Mr BoxerGrappler

Twice. Friends and I were driving to my fathers house. I was in the lead car with my girlfriend at the time. My friend was driving the car behind me, with him he had two other friends of mine and one of their boyfriends. A passing zone came up, he moved in to the other lane to pass me, changed his mind at the last second when a car was coming and pulled back behind, he caught sand the card spun and slammed full on in to a tree. I watched the whole thing happen in my rear veiw mirror. Parked the car, ran back to the scene but their was little to nothing I could do except call for help. Two people died, and one the driver is in a weel chair for life. The second I was in myself, Pontiac Grad Pix, ninty miles a hour in to a tree. I was asleep in the passenger seat, I awoke with a ruptured spleen and rescue workers sawing the door off to get me out and get me to the hospital, not a fun thing. Cars are dangerus.

Well I am new to this forum and I read this post and it actually made me think. Now I am a twenty two year old man who is trained as an amatuer boxer, as for martial arts experance, I was never really geared to it until later when I met a few friends. Friends who are now Gracie JJ instructors. Now I have never actually taken any real JJ classes, but in six years of being friends with these people one person in paticular I have learned a great deal and consider myself a grappler. Not a JJ artist but a grappler. When I was younger I was a very angry kid. Grew up skinny, I was 5'8 88 lbs till freshman year and I got picked on to know end. Then I started boxing, I hit my groth spurt and things got better, I didn't get picked on much anymore. But I got in fights, and the majority of fights I got in were over Males getting physical with Females. hitting, shoving choking, That is what through me over the edge. It never failed I saw it, I was gonna be the hero. I heard about, I was gonna find the kid. Now people say it is subcontiuous, becuase of my father when I was young, he and my mom had a bad bad situtation but I dunno. My point is, and I know I have drug it out long enough. Everyone has that thing that sends them over. The thing that lights their fuse, and I think for a lot of people it can be a lot of diffrent things. But I don't think there is one reason people fight, but one thing that causes a specific person to fight over and over when they do? Absolutly.

I have only ever grappled on grass. or rugged floor wich is always fun for the burns, then again I have never taken any real classes, just learn from friends who are instructors.. But Thin Foam mats I would think would make for rough take downs.
