A "Simple" Trip to the Kickboxing Gym

Last week I had an urge to check out a few places to see if they had any decent kickboxing.

One of the places had "Boxing" and "Kickboxing" painted huge on the outside walls. This place is just up from Kabah on Lopez Portillo so if you pass by there, take a look and please confirm that that is what it really says because apparently I can't read or something.

I arrived and went up the stairs to ask questions about the classes. I spoke in Spanish but I shall just post in English. Here's how the conversation went:

Me: Hello, do you have kickboxing classes here?

Him: No.

Me: Ok, do you have boxing classes here?

I figure if there's not kickboxing, boxing is the closest to it.

Him: No.

He then proceeds to look at me like I just asked him for ballet classes and like I have three heads. Angered and frustrated by this I say....

Me: Well, I'm simply asking because you have boxing and kickboxing painted all over the front of your building. You don't have any classes?

Him: Oh well we don't have an instructor right now. But we have boxing simple (pronounced "simplay").

Me: What's boxing simple?

Him: It's where you train one on one with me. It's just like boxing and you do the same routine but you do it with me.

So I'm thinking, basically it's one on one private training. Thats something! So then I ask....

Me: Ok, so when are the classes?

Him: Oh well we don't have an instructor right now.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

???????????????????????????????????

So I left. More confused than when I walked in and I didn't even have a punching bag to take out my frustrations on.

There was nothing "SIMPLE" about that!

Zut! (thats for Fned)
