Wrestling!

The only problem I've had is trouble doing pushups during the conditioning part of class

I wouldn't say I'm muscular, but I am cut I just lack bulk because of my lanky build I don't lift like I should anyway

5'8 135-140, Athletic build

I'd swim if I knew how So I just run instead

If you think that's bad, I was worse 13 total plantar warts on both feet 2 the size of a silver dollar Worst case EVER

The Shooto-style gloves? I thought they were only 8

I heard there was an Amateur Kickboxing event in Pottsville, PA Does anyone know where I can get more information on this?

I just run and I've noticed some good growth in my calves Of course, 1 mile won't do I got these from running 3 miles every other day And 9 miles once a week

Either tape or shoes Training in socks would look goofy

What I have noticed is that my reason to train has completely changed Now, that I've started to attract girls, I'm just looking for a girl who's interested in more than my skill or my build Now, my reason to train is for me to be able to fight in a professional organization Whether it be K-1, UFC, PRIDE, or Shooto I want to be well known for what I do http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/soulfighting/SOUL%20SONIC%20STYLE/New_Back.jpghttp://img.photobucket.com/albums/v71/soulfighting/SOUL%20SONIC%20STYLE/New_Abs.jpg

But the kicks in WIng Chun aren't effective, unless you kick the knee.

Go to sherdog.com and download the Rumina Sato highlight video He's got really nice heelhooks And he almost kneebarred Tito Ortiz in ADCC

I'm not having much trouble at all with applying pressure with the kneebar. I'm actually learning it from an Ippon Seio Nage fake, then roll to the side (like a granby), and apply pressure. If you need a secure grip on the leg, try putting the foot in your armpit. I've never drilled it from a guard-pass, but I'll be covering that my next class.

Yeah, we've got rules And most of the kids are friends from my wrestling team.

I have a few untrained friends who are planning to put together a "Backyard MMA" event. I'm considering fighting in it, but if I get injured, my parents would go CRAZY

You have an ego there kid, and you'd better put a govenor on it, and your mouth down a bit I think, or somebody that's got a bigger ego and mouth, and far superior skills..will do it for you. Thats why I want to compete, to know if I'm any good or not . I do well in sparring, but I don't go 100% in sparring, and most of my training partners are much bigger than me. I competed in wrestling this year for my first time, but lost every match, racking up an 0-7 record . (One reason my dad won't let me compete). My dad might let me do Greco and Freestyle to prepare for next wrestling season . However, I want MMA, Kickboxing, or Submission Grappling experience.

I just don't like girls who are too much into trends like Skateboarding and Hip Hop (Hip Hop hobbies I can deal with, as long as they're not too obsessive. I've had a girl who stopped liking me because her friends didn't think I was a "thug".)

I need to meet some nice girls

Comments like these are for boys with short penises unsure of their own sexuality. HEY! I'M NOT THAT KINDA GUY I SWEAR!!!

I'll just have to wait. However, My dad's friend's son competes in Karate. My mom justifies it with "He does Karate, that's chinese stuff. They don't hurt each other" I personally think I should start challenging martial artists in my area, and making myself an unofficial MMA record.

Point sparring is for little girls and boys

Picking/Sweeping If its mid distance, I could pick and sweep, but I'd rather elbow-block it
