Maybe some of you Texans can gimme a hand here.
I'm trying to find a decent school for my cousin. I actually live in Kansas and am more than happy with where I train, but him and I have different goals, different levels of experience, and very different body shapes.
He is mid 30's, no MA experience other than High School wrestling and a lot of parking lot brawls as a rowdy youth (mature family man now). He is a big muscular guy but has high body fat and really wants to "cut". Having lifted weights for years, I know cutting is just not as fun as lifting for size and strength so I pushed MA as a "fun" way to cut without getting bored.
While the big concern is cardio and calorie burning, I don't want to send him to some kick boxing gym that is more aerobics than use able technique. I would like to find him a Muay Thai gym where he can sweat off some fat WHILE becoming a more effective striker, develop good reaction timing, basically become a better fighter and not just dance to lose weight.
I found a place near him called Team Tooke. Anyone know anything about it? Recommend anything else in that area?
Appreciate you guys!
