Sounds like a decent job. I'd like to get in on that.

Was like 60 a month when I went. They're good teachers. Look them up. They used to do the first 2 lessons free. Not sure if they still do it that way though since I have not been in a while.

Hybrid is the place to go! I loved it there. If you want practical real life application then go there. Not knocking karate and Kung-Fu as arts it’s just kicks and punches from a distance don’t mean dick in the real world if go up against a person that knows grappling... good examples can be seen in UFC 1-6 where pro boxers and 1 millionth degree black belts 6 different animal types of this style and that got schooled by Gracie the bjj guy and Dan Severn the wrestler.

Hybrid makes you start with Judo, which is on mon and wed before you can do bjj. You can doing the boxing without either though. There is a reason for everything and the reason for this is because your bjj means dick if you can’t get them to the ground...

On a side note I’m looking for people that want to wrestle... I don’t have time in my schedule right now to go to Hybrid, but the exercise from wrestling is amazing... anyone know if the Roanoke college club still meets? Anyone know of a gym that has open mats that will let you use them?

Back up. I think I am going to Hybrid. Sounds like the most reasonable and the best "real life" kind of things to learn.
