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?  

Its a good outfit of guys that teach SBG.   They will foucs more on the NHB type fighting than what you have previously seen in your training with classical and sporting styles.   Try the stick fighting. Thats a real rush!
