Anyone train at hackney's school?

Underground

Okay, a good buddy of mine told me he wants to start training at hackney's reality combat in the chicago area, but isn't sure what to expect before he goes there

Has anyone trained there before??

Any info would be appreciated

2

if "your buddy" is a big fat sumo guy - tell him to stay away.

lol, I had kind of thought that, but I did tell him to watch out for the groin shots

and open handed haymakers

Yes, people train there.

Hell, I'd go to MTC or Curran's if he lives up there.

Or anywhere other than where BigJimmy trains :)

He wants to train at hackneys, due to the fact that he lives about 30 sec from there

What are there classes like? Instructors?

Any info would be appreciated

In front of Hackney's training facility should be a couple things called doors. Approach them while standing, reach out with either hand and pull on the handle that is located about 36" from the floor. Once the door is open, take a few steps forward.

Once inside, "your buddy" will find the answer to his questions.

^W/ out the non witty sarcasm, have him Check out the school if he's that close to it.

If he doesn't like what he saw, he doesn't have to go back.

Plus like I said, let him travel the what, 10 minutes it takes to check out MTC.

This is just general but, people should decide where to train based on more than proximity.

Why does he know he want to train there if he knows nothing about the classes, instructors, etc? That it's close to him? I understand, but that's not a good enough reason.

^Agreed.

He came to me with this question, I came to you guys

I didn't know the answer and thought some of you guys might. This isn't a question for me in disguise as "my buddy." I have my gym I am loyal to

This is simply a kid who is very intrigued by mma, not really looking to be a fighter, just a younger kid who wants to train a bit that's all

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it and will let him know
