Grappling

Maybe I wasn't cut out to be a fighter.
I did Tae Kwon Do for a number of years and followed that up with "Sport Ju-Jitsu" for another two years. I was in my teens to mid-twenties but found that it was too hard on my body. I just trained and grappled in class, not very many tournaments. Often I'd wake up and not be able to turn my head due to a sore neck. Needless to say, I relied heavily on my mirrors when changing lanes that day!!

Also, when I would enter Tae Kwon Do tournies, I would end up with massive welts and bruises all over my legs, and if you could walk/eat normally after a tournament, you were the king!! It's tough to imagine how these full contact fighters do it for so long, especially that freak of nature, Randy Couture.

The man is 43 years old, and still going strong. He must be on the sauce!! Just kidding. I hope he takes it to the big sloth on March 3rd.
