Hell yes!! Starting MMA classes next week!

[jread]

My girlfriend surprised me with an early birthday present yesterday:

She told me that I start at the MMA school I've been wanting to go as of next week! She secretly worked it out with the owner and got me enrolled, and I had no idea the entire time.

I can't wait! I spent years in martial arts and boxing, then years out of it, and now I'm going back (for good this time). It's the only thing I was ever naturally good at (I suck at every sport I've ever tried.. especially anything that has the word "ball" in it). Fighting arts, though, just came naturally to me and I pickup on it really quickly.

Here's the school I'll be attending: http://www.vasquezacademy.net/

I think I"m going to start with the boxing/kickboxing classes then add in the BJJ after awhile. Hopefully I'll get to compete in the near future.

I haven't been this excited in a very long time!

Keep us posted.
It sounds quiet promising.
Very keen to hear on the training details.

What a great, thoughtful gift!

Lucky *razza frazza razza* (moping sounds).

Anyway, good luck and remember..."it's better to tap out, than pass out" (a friend of mine had to wear that slogan on a shirt under his Gi during competition, because his girlfriend freaked out when he passed out from a collar choke once).

or: "better tap than snap..." Tim Sylvia hasn't learned that one yet...
