Seeking a place to train in Seattle, advise?

mikecello · 05-18-2008, 11:45 PM

Hello, I have wanted to train in MMA in the Seattle area but don't know how to get started. I've been an athlete in the past and thrive on hard competition but have never focused on martial arts specifically. I don’t have an interest to be a professional fighter or compete against guys who will be trying to kill me. A good work out a couple of days a week and the occasional sparing in all I ask. Essentially, I'm asking advice from fighters and trainers about how I can get into training and if there are any good places to check out for someone meeting my particular interests in Seattle? Anything you guys can tell me would be a fantastic help, thank you again.

A world class gym. AMC Kickboxing and Pankration
I have no idea how close it is to you. A gym like this is always worth the drive.

You're lucky since there are a ton of great places to train all around the Seattle area. Where are you located? Are you looking to focus on a single art or get a variety? Post a few more specifics or PM me and I'd be glad to help you.
