Thanx for the reply. To asnwer you question though my questions are really all based on competing. I've already went through the stages in my life where I liked (loved) to streetfight. Now i realize that was just ignorant and a macho thing. The more I get into Martial Arts the less that I feel I ever will be into a another street altercation mostly due to the reason I never backed out of fights was because of ego or "little man syndrome" the better I get and the better boxer I became I never felt I had to prove that to anyone. I can rarely ever see myself actually NEEDING to use skills like that on the street, not to say that it won't happen but I AM one of those bulldog ppl that if you were to pick on you would be very suprised what you got yourself into and be in trouble cause I don't care (or I should say fear) you. So yes I would one day LOVE and want to compete, well..........cause I think that I could be competitive under the right teacher. I already have the nutrition and training and discipline to do these religously I am now just needing a coach or someone to take me under there supervision if you will. I'm not saying that I think I'm ready now by any means or ever will be a star. I just enjoy it(sport fighting) and I've always been athletic faring pretty well at whatever I compete at and train and go after especially. I just moved to an area that is prevelant in sport fighting (Ca) and have the $$ and time to put into it to decide and see if I have what it takes. I will tell you that if and when I do compete I'm going balls to the wall cause I don't compete in things that I'm not trying to win so......I'll keep everyone updates cause I WILL be starting my BJJ and MT practicing/training ASAP. So maybe someone can learn from a beginner and see the whole story as it unfolds so to speak. I was also curious if to there is kinda a age that ppl tend to be "out of their leagues" if you know what I mean? I'll be 25 in a couple of weeks and I think and see that as being my only downfall (is I didn't go after this earlier instead of boxing) is that a problem? Keep in my mind that I'm talking just getting in and competing at the ameture level to begin with naturally?
