Hey guys
I guess this has probably been raised before but can't find anything so thought it would be worth a post.
I used to box in Britain and have a few friends who have done a variety of MA at different levels out here - mainly amateur and just for fitness / enjoyment. But then I have LOADS of friends out here who are angry and wound up, mainly at the wacky races on the roads every day but also at their frustration about missing family, finding it hard to make progress in.... well EVERYTHING in Saudi (exceptions to the rule I accept) and personal things in general.
I know a few little get togethers of people doing pad work etc. and maybe there are many I don't know about. Probably come to think of it.
Maybe though there isn't a 'fight club' and maybe there is demand for this? I'm not thinking betting and Russian special forces elite vs giant from Africa like in movies, just frustrated western (or elsewhere ;-)) business men (or women) windmilling for 10 minutes or until both passed out due to heat and being unfit, for a bit of enjoyment and something to focus on outside of work.
Post if you are keen, I work in King Fahd and live in Rawdah so all over Riyadh at times.
Also I play for a few football teams out here already, but if anyone knows of any other teams which require players (goalkeeper semi pro in UK for last 3 years or holding midfielder amateur level) then I am probably keen.
Cheers
