WOW, thanks for all wonderful posts. I have actually stopped training at the Aikido/TDK place. Too many ego's and I was not enjoying it there. I left there in December and have been training at a brand new school that just opened in my are in January called Mountain State Martial arts and I just love this place. It's a great environment, I love the training and I have and will have lots of opportunities to train with some great people. Mountain State teaches BJJ/Boxing/Kickboxing/MMA. They are affiliated with Straight Blast Gym, Saulo Ribeiro, and we are now a member of Rodney "Chico" King's Street Tough World Alliance. Since January I have gotten to train with Rodney and Saulo's brother Xande and what an experience that was.
