Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

I just had the most epic comeback in the history of all of Fight Night games ever. My fighter was Mahamud, my opponent was Barrett.

Did you lose those pounds?  I need to lose about 40 right now... did P90X 2 years ago... did everything I expected it to do.. then got lazy.. again.  It's either do that again or try something new... and not get lazy.. again.

I survived. Not bad. Great cardio workout. I didn't spar with anyone 'cause it was my first day and the class was pretty small but the teacher was great and he kicks like A ************.

Jiu-Jitsu class was going on at the same time, couldn't help but stare. A lot. The head trainer's a brown belt and he looks like Ryron Gracie lol.

I agree with nik, you don't get punched in the face too, which is always nice.

@Nik Lust nice, I'm the only idiot in the kickboxing class staring googly-eyed at the BJJ class and I nearly clapped when the head trainer pulled off a sick armbar after being stuck in half guard. I ******* love BJJ, I wish it wasn't so expensive.

@Kalibo I only have it for a month though 'cause school's gonna start in a month and a half and I'm gonna do BJJ after I'm done with boxing/kickboxing lol. Plus I got a 30 minute bike ride to get to and from there, so super good cardio workout.

I hope I don't get tired of it though, like I got tired of p90x.

Then your doing it the right way man, basically 2 years as a white belt is how it should be done. I have seen people train jitz, and get their blue belt after like 7-9 months. I remember Roger Gracie saying that he wont even give out blue belts until the white belt, can defend every submission, and most positions. White belt is all about defense. I  train off and on between gi and no gi. Got to train and get tapped by Robson Moura, that guy is a wizard on the ground

@Trae wow, Robson Moura, that is really cool. i agree, i think two years sounds about right, we've had blue belts from other places come to our gym, and we have white belts that handle them. a good buddy of mine who i have some great battles with tapped a blue three times in a roll before, he has deserved his blue for a while. the guy with the blue belt never came back, lol.
