Kru Mark Nardone is teaching out of the tapout gym. If you want the BEST Muay Thai in MA, go see him. The Brasilian Top Team school has some very good teachers, and they do a lot of no gi. I'm about an hour from Boston.

hey bro,
I'm moving to Rhode Island (about an hour south of Boston) in a couple of weeks, I'll be training at Tim Burrill's school in Providence. Let me know if you're close to Rhode Island, I always like meeting other 10th planet people.

While I know and respect Kru DeLagrotte, Sityodtong is NOT the best Muay Thai gym in the country. Emir-please; expand your base. The Wat is THE BEST MUAY THAI GYM on the East Coast. Period. Kru Phil Nurse is the ONLY legit Muay Thai Champion in this area. Kru Mark Nardone and myself have trained with and/or been certified by him as well. There are also some excellent trainers in the states and CA in specific. So just be careful. Sityodtong may be all you've seen, but while excellent, is not the best in the area.

Don't believe the maps. Driving time and distance are relative. :)

I'm around an hour away from Rhode Island and Boston. Travel time is all relative to route and traffic.

I used to train at Tapout for a while. I liked it but they're still pretty new as gyms go. You get a mix of floaters, regulars, and crossovers from waikru. I know a number guys who won tournaments from Waikru and my experience is that the jiu jitsu instruction or at least the average skill level there was higher.

I know, but Dana hasn't trained with Phil. He's trained with Mark. Dana doesn't know everything :). Trust me, when I have Phil at my place next year, come in and see or just train with me and get a taste. :)
