Ten exhibition bouts, headgear and 16 ounce gloves, three rounds of two minutes. Everybody on the card trains here and about half of them have never done this in front of people before. We roll the bay doors up, push the bags to the wall, and the ring is the only thing left in the room.

Mari takes whoever she thinks is ready and nobody else. We cover the entry fee for Fight Team and a coach corners every bout. Camila fought her first one of these in Fort Worth and there is a piece about what we got wrong in the journal.

Bank picks the matchups himself and he will tell you straight if he does not think you are ready yet. Friday Clinch Night is where he decides, so that is the class to be in if you want your name on a card.

Three hours on the plum, the turn, and the knee off the break, the way Bank was taught in Buriram. Bring shin guards and a towel. Capped at twenty four because the mats along the back wall only hold twelve pairs at once.

Dre's Tuesday and Thursday class shows their parents what they have been working on since September. Nobody gets hit. It is footwork games and pad rounds and it runs about forty minutes, then we open the ring for photos.
