    Thanks guys! I feel guilty always going on about kickboxing so it's good to have like-minded people on my list!

    Hey Everyone.
    I'm always looking for some like minded friends and support on MFP.

    I do Wado Ryu Karate Ju Jitsu and some Brazilian JJ.
    Also have a little of a Kung Fu/TKD/ Military fusion style background.

    Might I ask what Krav Maga is?

    I have my back ground in TKD, got my brown belt before my school closed. Was sble to get a few years of kickboxing in alongside as well. Unfortunately, took some time off, now I'm 3 weeks into MMA training and lovin every minute of it.


    Feel free to ad me if you like!

    I used to do Kyokushin until I broke my head, so I am an ex-martial arts person. Does this disqualify me?

    I enjoy doing all the grapples, but I am mainly doing no-gi BJJ right now because it's the most available to me. Also really learning to love wrestling, and getting it to fit in with my Judo background. The local big HS wrestling coach goes to our gym so I have an open invitation to drop in on their practices when I want... looking forward to that!

    Trying to get within easy weight-cut distance from 195lbs to fit both a lower Judo and BJJ competition weight class.

    I'd love to have some folks that train. When I was a kid I practiced Kenpo Karate and competed quite a bit until high school. 20 some odd years later I found bjj and have been hooked for the last 3 1/2 years adding in judo and kickboxing as well. BJJ and watching my diet took me from 265lbs down to 190-195lbs. Since then I've been able to get down to 185lbs and as low as 175 this past year to compete in a NAGA gi and no gi tournament. Please add me if you're an avid martial artist who posts and/or logs daily. Thanks.

    Exactly! Everyone makes me feel like a weirdo for having a black belt. I love it.

    Hi all,

    I haven't been on MFP for long but I log daily. I'm looking for others who love sparring etc. Feel free to add me :)

    I trained Shotokan Karate for a couple of years as a kid, recently quit Wing Tsun Kung Fu which I did for under 4 years. Currently practicing Sanshou kickboxing, which I started over a year ago. Currently training towards my first novice competition in March.

    I believe Jessica asked what is Krav Maga? I currently train in Krav Maga and have trained in Aikido and Hapkido over the years. Hopefully this website will give you some insight. Take care.

    I specialize in bar fights with a focus on bloodletting. It's not pretty, but it gets the job done.
