Striking style (if any) and rank: Boxing and Muay Thai...aint no rank. I did a lot of different TMA's as a kid.....mostly Karate.

What (if any) saftey equipment do you use when training: mouthpiece, grappling gloves(if we are working strikes), sometimes Ill tape up my ankle or my wrists....I have wrestling headgear, but I hate wearing it, and my ears dont really flare up all that much anymore, so it just sits in the closet. For my Boxing and Muay Thai training, I wear mouthpiece, shin gaurds, a cup, wrist wraps, and a boxing glove of course...sometimes I bandage my ankle if I need to.

Last injury that sidelined you: fractured big toe I think was the last thing.....

Any Style you don't train in that you'd like to?: ummm......I dunno.....I kinda feel like I have a pretty good base now, and if there are ever any techniques from other arts that I am interested in, I can usually pick them up through watching a demonstration and trying it out myself.....some weapons training looks interesting to me, but Im by and large an empty hand kinda guy.

I'm sure it's been asked before...but out of curiousity, how is it you travel so much....job related or just enjoying life?
 
i have 16 superintendants and thier crews that i oversee across the U.S., i wish it was recreational.
i do still get to train when i hit an area with schools, but sometimes i go weeks without training.

Interesting....at least it sounds as if your job isn't boring due to going to the same place on a daily basis.
 
Not that much of really experienced grapplers though...
