Anybody ?

Master Sken runs one in Wilmslow (my home town)on a Thursday nite 8pm - 9pm, and one in Macclesfield leisure centre on a Sunday nite, not sure of the time of that one.

I attend the Thursday nite one most weeks for somewhere to train. Good class, can never seem to get to the Sunday one. I hear they do a bit more light sparring etc on the Sunday.

You moving?

Hope this helps.

sorry - Wilmslow is approx 5 miles from Macclesfield.

Steve Wilkinson Muay Thai, think he's Macclesfield, and a google search can
locate his contact details

FAT BOY ... you have mail !

Hi Snail, I live in Macclesfield and have trained at Steve Wilkinson's gym. It's specifically Muay Thai and the lads train 4 times a week: Sat 2-4, Sun 11-1, Tues 6-8, Thurs 6-8. They train at Paradise Mill, which is next to Wetherspoons in Macc (I can give you directions). They have several punch bags, provide kick bags and gloves, and have a ring where the lads who are competing can train. They are very friendly and welcome anybody to come and train. I trained for about 6 months there but haven't been for ages, mainly because I really need to train with another girl (if any girls are interested in training please email me!!). Nevertheless the guys didn't mind me training there when I did go. I think some of Steve's lads are fighting on Feb 27th in Manchester but I will need to find out who. I've included a pic I found on the web (http://www.shukokarate.co.uk/pages/thaiphotos.htm)

There are also a couple of clubs at Macclesfield Leisure Centre, Priory Lane: As mentioned by FB, Master Sken (Rob) 7-8 on Sundays and Thursdays in Wilmslow (I used to live there!) 8-9. I've got his number somewhere if you need it.

There is also a Kickboxing class at Macc Leisure Centre - Dave Stewart (trained under Chris Boughey); Tues 8-9, Sun 3-4.3. Think Dave does a boxing class on Sun also - 7-8pm.

Spoilt for choice really, I don't have any excuses for not training! Seriously though, I'm thinking of going back to Steve Wilk's club as that's probably the only one in Macc that can get you involved with competitions/fighting (unless Rob's does but I can't see the leisure centre having insurance for that..). Depends what you're looking for really.

Hope this helps, I've rambled on and need to go into uni now :)

Stef

Stef,

The Sken class at Wilmlsow has about 5 girls training on a Thursday. I am thinking of going to Steve's for a session to see how it is.

When did you live in Wilmlsow? I thought I knew everyone there!!!lol

FB'Slim

I lived there for about 15 years and left when I went to Uni in 1998. I used to work in a few pubs there; The Swan & The Kings Arms mainly. If people recognise me it's usually from the The Swan lol :)

I live in Macc now with my dad as it's close to my current uni in Stoke :)

I don't drive so it's not as easy for me to get about but I may go along to the Sken class at some point :)

Stef

You went to Uni in 1998 and you are still there!!!! What the hell are you studying???? Rocket Science!!

lol

FB'Slim

LOL I'm a professional student; I did BSc Psychology with sports science at Liverpool John Moores (2001), MSc Forensic Behavioural Science at Liverpool (2002), then decided I wanted to work in crime scenes, so I've almost completed Forensic Science at Staffordshire :)

7 years in uni it's about time I got a job...

Stefandang - there are 2 girls i semi know who keep saying they want to start training at steve's.

Fatboy - turn up with your gear tonight about 6-6.15 ish, its £2.50 per time or £5 per week (ie train all 4 times for your 5er !! )

No kiddin !! My tax has paid for most of that !! he he he he

Only kiddin, Sounds like you are quite a bright youn lady then!

FB'Slim

In fact both snail and fatboy turn up and have a bash - if im reading it right ??

I can tell you it WILL be cold though ( old mill + no heating = Damn cold )

Odin - tell the girls to contact me, I'm more than happy to train with them and introduce them to the guys

FB - at least I'll make a damn good investigator ;)

Snail & FB - the gym is cold, but soon you're sweating and don't notice it :)

I'm now in uni and still faffing about...

Stef

Odin,

I always struggle with Thursdays, I do football training from 7-8 then Thai 8-9. So the 6-8 class dosen't suit.

I will try and get down next Tuesday (work permitting).

Look forward to meeting you then.

FB'Slim

p.s. Stef - If your gonna be a damn good investigator I better keep my nose clean!!!

i think when i make it up it will be a weekend im not that sure but i will certainly be up .... cold mill ? does that mean i have to break a sweat ? not done that for a while !!! lol

stef i saw one of them out on the piss at weekend, they been saying it for a while now, maybe they will turn up tonight as i know they cant make tue's.

Fatboy - no worries, weekends are good as well !

Snail - is it a permanent move or just somewhere you will be on a couple of weekends ? (the town that is).

temporary im afraid and not so much for me as a lad im coaching but i get alot out of training in different gyms so hopefully i could get some training done too .

Odin,

Were you there 2nite??

I went down and thoroughly enjoyed it, really good atmosphere and good training!!!

I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a no nonsense 2hr session.

Great place. Be back soon.

FB'Slim

Yes mate i was there.........i cant say who i am though, as i am trying my utmost to be an international man of mystery !!

ok i'll give you 3 guess's !

Stef your purdy aint ya,at this point i would like to introduce myself as "the perfect gentleman" he he

Mr Weston she lives nearer me........

And me vinny........I was here first!!!

FB'Slim

Odin,

Did we grapple in the ring during sparring?

FB'Slim

Stef,

In your profile, is that you in the very bottom pic with the big eyes?

LOL

FB'Slim

Fatboy .....ummmm bang on the money but keep it shtumm ok ? :-) What gave it away ?

Glad you enjoyed it mate and see you there soon, the 2hrs pass pretty quick though dont they !

Yeh, they pass very quick, I am used to a 1hr session.

Don't know what gave it away just a lucky guess. I may get down on Sunday but if not defo Tuesday next week.

Cheers pal,

FB'Slim
