Is there any interest at all in the Lexington Park area? Or does EVERYBODY commute to MMA/grappeling classes?
I would go with you if there was somewhere local

I have 4-5 others (with experience in wrestling or BJJ) interested as well. Just can't find a LOCATION to train in St. Marys county.

I've been thinking more and more about this lately. I haven't trained much for the last couple of years, but I wouldn't mind getting back into it. I really don't think I would be willing to drive to Dunkirk (Live in the Dameron area) but if something got going in the Park, I'm all over it.

Gwydion, why don't you take advantage of the free class and meet all of the new posters?

I took a job on Pax. I even brought my GI down in hopes i'd have time to get to dunkirk. I live in L-town, so i'd be all about Lexpark/lusby/hollywood. Dunkirk is just too out of the way right now.

For anyone missing class this week, Tuesday Toney went over ankle locks, heel hook, knee lock, leg submission defense, and some cool stuff from the S-mount. Tonight Matt worked sweeps from the standing position, closed and butterfly guard. Saturday I want to recover this and show a few new chokes.
For those on the St. Mary's side complaining about the drive to Dunkirk, find a friend and carpool like I do. I make the trek from Hollywood and catch a ride with a fellow MMA junkie from California. Sure it is about a 50 minute drive but believe me, it is worth it. If you live in St. Mary's, most things you want to do are 30 to 40 minutes away. At least with this, you get incredible training, meet some great people and the price is very cheap. I just finished my second week and already have learned a great amount.

Another sleepless night... DRWTECH I agree, guys and/or gals hook-up with a buddy and carpool. At least come and take the one free trial class offered, then make a decision. The training is awesome, have fun, and get into shape doing what you enjoy. I can not get enough and if we (St Mary's Folks) show enough support/interest; I am sure there might be a very good chance CalvertMMA could expand into our area in the near future. However, in the meantime, the training received is worth the sacrifice. Check it out!!

Anyone who has doubt's about this class should come by and try it out! Any other speculations you try and make are pointless. If you think someone is multi posting, big frigging deal --doesn't dillute the potency of the class one bit. Also, If you think it's too far then wait for something to start in St.Mary's, but we will be learning this intricate style of fighting, and will probably acquire a purple belt by the time you decide to commute to do it! I know I regret not doing this #### four years ago when I first encountered Pride Fighting on the ol' cheat box!
Also, I don't think anyone I have met would want to grapple with someone who sits at home and studies texts (on an anonymous forum) in order to discover what they feel are incoincidental similarities --you obviously have a lot on your plate and are far to busy to take this class, so stay home.
Anyway, this class is legit, but sitting at home gripping about the woes of mankind will not clear the clouds; so just fill up the tank and show up!
See ya at class!

The issue isn't cost of gas. It's one of time management. :shrug: I'd *LOVE* to train again, but I simply do not have the time to travel that distance.
I do envy you guys.

It's not confirmed yet, but it looks like Relson will be at Fight Works March 4-5, and Calvert MMA on March 6. We should know for sure by the end of this week.
That is a good point Lugnut, it does end up being almost a 4 hour trip each time for me. I'm hoping that if we show these guys that St. Mary's has as much (or more) interest as Calvert, these guys will start a gym on our side of the Patuxent. So try to save up for a kitchen pass one evening and make the journey. The classes are so addictive that you will quickly get better at time management.
Careful, the guy with the muscles is becoming an awseome grappler. He's probably one of the better students. He rarely misses a class and spens just as much time in the weight room. He'll probalby be competing at his first tournament in March. I'll be there to see him kick some butt.
