I’m going to out that way in a couple months visiting some family and as it is a mecca for kick-boxing and Dutch-style-Thai-boxing, I’d really like to do some training while I’m there.
Anyone have any advice about how to make that happen?
My experience in the US has been that it’s pretty causal here… if I’m staying out of town for a week, chances are I know someone who knows somewhere to train in the area, and it’s no big deal to pop in, often not even having to pay…
…what does one expect in Amsterdam? Anyone been (to train) or live there have any advice?
I would say just swing by one of those clubs, but make sure to get the adress right for Mike’s Gym. The old location burned down last year I think.
You can also make a post on www.mixfight.nl where you explain your situation and what you would like to do. People on there are pretty helpful and will be able to give the right adresses and stuff like that.
If you don’t get it orso you can post in this thread and I can translate for you.
I can’t help you with what kind of people train there since I am from Belgium, but I can translate all you need.
Thanks, I think I’m smoothing out the transition, and actually will be getting away from consulting for the government, and into something health/fitness related…
…so if it works out it will be good.
Also looks like the trip is probably still going to happen… crossing my fingers at least…

I would just like to point out that he said “a liver”, not “my liver”. This is the proper attitude for a fighter. Make the other guy wake up different.
Hey Dude, I used to live in A’dam and while I don’t know anything about fighting, one of the personal trainers at Phillip Lloyd on Overtoom was into MMA. His name was Massis. Maybe it helps?

Well done kaisermetal.

Because this is a Dutch thread, I thought a Bas Rutten reference was appropriate:

Yep I do (except I took a break for fighting). What do you exactly want to know? Or… is it too late already lol?

Ah sorry man, I wasn’t aware of the combat section on T-Nation by the time. How did it workout?
