The Official Fighters Thread

**Capri Sun** · 31st December '10, 08:25 PM

I thought that I would create this thread as there isn't really a thread for people who actually train MMA or Boxing. The the Official MMA/Boxing threads are full of fan boys (not sending) and the Official Gym Thread isn't really relevant to the interests of those training for fighting. Enough with justifying the thread.

What does everyone train?

Me personally, I started doing JKD when I was 16 in London. Moved on MMA and haven't looked back since. I've just managed to build on each of the different elements.

Found a good MMA school not far from where I live which has a few guys that fight on big national MMA shows and been there a couple of times. They are having a couple of open mats over the holiday so i'm just getting back into rolling. Hoping to get a couple of rolls on camera so I can learn from my mistakes etc.

I have Boxing and Thai boxing in my town and I just brought my first Gi and am taking up Judo and BJJ.

Time is my biggest issue but this year i'm hoping to compete again in submission wrestling, brazilian jiu jitsu and maybe/hopefully amateur boxing

I started training MMA around 6 months back having only ever trained Karate when I was 10 or something. Found it pretty difficult to begin with but I'm actually addicted now. Been training BJJ, Muay Thai, Boxing and Wrestling at this place. I'm 2 stone lighter than when I started and looking to start lifting now and bulking a bit of weight. Going to hopefully train from now until I go to University and then look at my options from there. My first choice University has a top MMA gym nearby so if all goes to plan I will be training there.
