Brian Payne Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) I have been going to a local gym for a while at my oldest son's request. He has been doing the MMA for about 2 1/2 yrs. now and thought that I might be interested. I have got to say that I have been having a blast. The first class was spent getting past the "lets kick the fat old cops ass" syndrome and we were good to go, great bunch of guys actually. I am getting a lot more flexible and the cardio work is awesome. I can't get rid of the old, but the fat is starting to melt. MMA seems to me to be the 3-gunnin' of the martial arts world. Boxing (rifle), BJJ (handgun, the toughest to learn), ground and pound (shotgun, reload as fast as you can and let'er buck). Good fun!

Paul Santiago Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 I've become a fan of the sport in the last year and it looked like fun, great exercise and training for my fat, old body. Then I see the veterans of the sport on TV with what used to be ears and I thought, uummmm nope, I've grown rather attached to my ears. Mine may not work very well but they at least look the part. I do catch as many matches on TV and live as I can though. Good Luck in your training!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pezco Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 MMA and all things martial arts was my life for >40 years. Recently; 2 years ago, I realized my body wasn't recovering completely from injuries and pain was ongoing so I needed a change in my martial arts pursuits and switched to shooting (which I've done all my life, just not competitively). I couldn't be happier with the people I met shooting, but I sure have spent a butt load of money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Hefta Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I have learned one thing from being a big fan of MMA, if a guy bumps into me and he has cauliflower ears, I will say "excuse me Sir, it was my fault, can I buy you a beer?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
