Hi, I stay in the Northwest Indiana area and train at the World Gym in Highland, Indiana because that is the only gym out in my area that will allow their members to spar and train in the martial arts openly. Also before he got his own gym down the street from them WEC Bantamweight Champion Miguel Torres trained out of there for 3 years. I'm not style or competition type discriminatory as long as the person wants to help me out improve my current fight skills and to help me accomplish my future goals I'll be more than happy to train and spar with them. Currently the only things I can bring to sparring with anyone is 2 pairs of Top Contender MMA gloves (one Large the other Regular), 3 Velcro connecting mats, an Everlast Punching Bag, and my membership to World Gym to use their facilities to train at. If you can help me out or are looking for another human punching bag (I'm a striker with an extremely small amount of experience on groundwork and submissions. So someone with a good BJJ or Submission Wrestling background would beat me easily because of my lack of formal training in groundwork.)please contact me at ronin7411@yahoo.com to see if we can talk about training and sparring with each other. Also bring your friends and any other people you know that stay in the Northwest Indiana area that would like to fight in Kickboxing and MMA the more people I can spar and train with the better. Thanks to anyone that can help me out.

Hi, Hoover (I found your name from another thread I saw you post at) and thanks for your help I want to train with your gym so bad really I do but my lack of funds to enroll in a MMA gym and to pursue it to the level I want is whats holding me back now. The reason why I train out of World Gym is because their membership fee is only $25 a month which I can afford but as far as $85, $100, and some of the gyms out here in Lake County $150 a month that is a little steep for me right now because of the bills at the house. Also I'm a full time college student that only gets money for doing stupid side jobs like land scaping and helping out people with stuff that they don't feel like messing with but is willing to pay someone to mess with it. I also don't have the money to travel 2 hours to Indianapolis and 2 hours back to where I stay in Lake Station but believe me if I did I would be there faster than you can blink. If you know anybody that stays in the NW Indiana area that is an independent or has a lot of free time please pass my e-mail address on to them so that I can talk to them. I'll willing to work with anybody hell I'll even spar with traditional martial artists just to get some sparring time to improve my fighting skills. Again thanks Hoover for your assistance it was much appreciated.

Johnny
