I am a soldier in the United States Infantry.

As much as I try I can't escape my true love.

I love to fight. It's nearly the ONLY thing I am good at or enjoy.

Most of my life I am been punching and kicking. At the moment I am 3-1 in ammy kickboxing. My downfall is I have zero ground experience and I'm considering transitioning into MMA. Unless you count GFT level 1 as experience, which I dont.

Goals:


Martial Arts:

- Return to the caliber of striker I was before OSUT and beyond.
- Join and live at a good MMA Gym
- Return to competition ASAP
- After 6 months - 1 year of getting back into swing of things (Back w/ good coach and ammy circuit) debuting PRO.
- Find the right weight class
- Learn how to man wrestle - I mean grapple.

At this time my friend whom was an ex champion weightlifter of some caliber or sort intervened. He taught me the correct form for bench press and it made worlds of difference. Prior to receiving this instruction I would just lay flat on the bench when pressing, probably using my shoulders more than I should. I feel if I had this knowledge earlier 205 would have been easily obtainable. Next time.

Don't be an idiot. Squat, even if you have to squat with only the bar.
