I'd like to think I'm already an excellent technical fighter by nature, but I also think I would get beat up by someone who is trained. However I have beaten people who have been wrestling for years, and I don't like wrestling. I want to do MMA, except I don't like the wrestling aspect of it, although I should learn it. I really want to compete in just boxing too. Maybe I can compete in both. I am looking at a couple places, and I think I am being to picky. First off I don't want to train with a bunch of kids. Also, I want it to be close to home.. And I want to get fit. I am going to check out a place tomorrow after work, and I'm way to excited to sleep now. I hope I do not get disappointed.
How is your BJJ? I think for MMA, it may be close to a sine qua non. Most groups are likely to be fairly competitive and within the context of a big city, it is quite likely you will meet your challenge(match).
