I train Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and muay thai.    Any other folks into the combat arts, even just as a fan?  I am wondering how long I'll be on the sideline after RNY surgery.

 Ricco, my wife and I both love MMA.  If they would have had that when I finished wrestling I would have given it a try.  We've gone to a few local MMA tournaments and had a really good time.  We go back to the days of Royce Gracie dominating the UFC.

I go back that far as well.  Nice to talk to another fan.  I train under Renzo Gracie in NYC .

I was the YMCA 11 year old folk style wrestling takedown tourney champ!!

Seriously, I did wrestle back in the day and just got back into it by coaching (for about 4 weeks) my son's school.  I loved it and credit it with a lot of my life's successes.  Also a big MMA fan.  I have thought many times about heading down to the local MMA gym but to be quite honest, I'm a bit scared.

well I can tell you that any MMA school worth going to will not tolerate bullies even for a second.  Most people who last in any martial art are people with the right kind of attitude towards life and the martial arts life style.

I have a 1st Dan Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do, but I've retired because of arthritis. TKD is kinda worthless if you can't kick...

Back in the day, I loved it.

I want to start wrestling again once I begin getting back into a reasonable weight.  With my son wrestling now, I want to be able to practice again without having to be - that fat guy , you kwim?
