MMA is badass

**JHayesLS1** · 03-26-2008, 10:30 AM

I'm still such a noob but damn it is so much fun to learn this. Right now we're focusing heavily on Jiu Jitsu and light on the Muy Thai but the Jiu Jitsu is amazing. Anyone that is on the fence about trying this needs to just do it. Simply badass. So far my favorite move is the hip toss into the arm bar. Everytime I pull that move on someone I hear Shao Khan from Mortal Kombat screaming "FINISH HIM" in my head

Kempo is freakin lethal. I have seen some of that stuff online. Simply amazing.

I fought MMA for 3 years and yes it was a great experience! It takes a toll on the body but i dont regret it one bit. Its nice to have the knowledge and know-how and most importantly the ability

Good luck bud!

yup yup

We study a vale tudo form, jiu jitsu and muay thai kickboxing... Our coach is one of the original instructors of the Lions Den when it was here in san diego (ken shamrocks gym for those of you who dont know what lions den is, and ken shamrock was in UFC 1) we do all sorts of other random things hes teaches us from his years of experience it is definitely fun as hell nothing beats the energy you get from stepping in the ring with a opponent you have no clue about, to later find out he has 4 previous fights and you knocked him out cold.]

5-0 so far all amature fights ! a fight at a local casino soon will be my first "pro" fight

I never seen him fight so I looked up his MMA record:

Win vs Inferno Inferno Submission (Choke) MMAX 9 - MMA Xtreme 9 3/3/2007 1st rnd

Loss Justin Stevenson Decision (Unanimous) FCSB - Best in the Southwest Championships 1/25/1997 2nd rnd 7:00

Ten year between fights, wow! Is he is mostly a trainer?

the only problem is kempo is designed to the extreme... to cripple or kill your opponent... basically you fucked if you get taken to court... we were told our only defence is to say we learned it on TV and from watching karate movies...
