If Bas's system is as good as his big books of combat, I would recommend giving it a go.

I am definately going to one of the classes to see how is it. I really need to work on sparring and ground-fighting.

You should see if you can find bas's technique video on youtube for the roundhouse kick. I've been doing thaiboxing for a couple of years, and when I switched to his technique for the roundkick I kicked the heavybag so hard that I raised a hematoma on my shin.

I'm not really familiar with Bas or any of his techniques but I will definately look for the videos on youtube. From what I understand, these classes are not like fight club so I'm not entirely sure how its suppose to go. I will keep ya posted.

Cool. The long and short is that Bas was a dutch kickboxer who got into pancrase and then full on MMA. He started off as a great striker, but developed an excellent ground game once he saw a need for it. He also has the hardest recorded kicks in combat sports.

Ah ok. Yeah, now I am excited for this class. I've been taking a ground-fighting class at my school, I'm still not very comfortable with it yet.

Bas Rutten Fight Club started this week but I think I am not going until this Saturday. Went to KM class monday and tonight was KM ground-fighting. Went to the gym and did a little bit of cardio and lifted weights today as well. Probably will go to the gym in the morning before pre-work naptime.

[Invictus]

Driving out to NJ with some friends/training partners for a catch wrestling seminar with the great Billy Robinson. I'm excited.

[KatRN05]

So I never made it to the Bas Rutten class on Saturday, ended up passing out on the couch. So I will go this week on Tuesday. The only thing that sucks is that it's at 8:30pm and an hour or so after KM class which I plan to attend to. Gonna go to kickboxing and KM this morning. I went to the gym yesterday and lifted weights and did a little bit of cardio.

Ive been too lazy too long. Time to hit the gym hard tomorrow.

[Invictus]

Back in the gym getting smacked around by professional fighters as of yesterday. Hoping to start dedicated boxing and wrestling training soon. Also, lost a couple more lbs. Feeling good.

[KatRN05]

Went to KM class and then a Bas Rutten class an hour after that. I ended up just observing the last part of the class because it was just 4 guys and me and they were doing body strikes. When we were doing the 1 to 4 combinations with Thai pads, my instructor said he was impressed. I still need to work on my striking though.

Is hitting the gym with the boyfriend after school .

Also want to learn capoeira, but have a feeling I'm going to have issues finding anywhere to do it. That's what the internet and a large basement is for though, right? I just figure if I'm going to be a breakdancer and a fighter, well that's just an easy decision.

Someday I want to learn jujitsu or silat. I don't care much for my judo class, it's too much of a sport for my taste.

[Musashi]

Kung-fu, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, and tai chi! Though I haven't been able to get to class in a while due having to adjust to me new work schedule (midnights) and getting used to the physicality of the job (loading/unloading/sorting many heavy boxes all night)...and financial issues. Gah! Why can't I pay for lessons by washing a car or something like Ralph Macchio? So I suppose I've still been getting a good workout. Been working the last 6 days in a row and good god am I sore in every part of my body. Thank god for 2 days off for recovery! Gonna get back on track soon though. I really miss kung-fu class :(

Capoeira: elegant, acrobatic, quick .....

and absolute useless in combat.

And that is why Krav Maga is better. At least, that is what I think.

Went to ground-fighting yesterday. Been the only girl who has been going to that class consistently for the last 6 weeks. Yay me! Went to the gym early this morning. KM class tonight and then a break this weekend as I'm already sore.

[Invictus]

Conditioning, muay thai, sub wrestling, yoga. Exhausted.

[KatRN05]

Rest is good. Rest is our friend.

Congrats!!! You still doing DDR too?

[Invictus]

I start 20-rep squats tomorrow to regain some of the muscle I lost while down with pneumonia. Not sure if I'm gonna do 2x a week for 8 weeks, or 3x a week for 6 weeks. Wish me luck.
