more of a traditional Martial Arts philosophy similar to SBG(Mcgregors gym) or AMC Kickboxing(Mighty Mouses gym). I began my journey with Tae Kwon Doe, Boxing, and Jiu Jitsu. Over the years I've gone to quite a few gyms around here and they all teach Muay Thai which I love and have a ton of respect for, however I really in vision myself reaching much more success where I have a striking coach bringing more of my athletic ambidextrous style out with me always moving on the balls of my feet, throwing quick hands and lots of creative striking techniques. So far I've only found John Kavanagh and Matt Hume to really have a different approach with more of a eastern philosophy behind their methods. I know there has to be more head trainers like them out there. So any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank You.
 
A traditional martial arts philosophy and Bruce Lee's philosophy are two different things.
 
good point, yah your right.
Well you guys understand what I'm looking for though right?
 
Move to Seattle and settle in. Great ammy scene around here and the casinos pay well for up and coming pros
 
or any gyms along the pacific coast really.
I just noticed a lot gyms in SD where theres also a lot of other things i'm attracted to in the area.
 
Do you have a video of your athletic ambidextrous mayhem?

If that is what you want, it starts with you.

Coaching and gyms are overrated.
 
No I agree, and I have been, the majority of my training is self taught and self motivated by myself. However I know if I have the right group of trainers and partners around me, I'll become the fighter I'm destined to be. I obviously haven't found that yet, and I'm running out of time. To make it more clear, this is what I in-vision as a perfect training environment for myself.
A head trainer with more of a mind and body martial arts approach
Decent amount of 145-170lbers to spar with
A head trainer that doesn't agree with sparring sessions at 100%
CREATIVE STRIKING COACH
Pretty open schedule mornings & nights
A master of gaurd Jiu Jitsu Instructor
On the smaller scale(not crowded)
Showers/Lockers would be nice
Preferably on the west coast

I agree with it starting with me, which I've been doing, creating sort of my own style, but having the right gym and trainer that you really click with is important as well.

But it's in Glendale, CA which is in SoCal though.

But there's your traditional MMA coach who trained a number of great MMA fighters including Travis Browne and of course Olympic medalist Ronda Rousey
 
Glendale fight club did catch my eye, and here I thought Edmund was only into Boxing.
Any other suggestions?
 
After watching Inside MMA-Inside american gyms. I think Duke Roufus and Roufus sports look like exactly what I'm looking for. Quite a few fighters there with a Tae Kwon Doe backround, and roufus knows how to bring everything together.
So far AMC and roufus sports look like a good fit,but damn, Milwaukee seems far, still open to any suggestions on something closer on the west coast.
