BJJ/Boxing
pipe and knife. ;D
seriously, just been working the heavy bag on my own for a long time. Hit pretty hard but no true training other than shaddow and mirror, emulating what I see on tape and in books. Whenever I see something new I do it over and over in slow motion to develop coordination until it feels natural. (Example, my left hook was shit for a long time. Very weak. Then I slowed it down to almost nothing, rep after rep, concentrating on form, now it feels as natural as my right.) Then I pick up the pace little by little and then I've developed natural power. Good technique first, power follows naturally.
That's why I asked the question "if you had to pick one..." Would love to take something formally but can't decide what. So many great disciplines to choose from...
I'd like to take some freestyle wrestling and muay thai but there isn't much offered on the post where I'm at. I take an Army combatives course weekly and they mix it up with lots of different stuff.
Rex Kwon Do
Network SouthEast ('train -ing ..... geddit) ;D
Amateur boxing and 7 years TaeKwonDo
psh X and his Tae Kwon Do
I repeat, Rex Kwon Do
Haha...some guys I know competed in a JiuJitsu tournament under team name "Team Rex Kwan Do"...good stuff.
I've been training myself in boxing the best that I can on the heavybags at my gym, and other similar ways to the poster a couple above. As soon as I can lose some weight, I plan on entering the local Toughman Competitions. I feel I could easily beat the majority of the guys in the competition, but I weigh about 205 right now, and I'm only 5'10" (theres some fat...I could probably lose about 10-15 lbs easily from my gut and legs, but overall, I'm not really huge, I just have a stocky build). If its enough to get me down a weightclass, that is, otherwise, I'ma just getmy cardio up and not worry about the weight, cuz I'm pretty nimble for my weight, and I THINK I have good handspeed (only done "backyard boxing"[In a ring, but against friends with either just combat training from marines or no real training], and I seem to hit harder and faster than any of them by far).
I also plan on taking some classes from my boss, who learned BJJ from Royce Gracie, plus was a professional kickboxer for a few years.
MMA is mine, I train a lil of every thing. Boxing,Kick Boxing,Muay Thai,BJJ,Tang Soo Do,ect....

Chinese Kenpo for about 8 yrs., boxing, Muay Thai, some grappling and Kali. I mostly train in boxing now, usually on my own. I recently went to a boxing class at a local health club. It wasn't bad, but they didn't stress technique too much. It was mostly for cardio, 3 minute rounds with 30 second rest. I made it through the class, but at age 55, was the oldest person in the class. It almost seemed to be too much for me.
Watch Napolean Dynamite and you'll know the wrath of Rex Kwon DoQuote:
