Yes, this is a surfpage, but many of us like to discuss non-surf related issues amongst fellow surfers. Here's the place to do it. Registration is required.

Curios if anyone in the OSP does mixed martial arts? My oldest just joined Straight Blast Gym in Portland. Couple of surfers are also members. I sit and watch, it reminds me a lot of chess and wall climbing. Very technical, very intentional, and super chill vibe.

I did Krav Maga for a few years when I lived in the PDX area. I never got up to the advanced levels but I enjoyed it a lot. They don't have KM anywhere near me here on the coast so I never took it back up after I moved. There's another martial arts place around here that I checked into that looks pretty good, but I've just got too much going on right now vying for my attention to add another thing to my list. I don't find nearly enough time to surf as it is. But I did find a lot of value in it - physically and mentally - so I hope your oldest does as well. Best of luck to him, Tex.
