Thread: Attn Temeura

Mate, remembered you saying there was nowt in Reading in the way of MMA, BJJ etc. A lad I know was living in Reading and has just moved down to Brighton, mentioned a few places: 3D Muay Thai do private lessons and have a gym opening soon. If you get yourself down to Kik sports apparently they have loads of flyers for local martial arts training and the guys there will point you in the right direction (apparently it's a shop in town that sells TMA, MMA and boxing gear). Apparently there some place called pinewood that has a really good amateur boxing school.

Just thought it may be of interest, if you're looking to get back on track then you could do worse than getting to the boxing club if nothing else!

Yeah, I know where Kik Sports is.

To be honest, I am moving to Slough in just over a month, so it doesn't seem worth it to join a new club now.

I have never fancied boxing, I just have a preconception that it would be full of chavvy, thug types. I am sure I'm wrong.

Oooh, that cuts to my very soul! Boxing clubs are great! As long as you put the work in you'll get SO much back. And no, I'm not a chav.... LOL

gotta agree work hard and boxing is a top workout....hoddies in my old club but their too knackered to hassle ya:laugh:

Met some of my best friends at Hove boxing club and worked harder in that gym than I've ever done in my life

Atleast you admitted it is a preconception lol....

Yeah, I am sure I'm wrong.

Maybe I'm just a snob, but I can handle a few chavvy types but I just don't fit in all that well. It's just that I'm a Guardian reading, art-house film watching, Rugby fan. We never seem to have much to talk about.

haha to be honest from my experience of mooching around different clubs in boxing, muay, bjj and so on i've majorally found in built up working class areas such as Salford/wythenshawe it is the skinhead chav looking young lads that frequent the boxing/muay thai places, and the uni student looking young lads that frequent the traditional MA places... Why? I've put it down to those two styles being based on stand-up which one would deem to be more aggressive/violent whereas with the TMA styles such as Jiujitsu/judo/karate this attracts a more articulate creative type of person?

Who knows, main point is: try to train in what the chavs doin and what the oxford grad is doin...
