The fact that Praxis Gym isn't on there makes me want to kick you in the balls.

[guardpasser]

tinker and zicherja
you have pm's

 

[John O'Brien]

Guardpasser, what belt do you hold? You're experience to say the least.

 

[guardpasser]

4 stripe blue, i dont get a lot of training due to traveling, i have ben the same level for two years.
i do get to visit a lot of places, so it keeps the interest up.

 

[jjmuaythaiguy]

i will probably be at a lot more places next year while traveling.
i will update my list as it happens. i talked to phil while in austin, he is coming out to the hawaii acadamy soon, watch out for the triangles. he is the master of them.

Ok Charles, thanks for the warning. I got to make sure and ask Relson which escape works better for his triangle. Only two I know of that works with awesome triangle guys.

 

[Blake Bowman]

ttt for my updated list.

With this new job I have, my training list is going to expand. Before summer, I already have plans to visit Matt Serra, ATT, Jorge Gurgel, and Cobra Kai.


Anyone else have any ideas of good academies?
