Boxing/SF in kilwinning/irvine area

[THEGREAT1]

i once had a post about this that mysteriosuly vanished so here goes again:P

i'm looking for a boxing club and some sort of submission fighting club in irvine or kilwinning or somewhere else suitably close to irvine.........

ideally my submission fighting would be jiujitsu but perhaps someone can persuade me there's superior arts to train in for this:p

i can't seem to find either of the above anywhere close by and hopefully someone can advise me where to look or who to contact :-)

Hmmmmmm..............

Taking a wild guess here and assuming its Irvine Scotland you mean.

Andy Murray - where are you?

[Andy Murray]

Eh? whassat?

Sorry, must have dozed off.

Springside Boxing club has a good rep. Train very hard.

I know of no sub clubs in the area at all, though Glasgows a different matter if you can get there.

Also check out Claurankwai Judo in Kilmarnock, they've been going for 40 years.


Zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Form member Elhiggito has just opened a club in Partick, Glasgow that will include submission grappling and boxing/ kickboxing.

I'll be there for a seminar on April 27th!

unfortunately they have moved and i am unsure how to get into contact with the guy anyway, as i only knew one guy who had gone there, and that was before they moved etc.

and to the rest, glsgow is a little far for me since i am poor student with no income:p

What is it you want to learn then?

We could look at hosting some people in Irvine.

As you'll already have gathered, the CMA taught in Irvine is primarily of an upright nature, and you're unlikely to get a good clout there unless you deserve it.

As opposed to picking up a scrap of this, and a scrap of that here n there willy nilly. I'd reccomend focussing your attention on what is available, from the highest quality of Instructor you can find.

What you will get/have gotten from Lau Gar and the CMA systems taught in Irvine by Fraser, include mobility, timing, awareness, blocking systems and striking fundamentals. A good foundation to add to when you find something else. I can't say I would personally reccomend much of anything in your area. Alan Currie's Thai clubs are ok, though the training methodology is not something I approve of.

I'm currently focussed on Wing Chun, and trying to pick up Doce Pares with Yoda, with a view to expanding what we do in Irvine in a few years. Fraser has been training Tai Chi, and the more Internal side of the CMA to give us a bit more depth.

Good Luck

i'm looking for 2 things from boxing...

firstly i fancy competing once i'm in condition etc and secondly i like the training generally done by boxers, it gets ya fittter than any other sport, and you develop speed/co-ordination and power..may be said of the other martial arts, but i wanna get a broad experience anyway.

i wanna test a number of arts, and make sure i have broad knowledge,
.....as for the tai boxing it's sumthin i've considered and am still considering.but my arms are in better condition than my legs so i prefer the noble art :P

/me is also an avid boxing fan:P

[Andy Murray]

Individuals don't test the art.

The art should test the individual!

[THEGREAT1]

hehe i wanna learn a variety then:P

[Andy Murray]

That's obviously your choice.

You've simply been offered free advice.

This forum is a good place to find out what you need!

Speak to Tommy in Irvine.
He has been training at a boxing gym, and might point you in the right direction.

I'll be in Irvine within the month, so if you're training regularly, no doubt we will speak.

Shin Conditioning!

A few of my training partners have done sessions with that group, so I've had the comment from a few people. I suppose it's pretty common in Thai though. I believe Alan's part of John Craigs group?

Sure bud - I'm sure we can sort something out.

[br00ster]

Andy,
I can't really comment on the shin conditioning as i've only just started!!!!
But if anyone asks me to roll anything up an down them or hit them with rolling pins or whatever i'll be looking elsewhere.




Yoda,
Nice one:D
