Cool man, what kind of rates are you paying?

12/17/2007 9:59:21 PM

unless you are just doing it for sport wrestling is pretty worthless if you get into a fight with anyone that has any clue how to fight. An experienced ju-jitsu would be more then happy to let you take him to the ground. That's when his fun starts.

12/17/2007 9:59:32 PM

you really enjoy touching half naked men, don't ya?

12/17/2007 10:03:31 PM

^^thats what i pretty much found out today...except i wouldnt say wrestling is worthless...i have an idea of how to maintain position i just dont have the conditioning to do it
^yes, if thats how you like to visualize it

Hmmm, that's not too bad really. I wish I had more free time so I could actually do it.

12/17/2007 10:08:01 PM

class was from 8-9:30 round abouts i went after work


im probably gonna still need to run on my own and do my ab work until i figure out how they do their strength and conditioning

12/17/2007 10:09:31 PM

there are 4 mma gyms within 5 blocks of my house

it's just absurd

12/17/2007 10:09:41 PM

I just do pushups, pullups, crunches, running, and the occasional session or two with dumbbells. I'm so woefully out of shape right now. I mean, I'm still in better shape than 90% of America, but I'm not where I want to be.

12/17/2007 10:12:03 PM

yea i pretty much did the same stuff but the way im feelin now i feel i dont need to do any actual weightliftin


just body-on-body baby, my whole body is hurtin

12/17/2007 10:25:31 PM

grappling is what you do for catfish, silly!

12/17/2007 10:37:08 PM

I've been going to ECSA for about a month now...no wrestling background so i've got a ton to learn. good time though and Danny is a nice guy. I'll be there tonight getting my ass kicked as usual.

12/18/2007 7:22:08 AM

obligatory:

12/18/2007 7:30:59 AM

outside of mma, i know oh so many folks that know jujitsu.... that must be a real danger on the streets in a real fight... [HUR]

i know you're probably just saying a real MMA fight...

12/18/2007 9:23:08 AM

CrossFit is a touch expensive, but I love it. Give me Muay Thai over that pansy BJJ shit any day, though.

sweet man! maybe you can tell me a little more about how things are scheduled week-to-week

12/18/2007 11:03:58 AM

one thing you all are neglecting to remember is that is a real fight weaponry is allowed. after you get a certain age you will not want to waste energy fighting.

12/18/2007 11:13:41 AM

I-have-more-friends-then-you-fu is one of the best martial arts and a pretty good way to win a street fight excluding weapons.

12/18/2007 11:22:23 AM

i am the kind of person i will say bring it on because i am not going to start a fight but i'll end it on my terms

12/18/2007 11:56:01 AM

merp

12/18/2007 11:59:58 AM

poll - how many real fights have you gotten into?

a)<5
b)>5
c)>10

its c for me. being that where i am from we had to fight growing up. more like, you might be playing football in the back yard with your boys and yall get mad and fight right there on the spot and then get and finish playing. oh and i have been banked twice.

well the most i've done is 2 days in a row, so i'm not certain if it continues to build through the week. mostly it is work on a couple techniques/drill for 50 min then wrestle for 20-30 min (just get mount to start then progress to going for submissions after you know a couple). I think if time is running short we'll end up doing push-ups/sit-ups and call it a night. There is one guy there that is trying to fight professionally (Justin), so maybe he can give you more insight into what you are looking for.

12/18/2007 12:30:14 PM

oic you pussies have never been in a real fight and you are scared to get hit bwhahahahahahahaha

12/18/2007 12:52:18 PM

ive havent been in a fight since middle school


thats because i have the sort of presence to not be challenged in such a manner, im respectful, and im...um mature

plus fighting gets you killed nowadays so i lay low

fighting is bullshit and stupid...i dont think fights when you are little kid/preadolescent count everyone got into fights growing up you arent special

Do you have any clue what you are talking about. MMA stands for "Mixed Martial Arts."

The practitioner train in striking, grappling, and ground techniques. MMA champions must utilize all these skills to be successful in the ring and they are even more valuable on the street. Yeah you may land some pretty cool looking kicks from your muay thai training but unless you are in the ring you will need to use something else b.c most likely a "fight for the life" isn't going to be 2 guys going kick for kick/ elbow for elbow. You may give a BJJ veteran a nice black eye and a sore leg but once a real fight gets in close and personal you are gone.

dude i was 17-18 years old fighting like this with people my age a few years older. i got into two after i turned 20 years old, and needless to say that i stomp the fuck out of both of them. i am cool. clam, and respectful, but people underestimate me heavily as a fighter, but i will give them the shock of their fucking life.

you missed the point


I would never brag about getting into a fight, it wouldnt be a proud moment its somethin id want no one to know about

thats just my opinion though

12/18/2007 10:54:21 PM

Yo Chris...teach me some shit

12/18/2007 11:58:21 PM

only if you teach me how to grow a red goatee
