Learn from Fres Oquendo?

Is it worth 160 a month to learn boxing from him?

Yes.

$160 a month is pretty cheap for an experienced trainer.

Alright. Id only be going twice a week for an hour each time though. possibly three times a week.

edit: neglected to mention that wrestling, mma, muay thai, nogi, and judo/bjj, is included in the 160 a month, however, I won't be able to take advantage of it.

Well, that is kind of a shitty time-frame to be honest with you.

Well this is the schedule, after looking at it, I think Id be able to do boxing and mma wed and fri, and on fri possibly add wrestling.

I might also be able to add sub wrestling tues and thurs mornings.


The Boxing coach is Fres Oquendo, the wrestling guys are people who were on the olympic alternate team with couture. Don't know anything about the grappling coaches or muay thai coach.

So its 160 a month for 2 hours a week of each style? Or is it 160 a month for 2 hours a week of only boxing? If its the latter, its real expensive.

160 a month for unlimited.

Do you guys think 2 hours a week of boxing is going to help me at all, or do I need to do more

OK. The problem with this schedule is that I feel I'd be a jack of all trades, master of none.

Not sure if I should just do straight bjj at carlson gracie's for the time being, until I can fit more training in.

2 hrs a week of boxing, wrestling, and grappling, or 7 hrs a week of straight bjj?
