New to the boards, looking forward to reading and posting here. Some background; 30, originally from the PI but was raised in Calif. I'm an Copper with a small dept. in the E. Los Angeles suburb. Some JV wrestling in HS, nothing heavy. Just really started to find out about submission/grappling when I went thru the Sheriff's Academy and continue to train with my dept. The MMA arena seems to have alot of good people associated with it, I've seen some badasses, but also see the respect they give one another. I'll be lurking, DCH
