Good place for learning Muay Thai?

[nathaniel-prime.livejournal.com]

Hey there. I'm looking for a good place to take some Muay Thai classes. Different types of kickboxing or Brazilian Jiu Jitsu would be other good options. However, I'm basically working a summer job and trying to save money for going back to college in the Spring, so I am both fairly busy and frugal. It seems like I need to find a place where I could pay based on classes attended rather than needing to sign up for months at a time. Do any of you fine fellows know a place that meets this description?

Yes, Kenny "KenFlo" Florian and other notables train there. You have to be pretty committed though.

Hi. I have a question. I'm considering joining Sityodtong after I get back from a trip and things have settled down around the house. When you say "committed," I'm curious about what you mean. I know they're top-notch, which comes at a price ($$$, fitness, etc.), but I'm curious just how crazy it is for beginners.

As a reference point, I briefly trained in another state a couple of years ago. I'd come home covered in bruises and almost broke my nose twice. I didn't mind getting banged up, other than dropping my guard. *grumble*

I've gone to one trial class and may go back again later, and it seems like the beginners don't do all that much all-out sparring. In the class I checked out, it was mostly pads and conditioning.

Thanks. To be fair, the bruises were from the pads! Either I really am skin & bones or I always landed mules for partners.
