Is anyone familiar with the [url=http://www.straightblastgym.com/]SBG[/url]? They teach a mix of striking, clinching, and ground fighting. It's run like a boxing gym NOT a formal martial art system. There are no ranks, no titles, and no formalities. The Oregon based gym has even fielded some UFC competitors. The [url=http://www.straightblastgym.net/]Beaverton Site[/url] lays out the philosophy nicely. I stopped in on a class last night and it looked real good. I have trained in Tae Kwon Do (wayy back) and Isshinryu. There are no local Isshinryu schools here in Portland and I have been searching for something local. It sounds like this is similar to what Miss Magnum is taking. I suppose I'll have to jump in and try it. Any thoughts?
