granmasterchen Posted June 19, 2003 Posted June 19, 2003 i had great results when i started to take the martial arts seriously, i was around ...a 300 lbs fat body when i started to take my training seriously, over the next 3 months i dropped over 100 lbs, i trained hard, a combination of my style and just trying to make myself better, when all my training was done for the summer break and i went back to school people couldn't recognize me, i left my sophmore year at 300 and came back at 168 at my lowest, i was one ripped and mean individual, life was a lot easier after that, people treat you different, yet there were numerous other benefits from martial arts, and the way i train is not just one style, my training is rough and very aggresive, hope that helps. That which does not destroy me will only make me stronger

Tibby Posted June 20, 2003 Posted June 20, 2003 SOmething to use what I gained in Track and Strength sports for more then track and Strength! And a great break from a the Strength sports too. As muc has I love throwing and posing and lifting, But it gets boarding and predicable. When you get into a little full contact sparring, you never know what might happen!
