Fortis doesnt seem to have many amateur fighters not sure if they cater to that level McSweeneys does but Fortis has a good pro roster, legit gym up the road maybe even train at one of those local jiu jitsu places aswell

Nevermind they do have 2 amateur fighters at Fortis maybe may of their pros were amateur there but is a good gym you should go, dont spar or take damage if you dont want to, but your lucky to be near such a good gym and into be into MMA

Yea I know. I like what fortis does. They have a good coach.  

But the issue is the money. I can only afford a certain amount of gyms. We'll see what happens.

I know fortis has like kids classes(I know because Steven Peterson mentioned it). But I'm not a kid.

They should cater to "beginners" I would think

Well im not telling you to try become a successful pro MMA fighter you can take alot of damage or get hurt for not much, but in America going to college costs crazy prices you have to think outside the box maybe learn a trade like electrician, plumber etc, invest in property with your earnings.. If your young early 20s you can try MMA or jiu jitsu and get a basic job to fund yourself or help the household and try to make it... Alot of degrees dont gurantee a job either sometimes you graduate and cant find a job and are in bad debt

If you go down that path do a huge amount of fitness/strength (push ups squats pull ups etc) and hill sprints if possible that makes or breaks it

Maybe your parents have good jobs and could teach you stuff that can be good, but try not to go into bad debt, college fees are crazy over there

Well you live minutes away from Fortis and jiu jitsu gyms so its possible to try, fight in as light a weight as you can, do alot of fitness and conditioning, maximize your athletic potential

Leave the USA? And go where?

I have researched Norway a lot.

And i see no problem with it.


Not that expensive if you compare the U.S. to it

I know the food cost more but i see that as a good sign

Its not that expensive compared to US? Thats good, yeah Norway/Norge is a very well ran country... Seeing as your Irish American why dont you move to Ireland? You should fulfil the legacy of your ancestors and help build your homeland.... And its cold there outside of summer

I was trying to look up Norway property its kind of hidden like Iceland but the prices look insane maybe worse than Dublin somehow.... Maybe thats just in Oslo I dunno

Cool yeah maybe you could get a job in the Norwegian oil or timber industry, do you have a site I can look up Norway property on?

The people I know from there are from near Stavanger in the west

Cool well I read Reynolds is an Anglo Norman name origin but many of the Reynolds clan settled in Ireland there was some great Lord Reynolds that moved to there and the rest followed him or something or he had a big family... But maybe you could move there either... I saw a nice big space 3 bed apartment/townhouse 1.5 hour from Dublin asking price 99k maybe will sell for more but there are good deals sometimes... Getting a job in the Norway oil or timber industry could be solid though, it is a better government or rule of law there, as in foreign vulture funds cant buy up property there and scam the system like whats happening in Ireland right now... Thats just 1 example im sure there are others... Norway is more closed and private, they arent in the EU, but thats good in alot of ways
