Thanks naturalborn, and yea, i've always been into street fights and kung fu stuff, but never really discovered real fighting till a few years ago. When I was a little kid I played old school Mortal Kombat on the Sega every day. Haha. And I loved (and still do love) Bruce Lee and Jet Li movies. I would always beat up on my brothers on the trampoline and have staged fights with my cousins. I've always just been attracted to anything combat. And I have a natural sense for it. In high school wrestling I'm a two time state qualifier, and this year I lost in the heartbreak round for the medal by a stupid mistake in a match I was winning. And I've only been wrestling for three years. My first year I got 3rd at youth state. But glad I found Dr. Sick, he seems like the kind of person that will get me where I want to go. I'm a naturally athletic person, 6', 215lbs, 8% lean/fat tissue index, but I love training, learning, and pushing myself. My dad has also told me I have an amazing chin. He used to box so he knows about boxing, but not MMA. I'm to the point where I can whoop up on an old Golden Gloves champ. Haha. Sorry if I'm rambling, never really had a place to talk about this stuff with. Everyone around here is corn, beer, deer huntin', and trucks. I don't mind it, its what I've always known, but nobody knows really about fighting, just some brawls in a cage in local bars. They're kind of entertaining to watch. Two ego-freak rednecks locked in a cage. I hope I can punch him with my big right hand more than he punches me! It's pathetic in a way once you start studying true fighting. Again, sorry if I'm rambling, and if I sound kind of cocky, I'm usually a very quiet, modest, take everything I can out of the moment kind of person.

Ha. Thanks. Punisher's a kick ass movie. And I just can't get enough of it. I always want to know more. That's just me.

Yes. That's exactly what goes on here. There's a major difference between brawling and fighting. I live in a place where brawling is what makes you tough. None of the brawlers will pick fights with me anymore after I tapped out three of them. It's a bit of a relief. I don't go for knockouts and don't pick fights, I don't fight unless in defense. I've seen street fights go bad and someone get stabbed or a gun pulled, but it stirs something inside of me when I see two cocky d-bags swing like cats at each other and the one that manages to hit the other guy more gets up like he's the next Muhammad Ali. I almost want to walk out there and tell them that they're going about it all wrong. It's no use though. I just stay to myself and work on MY form. There's always room for improvement. My personal goal is to be on the WEC or UFC roster. I'm going to keep working until I get there, and no dumbass street 'fighters' are going to get in my way.

You too!
