Just went by a new place on 15 mile that is going to do boxing and MMA training. I talked to some people there and they are even going to put on amature events at that location.
 
I fought the gloves and a couple cage matches. All of my brothers fight as well so it might be something we're interested in.
 
its a lot of fun to train, and you meet some cool ass people training. as wierd as it sounds, fighters are usually really nice people, always helping you out.

just have to be very dedicated if you want to fight, i stopped going because i had no life, worked 7-330, came home, ate something, drove there, trained untill 10pm, came home, shower, sleep, repeat.
 
i train krav maga at 15 mile and crooks.....way better than any mma/boxing training!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wrestling backgrounds do very well in MMA. Look at Ryan Bader. He had bad stand up, but good wrestling and he beat Vinnie the show's BJJ expert. Vinnie had good stand up too, but got beat.
 
A few people I know seem to be getting into it now. They do cage match stuff with the same rules as MMA. I've been pondering it but didn't want to be another "I'm a badass cuz I watched UFC" type person.

I boxed for years but gave it up at the after getting a real job outa college. It wasn't good showing up to work looking like your were in bar fights and crap once a month after some agressive sparing or matches.

I hear ya. A guy here does BJJ 3 nights a week. Well one week they were training for real fights so the instructor told everyone to wear gloves. His partner had a fight coming up, so they were told to lightly hit each other. After "lightly" getting hit, he had a fat lip, and burns on this cheeks from getting hit/grazed with those gloves.

Then the next day he had a cut lip. His wife and 3 kids were NOT happy, so he told his instructor no more hitting.:thumbsup: He has competed in JJ matches and won a lot of them, but he is not into the striking/MMA type matches.
 
Man that is FAR from me...
Though I would not mind learning this a bit more
My buddy fights and is doing quite well actually.

I spar with him and get my butt kicked but hey I am learning
It would be nice to surprise him a bit
