Any martial artists, jiujitsu guys, boxers etc. on glp?
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?

i'm always relying on the MARTIAL ARTS CODEX that nobody will whoop my ass for nothing, if i find out later that the dude is practicing something and i survived, i'd go mafia style peace

OP: In America, it’s a rite of passage to have a midlife crisis in your 40s, buy a $70K sportscar, get your ear pierced, date a 19-year old gold-digger model named Giselle, & reinvent yourself as an MMA fighter (until that Round 1 kick to the chest lands you in 6 months of traction).

Everyone does this nowadays.

Go find a gym where you can train and learn from legit coaches. Alot of people do it just for excercise and fun, you don't have to fight. After a year or so of training you will know if you actually want to fight.

Just a heavy bag at home with no experience isn't the best idea. Its good excercise but you're most likely learning bad form. It will be harder to unlearn bad form than to start from scratch.

I have to quit being a bitch and actually go train. I can hit pretty hard and can kick higher than my head but I have no form. I know this. I’m not even sure if there are any mma or boxing gyms close to me that are open right now. There was one my buddy was going to but I missed the boat before Covid hit.

Just join a BJJ school and in a few weeks you will have some real world skills, at any age. If you can find a Sambo school, they focus on leg locks. Striking is for younger guy's if you arent already a puncher. trust me BJJ or Sambo will even things up a big.

Dude bjj is no joke. I’m a big dude, 6’2 255. And one of my good friends has been training it for just over a year and the few times he showed me some stuff it’s been crazy. Strength and size have nothing over technique. It’s humbling.

You will get the shit kicked out of yourself. MMA is fake as any other sport, been caught rigging too many fights.

But it isn't just marital arts, it all has to do with how good your fighting skills are. Besides being rigged, the only real difference between traditional contact karate or contact martial arts is grappling. If you cannot grapple or wrestle, you will be sent home with your tail between your legs.

In full contact fighting watching rigged fighting on TV isn't going to do it for you.

It’s hard for me because I do believe sports are rigged. I think it’s possible some mma is but...I don’t know. Those guys seem to have too much pride to take a fall.

I’d fight a guy who wrestles it grapples. I’m sure I’d lose but all I said is I wanna have 1 fight, I didn’t say I had to win it haha!

i've seen from the sole masters themselves saying, the Monks from the Budhist temples

the most important thing is to keep an eye on the shoulders and elbows of your opponents

besides the fact what Bruce Lee said, the purpose of fight is to end it as soon as possible, so i'm guessing people on the streets don't wrestle like in MMA but keep it quick hf

I did American Kenpo training. Private training at age 9 and finished top of my class before age 10. I gained all their belts, all their training.

I got my golden gloves when I was 17 in Boston, Massachusetts. Brockton is where it was at. I wasn't allowed to go further, my momma told me not to lol.

I know wrestling. I beat some Greco Roman wrestler champ when I was a teen. He was top of his class too.

I met Randy Couture before. Really nice guy. I was paid to train some of the early mma fighters that rose up in ranks of mma. It was fun. I did it from home here in Canada.

I've been in about 30 street fights. All KO'd by me. I never got caught for nearly paralyzing three people. Broke my lower knuckle on one guy's face. They were all bigger than me.

Oh, I don't have a dream. If you can fight. You don't have to show it. The fighters will find you instead.

Re: Any martial artists, jiujitsu guys, boxers etc. on glp?
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.
