if anyone from the Boston are goes to any of these gyms, I'd love to hear a review....
I use to train at Brazilian Martial Arts Center in Sommerville (up the street from Sityodtong) for about 3 years....got laid off and couldnt affort to go....gained about 20lbs and now looking to get back into training.....I've been training the last 5 months about once or twice a week with a Cambodian guy who teaches Pradal Serey(basically muay thai) but I really want to start training grappling again....BMAC is now to overpriced and they charge you for a belt test in everything from Muay Thai to no gi about once a month so thats out.....I got a crazy work schedule that changes almost monthly, different days off all the time, working days then workin nights so I wanted a place that had a real flexible schedule.....I've never trained with the gi either and I want to try that....there's also one of the best boxing gyms around right in my city, they win at the New England Golden Gloves all the time, but I'd only be able to got once a week, and if you're not their 6 times a week, they wont even look at you...its an old school Latin boxing gym
I've heard Sityodtong is the best muay thai gym around but can get crowded....schedule wise I'd be able to go a decent amount of the time...but the price is a little steep
Wai Kru has the best schedule around, decent price, and all the stand up and grappling you can get but I've heard nothing but bad things about that gym on this site...dont know why people say its so garbage, their fighters seem to clean up at the local grappling events and do pretty well in local mma....plus I think John Howard and Sean Gannon train there...John use to be one of the trainers at BMAC when I first went and he as the man, madd humble and easy to learn from
Red Line Fight Sports has a similar schedule to Wai Kru, the price is the best I've seen so far......they are mainly a San Da gym but have incorporated grappling....facility is sick but I just havent heard that much about them, I know their main trainer Marvin is one of the best San Da fighters in the country....thier fighters do pretty well at muay thai to...only draw back is no BJJ
I know most of you will say go try a class at each gym and thats what I plan on doing, but I just wanted to see if anyone had any personal opinions on training at any of these gyms
