Is that downtown boxing in dc? I was thinking about joining since i work two metro stops away. How is it?

yep...how'd you know? you can get some good work in there...but there are better alternatives in the region depending on what exactly you're looking for. that's not my main gym btw and that vid is from 3 years ago.

I was goin to a gym a few years ago but it closed so i was looking for a new one. Went up to your gym one day and talked to the trainer. I guess i just never forgot his voice lol.

Ive been to sugar rays a couple if times but got lazy and stopped training. Im so out of shape right niw that i decided to look for another gym. I need something thats near a metro because my license is suspended right now

Downtown ain't really my type of scene if you know what i mean. :mjpls:

But i got some good work in for the one month i was there...there are better & cheaper alternatives in the region...shyt if you want to box for free (depending on your age range) you can sign up at keystone on branch ave...if you REALLY about that life...but i'd go with SRL's gym given it's proximity to where you at.

And i don't box or spar a whole lot these days...but when i do wanna get some work in...i hit up the rec at benning park.

The problem was that i was kinda spoiled the gym i was going to was new and there were only about 7 of us training there. So we got more attention from the trainer so our technique was solid and we were taught why we did certain things moves, drills, combos, etc. There was more attention to detail. When i went to sugar rays i noticed nobody really pays attention to you unless you want to compete.

I just want to have fun, sweat, hit the bag, and do a little sparring but i want somebody to actually teach me and not just show me if that makes sense

Lol i didnt really want to say anything negative but since thats not your gym the one time i went up there i saw this white dude that said he was training there for 3 years and he looked like ronda rousey shadow boxing.

If you looking for a gym to shore up your fundamentals...downtown definitely ain't what you want :mjlol: especially for the price...but they definitely give you a good workout there...and i see what you saying about a gym like SRL's but i always liked it that way :manny: just give my corner to work and leave me alone...then again i don't go to gyms to learn...just to get work in...

what gym did u go to before though?

I can't throw a straight right for shyt...never could...my right is always thrown on a loop...riddikk bowe syndrome...but after my jab i'd say my left hook...even though you didn't see it in that video...i kept throwing the right because i saw he was open for it behind the jab.
