I have been training in martial arts for about twelve years in a variety of different systems. I have a background in aikido, arnis, wing chun, muay thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and boxing. Currently, I train regularly in muay thai, BJJ, and arnis. I have a brown sash in wing chun, a blue belt in BJJ. I've competed in open martial arts tournaments, submission grappling, and amateur MMA. I also teach defensive tactics to law enforcement in my dept. and the police academy that serves this region. My goals are to continue to compete in MMA and submission grappling, but also branch out to kickboxing and boxing. I also want to someday open my own studio, where I hope to teach martial arts to civilians, but also offer special instruction to military and law enforcement.
I'm interested to see what martial arts we have represented here, and also what type of competitive background you guys have. With a web site like this, I know we've got some students of the game, because the pick percentages floating around are pretty incredible. That shows some in depth, hands on experience with the fight game.

I trained in Pancratian from age 5 to 12 then switched to Tae Kwon Do for two years from 14 to 16. In TKD I competed in point sparring tournaments and became MA state champ one year when I was 16.
When I was still 16 I moved from TKD to TAMA, an American system of Karate, and have trained there most consistently for the last six years. I've since branched out to do a lot of BJJ training and grappling and sparring at local MMA gyms, such as Lauzon MMA and Jorge Rivera's gym, as well as a few local hot spots, but TAMA remains my base and the dojo is where I spend 75% of my time.
From age 16 I started amateur kickboxing and racked up an 8-2 record with 1 KO, 3 TKOs, and 4 Decisions. Two days ago I entered my first Hybrid Fighting tournament, which is amateur MMA with modified rules that only give you 10 seconds to work once you hit the ground, so it's basically MMA geared toward strikers, and I won first place in the LW division (149 lbs and under).
