Tom,

What’s the first rule about Fight Club?

Tom, I’d definitely be interested. I’d certainly be one of the beginner types, but I’ll do my best not to suck. If nothing else you can throw my fat ass around the mat for a while. Anyway, maybe you could shoot me an email with the details: carl.young@duke.edu.

Thanks for the invitation.

Ashley it’s really informal but we roll mostly no-gi. Nick (CEO of the company and Tim Kennedy’s pummeling dummy for his last fight against Zak Cummings) and I will sometimes work gi/Army uniform tops since I want to fight in some of the Army tournaments, but not much. Mostly just rash guards and shorts.

As to Muay Thai I did that in college but have no idea about a gym around here

That said, we have a Thai Heavy bag hanging here at the warehouse I wouldn’t trust me to really teach you anything, but if you want to do some bag work it’s here.

tom – is it gi or no gi? i’d be interested too! i did some bjj before i left forged, but haven’t rolled since. while we’re on the topic, do you know of anyone who teaches muay thai in durham? i haven’t been able to fight either since i left forged and i really miss it.

Tripp if you’re ever interested we do submission grappling (BJJ/wrestling/little bits of sambo and judo) at the Ranger Up warehouse a couple times a week. We have a pretty large mat space and we’re always cool with people who don’t suck (ie all fellow crossfitters) coming and working out with us. We also have a lot of beginers who come in from time to time, Allison and Sa Sa have both rolled with us before so you can ask them.

You’d have to sign a waiver but outside of that man if you want I can let you know the next time we’re on the mats.
