the word "simp" is overused here.

if you're courting this girl, keep at it! You're older, you can legally drink, and you're (theoretically) more mature. Girls dig that nonsense.

Just make sure you make your intentions known early (before getting friendzoned)

Unfortunately, too many of us are afraid to go for our hearts desires.

Dont be afraid to stare down the barrel of a gun, laugh at the Grim Reaper, and pee into the wind.

Consequences are temporary, but the satisfaction of experience and triumph lasts a lifetime

thank you...i needed that

I am the worst Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 / Black Ops of all-time.

I've done everything. Played countless hours, used players as bait, camped, etc. yet my head still seems to be a magnet for bullets.

Advice on how I can get better, without quitting?

get a price check on the Werdum gym. Go inside and take a look around. Some people get inspired just meeting a Pro Fighter thats been on PPV and such and want to train right away!

2. Know. Dont fear, KNOW that you're gonna get tapped. alot.

but who cares? Everyone gets tapped at some point

the fact that you're in there trying to learn the game will get you respect from EVERYONE there.

its not an easy sport whatsoever. It can be a very intimidating atmosphere but once you start learning some moves and are able to apply them to your sparring sessions, your interest will become an obsession (atleast thats what happened for me)

I've traveled to many gyms across Florida in my 4 years of competing in the sport and almost everywhere i go, im impressed with the gym's Family-like atmosphere

sure there a few knuckleheads here and there, but many are there because they genuinely love it and would be more than happy to help you out with some techniques after classes and whatnot.

Bottom line is: you're never gonna say "I wish i HADNT tried it out"

many gym offer a free one-week trial. Give it a shot. If its not for you, no problem. But you went for it atleast!

Plus, i guarantee you're gonna enjoy it.

GI BJJ is a little more light on the cardio and more technique oriented but still rough

MMA sessions are where it gets to be a bit much. the conditioning can be especially brutal

From what I found online, RobotBJJ is affiliated with Lotus Club.  The head instructors at the gym are Laercio Fernandes and Tim Peterson who are both Giva Santana BB.  Looks like both won gold at the American Nationals last year (Fernandes beat Caio Terra in the final which is pretty damn impressive).  I don't mind spending the money if I know the instruction is going to be good, but I just dont want to be paying a premium for name recognition.  I dont know if I have the commitment to sign on for a full year (would be $150/mo if I signed a 1 year contract) so I might just go month to month @ $200/mo until I figure out whether or not its for me.

How much were you paying at ATT?

Last question - Since I have never trained before, I would be showing up empty handed.  I plan on training w/ gi, but do not have one (and would feel foolish buying one before ever participating in a class).  I actually took 1 intro class at Robot a couple years back and it was slightly awkward working out in bball shorts and a t-shirt (since some of the technique that was being taught requires certain grips on the gi).  Should I overcome my foolish feelings and just buy a gi, or just go in same as before (bball shorts and tee) and deal with the gi situation later?

How to get a good punch, where to hit, stuff like that.

Why are you streetfighting? What I do is sport, but fighting in the street can very well get you killed. Be careful.

-hands up
-chin tucked
-throw straight punches (as oppose to these wild goofy-looking haymakers that i always see on these WSHH videos)

You're stuck in a rut worrying about a relationship that has ended.

She's out having fun and getting drilled by lanky doofuses named Spencer.

Who is winning here?

-Hit the gym
-Lawyer up
-Get your "going out" on
-Grab the evening by the horns
-Conquer

   I signed up with ATT in 2007 for $150.00 with  a 1 year contract, but they've gotten alot bigger and their fighters have become much more famous since then so now they've upped their prices to around $195.00/mo for a 1 year I believe.

I would still look in Werdum's camp as well. Alot of these guys bring in well-known guest trainers from time to time as well.

As for your GI situation, I wouldnt drop money on a GI yet until you know that you're gonna stick with it for a little while.

i was in a very bad car accident where pieces of glass shattered from the passenger window into my forehead. i received 10 stitches but not all in the same place. the stitches have been taken out and my skin is trying to heal. however, the scars are turning into bumps and raising above my skin. what is the best way to make sure that the scars heal correctly? any foods or vegatables i should be eating?
