well, what i meant by "it wasn't too good" was that they were all really advanced, and didn't seem the leat bit interested in having "new" people come in. like, we would be wasting their time, because we weren't at a higher level. that's what i meant. and i wouldn't want to go somewhere with a philosophy like that anyway. yeah, please let me know what you think of the class. i'm almost positive that's where i'll be going, and that's what i'll be taking. I just enroled in the new semester for college, so i'm waiting about 2 more weeks- college people know we're broke all broke right now. lol. anyway- thanks again, and let me know.

ok i posted before about looking for a place to start kickboxing training. The origional place i looked into wasn't good at all. (well fo me anyway- they were all advanced) Anyway, i found a place that teaches Krav Maga kick boxing. i'm new to all this, but i haven't come across this type. Has anyone tried it? if so, what can you tell me- and do you reccomend it? one thing that sounded really cool about this place, is that you pay a flat rate for classes. For $70.00 you can take anywhere from 1 to 10 one hour classes a week for my level (total beginner.) they also have a cardio kickboxing class just for fitness or whatever- which i mentioned before sounded good. and it's also included in the price. so- anyone know anything about Krav Maga? thanks again in advance.

You are alla big help. i'm taking a beginner Akido class right now- andwith all due respect, i'm learning alot- but it's just not "hard-core" enough for me. And truthfully the only reason i'm taking it was because i was under the impression we'd learn to attack as well as defend. However i do plan to stick with it for awhile to get a decent foundation of another art. (my college offers this) i'm currently looking in to a class at a MA school near by. i've heard that they have a REALLY good reputation- a black belt in one of my classes said that the kickboxing classes there "kicked his ass". sounds good. they are also endorsed by the "international Kickboxing Federation." (or something like that? you'd know better than me. haha) i'm going to stop by there next week and hopefully even watch a class. Also, there classes are a minimum of 2x a week- which is cool because i really want to train, and once a week just doesn't seem like enough. if you don't mind, i'll try and get some info and run it by you.

hi. i'm new here, so i'm really sorry if this is asked a million times already- i didn't see it in my breif look. i have wanted to kickbox for years and years. But i never had the opportunity. now i actually have the chance to go for it and take it seriously. Anyway- what can you all tell me to give me a heads up? any tips at all would be great- as far as what to expect, or any tips you've picked up along the way. also, i'd like to know what to look for in a quality school. i want to steer clear from nonsense classes. i want to learn, and learn well...so how will i know? ah- sorry all these questions- i also thought about taking a cardio kick boxing class at my college- not for the training, but i thought it'd be good for endurance and just basic working out- will this in any way help me out? or is Cardio kick boxing a waste of time? by the way- yes i am female, and i know this will be intense training. i'm not just looking for excercize- i want to learn to fight and fight hard. And i know i can handle it. (i hate when guys tell me it's "hard" and "i might get "hurt"- whatever.) so with that said- please give me your knowlege. thank you- thank you- thank you in advance.
