MuayThai in the Montreal Area..Does this gym look good ?

[Monkeyman]

I was looking around for gyms in my area and i found this...

http://www.montrealmartialarts.com/

They seem to have a good selection of interesting MA's ( bjj,kali , mt etc.. ) I've only trained in TKD ( yeah..i know.. ) and i heard it can compliment MT. What do you guys think of the above gym ?

Another thing, i know MT fighters do alot of sparring and i am cursed with bad eyesight. I know i cannot fight with my glasses or contacts so what am i supposed to do ? Fighting without em is possible..yet i'd be VERY disadvantaged..

PS Nice to meet you , im monkeyman..

Train bag work in Muay Thai, and specialise in BJJ. What else can you do? Get run over by a truck carrying radioactive waste and then buy some red leathers?

If you're in Montreal, you might want to check out Senshido. They are a SD school, but they have a Thaiboxing program as well.

The website you listed is Guro Phil Gelinas' site, and you really can't go wrong at training anything at his school. He is a great guy that is constantly bringing in amazing instructors from all over.

Another place you'd be safe to check out is Khru Norm Grimard's school. www.sparmax.com

What a disappointment the film was. It was so good at first. But when those ridiculous characters like Elektra and Bulls Eye came in it just went stupid. A great shame.

don't worry bout the eyesight. just wear your contacts. i've even been grazed in the eye during sparring (not MT though) and the contact didn't come out at all.

Sparmax

Monkeyman,

I've trained along side some of the folks from the Sparmax gym and I really enjoyed the experience. First of all those whacky Canadians are a total crack up... one of the fighters gave me, in expilicit detail one of his pre-fight, prepatory secrets and too this day, I wish he hadn't (he he)... and of course I mean all of this in the best possible way.

They were all great fun to work with and learn from. In between jokes and laughs, they really put me through the ringer out in the field of screams. I'd love to train with them again.

As far as your eye sight is concerned. Work on your prumb and create a inside game for yourself. Also work on cornering your opponent and cutting off the ring. Then you can feel rather than see the things that need to happen.

Good Luck!
