Am I normal?
I guess I've always had a hunger for 1on1 fighting but I've noticed that whenever I see/read/hear/or even think about fighting I get a major rush. I love all things MMA. I have been fighting for as long as I can remember, my dad says that even as a little kid, I'd pull him into the floor and elbow his stomach :-). Maybe the rush is from lack of training. I went to a local JJ class for about 2 weeks and didn't like it that much. The sensi was more into wristlocks and fancy looking small joint-lock holds. the whole two weeks I only grappled maybe 4 times. Got my first "official" submission on a black-belt TKD guy with a very awkward arm-bar first and then a guillotine choke in our second match. Felt really good. Anyways, I'm rambling but back to the original question, Do any of you out there get the intense urge to spar, and if so, what do you do about it? The obvious question is spar, but the gym on base doesn't have any mats to use, and my friend and I almost got arrested for grappling outside on the grass. :-P Cops thought he was trying to kill me, but I showed them how to do an armbar from the bottom guard position and they kinda got the message that being on the bottom isn't always a bad thing. :-)
