Started when i was ten doing Bodukai Karate. Turned out our instructor was a kiddie fiddler so that came to an end. Then i started doing kickboxing around the age of 12, kept that up till college. Did "cross training" for 2 years, which was basically me, a boxer, a wrestler and a guy who did Judo beating the snot out of each three times a week. Went back to it proper for a few years of MT, learned how to break ribs with my shins and felt good.

Have been out of it for a few years now. When i go back it will be to BJJ/MMA/sub wrestling when my knee is 100%. Almost there and feeling good to be honest!

Pretty much sums it up!!! LoL, can't believe my sneaky rib breaking comment!!! ha ha ha! Wonder if the person it was meant for even saw it! Must ring him later and find out!

Anyways....since i posted that i have trained a very, very small amount of Jitz but repeated injuries and illness have pretty much stalled my training at the moment. :mad:

I think by now my stand up must be freaking horrible!

I'm back in the gym and i'm back to some cardio/conditioning. Took on a pretty big photography job recently which means no classes as of yet. Hopefully will have that wrapped within the week and then head back to Phils classes.

When work, injuries or family get in the way of M.A. training then I just attend a class as a spectator, I rarely miss a minute to learn.

As Napoleon is qouted as saying "I may have lost a war, but I never lost a minute"

If your serious about getting back into M.A. training you should really try get to class (even just to watch) or get to spectate at a competition, I find thats a great motivator too.

Nothingcompares

I find that if I'm injured I have to stay out of the gym. If I go down to watch, even if I don't bring any gear I'll just start participating anyway.But you can get out of it too much and stay away too long which I did most recently.

Dragon who were you fighting/training MT with and have you any competition experience?.

I've read your stuff in the fitness forum, sounds like your coming from a solid base there but I can't figure your martial arts credentials as mostly you post about UFC.

I apologise if I'm being too nosey, I just got the feeling that 1 or 2 lads were trying to call you out here.

What kind of photographic work are you involved in. Is it related to any of the martial arts magazines perhaps? BIG KUDOS if it is.

I didn't intend my post that way for what it's worth. I was just having a laugh. Credentials in a specific area aren't really a requirement for moderating any forum....only that you can moderate well.
