yup. 5 years ago actually. Had yet another opponent drop out but someone jumped in that day and it was a terrible match up for me but what the hell, right? Ended up losing a decision to a guy who was a great wrestler.So did you manage it?
assistant coach. I’m still growing my education before taking on that mantle on my own.Pretty sure he’s a coach now. 7 years ago lol
Have been doing MMA for about 3 years now as a hobby, training 2-3 days a week. As far as hobbies go, its a very rewarding one. Aside from the injuries you take here and there, it's really beneficial to your health. I also found that it inspired me to change my diet and really focus on becoming healthy and strong.
I've entered a few grapple comps and enjoyed them, and I try to get to a pure BJJ or Judo class whenever I can as well. I've never felt compelled to get in the actual cage though - despite having done MMA for a few years I'm still a terrible fighter .
I also found that it makes watching MMA a lot more interesting overall. It's worth going and trying it out for sure.
The old days was nuts, dudes going pro after 6 months of training. Really all you had to do was get the license and guarantee you can sell tickets for a promoter.I never consider going pro unless there is a well established ammy system for me to really gain experience in. No way, am I going out there shirtless for all those people to see, and risk getting embarrassed in a fight.
I like the grappling and TMA formats for their recreational tourneys. They have several matches going on at the same time, and not much fanfare. From what I have seen of ammy boxing or KB, its basically a pro fight but no money. All your friends and family are there.
I love hawaii. It’s 3 minute rounds no grounded elbows and no upkicks.The old days was nuts, dudes going pro after 6 months of training. Really all you had to do was get the license and guarantee you can sell tickets for a promoter.
The ruleset for mma is so vague. Some places have the unified rules on ammy, other orgs require gear, and others have some wierd arrangement. Oddest one I saw was full gear, but boxing gloves. Another was gear but no strikes on the ground, just grappling
But in other places there's no ammy, its all pro
Lol, wut?Oregon we’ll let you knee the head, no pads but no elbows in any position
yeah, it’s nuts. No shin pads or head gear and you can knee to the head and face. Elbows are for pros only thoughLol, wut?
