    I wrestled when I was younger. I've been doing BJJ as an adult. I've trained in boxing, Muay Thai and Krav Maga but it got too expensive. I just do BJJ now.

    Hi everyone...I'm 46 y/o, studied Soo Bahk Do for 4 years back in the 90s. Now I train in Krav Maga. I've been training for 8 months. I am currently a yellow belt and testing for my orange later this month. Krav is awesome! Great for weight loss and some practical stuff for the street although I hope I never have to use it. I used to train 2-3 days a week...now I've decided to go all in and I'm currently training 5 days a week.

    Hi! I've taken classes previously for Kyokushin karate and Kenpo karate, but this year I finally found a solid home to learn Kenpo! I'm only on purple right now, but I'm looking forward to study for life. :)

    Hi, I'm yellow belt in TKD (tagb). I took it up in now in my mid thirties when my young son started. I have been training for six months, train three times a week and absolutely love it, my instructor is great and I'm really feeling the fitness benefits. My goal this year is to get more sparring experience and to get to blue stripe.

    I've been training Yang style TJQ on and off for 10 years now but recently been looking towards external MAs. I joined a local fighting gym that caters to everybody, from kids to active UFC fighters and started boxing, MT and MMA. I've been invited to join a MT fight team and I have been offered an amateur boxing fight, but a quick calculation shows my chance would be best around 145lbs. That means I need to drop over 70lbs, which is a lot but not impossible. I focus on that now and already lost 12 lbs in just two weeks.

    Hey guys, another Australian woman here. I do Muay Thai and I'm trying to transfer it over to boxing for an up coming boxing fight I want to compete in (still raising my front leg from a push kick every time someone comes in on me though XP

    Hello, I'm I new member from the UK. I trained in karate as a teenager but quit after a year. I recently went back to the start when my kids wanted to start training. I'm currently doing:
    Shukokai karate - 3.5 years, currently second kyu, hoping to make 1st dan by my 40th birthday in 18 months
    Okinawan kobudo - 6 months, not graded yet!
    I'm only 5ft and a heavy build, I would describe my fighting style as "slow but feisty" ;) . I really like to kick stuff but right now I'm enjoying concentrating on kata.
