Okay, so I'm considering funneling my childhood dreams of wearing a championship belts and a desire for exercise outside of EA Sports' NFL Training Camp and my two trusty 20-pounders into a pursuit of MMA training and was wondering if anybody here had any special insights to share about getting started.
Like I said, it's mainly training but if I like it I would do an amateur fight or two somewhere down the line.
A bit about my potential octagon self:
-trained a little in Tang Soo Do and Judo as a teenager and have won a scrap or two, wondering if that helps me at all.
-pretty much a guaranteed heavyweight...at 6'4", 250, I'm never seeing the other side of 205 under any circumstances. Does this affect my decision?
-I don't want my brain beaten in, it's my moneymaker. Can adequate (read: superior) defense at least minimize that?
-played football so I'm used to little injuries, but how common are severe ones? A ripped ligament or broken leg ain't in my plans, I don't even have Obamacare lol...
-would it be a douche move to show up in some sweet pro looking shorts as a newbie? Can I drop that $60 on the customs online or should I roll in looking like a created player in Pride FC for Dreamcast?
So...anybody wanna talk about fight clubs?
