I spent a year building a solid foundation before I was allowed to start formal training.

If you don't mind my asking, what is it that you train for?

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
Began practicing 3 years ago. Florida just recently passed a bill authorizing sanctioned amateur Kick Boxing / MMA so I figured I'd go full steam.

Dabbled in Kendo, Boxing, and Taekwondo in high school. But I was a fat kid with low self-esteem. So my competitive nature was discouraged.

I wish EqHolmes would send me a video of himself pulling an airplane with the bulging biceps in his penis.

That must have been confusing as all hell. "Keep your hands at your face, guard your grill!" and "Keep your hands center mass, shift your weight to your other foot, kick!" I was in aikido (Northwest Defensive arts) for 7 years, and taekwondo prior to that in Korea as a child. I had similar confusion with keeping both feet on the ground. I never understood the whole guard your grill bit in boxing. Hands go easily into the face with a palm grip and a shove.

The only thing I really do any more for physical fitness is basically don't drive anywhere. Biking places (aside from having to find a secure place to lock it up) keeps me fit enough. My heart rate stays plenty high even though it's low impact, because I ride with traffic, and I tend to ride straight down the center divider (safer than the shoulder in most places here.) The constant honking always sends my pulse through the roof. I still squeeze a tennis ball, and lift weights when I need a mid-day energizer but 90% is keeping sugar out of my diet and staying hydrated. Used to like climbing, but a car accident busted my right clavicle in two places and I just can't get the leverage I need anymore without having to chew Vicodin ES like they're candy the next day. I loathe cars.

Lol. Sounds like me when I'm actually driving. /rageee

I never gave martial arts any serious attention while I was in school. I wanted to as it's always been an underlying passion of mine but I under sold myself and my ability. Thus, I stayed home and played EQ lol.

My stint with boxing didn't allow a learning curve. You got hit. Needless to say, I did learn to keep my hands up. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
