Fiale Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Heya, Does anyone do any (or experience of) any martial arts/MMA in Bristol ? I need to get fit and to be honest I am finding the gym damned boring - I heard that a lot of martial art classes now offer fitness training within the discipline. I don't really want a contact class (though the option in the future if I enjoy the classes would be nice) but I need to start looking after myself more, and rowing machines, weight machines and pounding the treadmill is just boring the hell out of me. Thanks in advance for any ideas / experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I went tO an MMA class for a while and your right, they do focus on fitness and it was brilliant, highly recommend it. Unfortunately it wasn't in Bristol so can't recommend anywhere to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Do The Dziekanowski Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Why don't you pay £100's of pounds on a fitness dvd set that only works if you are already 'fit' or are 5ft 2, Blue Hair, weigh exactly 10 stone and have a moustache If you go to a local leisure centre I'm sure they could tell you a place that specialises in what your after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance for any ideas / experience. I was trying to get fit a few years ago and a friend suggested that I buy a Jane Fonda video. I sat through On Golden Pond five times and it never made any difference to me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the idea for the DVD's though - I am sure I saw a course for only £40 pm from some guy called Tony Robins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Hitler Posted March 17, 2013 Report Share Posted March 17, 2013 I wouldn't do karate; boring is not the word. Judo was quite fun, MMA looks quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found a kickboxing school quite close and heard some good things about the instructors, atmosphere etc so will be giving them a go at the end of the month - only down side is they wear red satin trousers........ fashionistas to the front !!!!!!!
