[quote:ConcernedHuman:MV80Njk3MDAxXzg1NTIzNDY1X0U4Mjg5NDM1] [quote:ButyraceousBubba:MV80Njk3MDAxXzg1NTIzMzg0XzRFMzlGQTg=] some of these bro-tards are onto something...fighters are fighters-it's the way their brains are wired, just differently than normal people...it's not natural to want to get punched in the face; bjj is great because in my experience, it is the most consistently physical of the fighting/sport arts. I love karate (noob black belt), but prior to the planned-demic, we'd spar every other week. It was cool, but you're talking sparring with people older, younger, healther, stronger, slower, smaller, etc...and you have to be really careful to make sure you don't break somebody's grandmother, destroy a teenager, or bust a lawyer's face the week of a case. bjj, on the other hand-every class, putting your hands on people; choking, getting choked; arms, legs, you get the occasional punch/elbow/knee/shot to the baws, but the physicality of rolling and working on your grips, flexibility, balance, domination, recovering from bad positions-that IS class. Warm-up, technique, ROLL. I find myself skipping classes if my head isn't in a 'fighty' kind of place. At the end of the day, find something you like and stick with it (the people, your coach, location); it's going to cost you $ and you won't use it on the streets. BUT, if you were to get into a street confrontation, many people do wild, looping roundhouse punches toward the side of your chin. Regular joes don't know how to throw punches...but if they connect with a wild punch, it can still break your skull-and that's before their friends jump on your head. The most effective methods on the street are quick, brutal, and not honor bound (knees, elbows, Oh-my-BAWS!!!, eyes, necks), and don't involve closed fists like asshole movie stunt fights.

I wish I would have found a martial art and trained when I was younger. I was too busy trying to be rockstar lol.
I started watching mma about 3 years ago and I fell in love with it. I know “gay!” But it’s the only sport I’ve ever been a true fan of.
I got a heavy bag about 2 years ago and I have been hitting it ever since. I’m no pro or anything and would never claim to be a martial artist but I’ve come a long way in the last 2 years. I would love to have an amateur fight some day before I’m 40.
What about you?! What’s you’re martial art story?
