Trained Hwarang Do for about 8/9 years, achieved black sash level, but wasn't legit enough to hand out degrees myself. I focused mostly on kicks, bladed weapons and tiny sticks, but I have much love for the joint locks and the chokes. I trained a bit of Muay Thai afterwards, mostly just for a martial arts workout. I'm looking to start Brazilian Jujitsu come September. Don't know my reach, but I don't give a fuck cause I set up punches with my sweet sweet front kick to the gut.
Why haven't you been promoted to blue yet? Just haven't been at one gym long enough?
I've been at this one place for like... damn almost 3 years now. Not many people have been there as long as me.
My instructor is a bit odd, he only does promotions once a year. So its basically just what he's feeling in that season. I feel if I were friends with him, or more of a go-getter I'd have the belt by now. As it is I don't have too many friends in the club (many have come and gone since I've been training), and I feel my lack of willingness to push myself in front of the instructor for his attention/advice hurts me in this regard. I would like the belt, but I'm also pretty happy at being able to consistently beat all sorts of blue belts.
Franklin in for Belfort. Him and Wanderlei had a good scrap the first time. Could be a good a fight.
Fuck off and die.

Black belts in both Karate and Tae Kwon Do, although I'd be hard-pressed to remember anything specific about either style given I was a young'n when I trained. They did give me a decent basis to transition over to contemporary wushu, which I did into high school. After that, I studied various traditional kung fu styles under the same sifu for several years. So basically I went from a McDojo to glorified gymnastics to old school martial arts. The first two phases put me in really great shape and taught me a lot of body control, flexibility, balance, etc. It wasn't until the last phase that I actually learned anything meaningful with regards to how to use it in a fighting context. That's not to say that I'm one of those "omg real kung fu would win in a real fight LAWL glass on the pavement no groin strikes?!?!" guys; there were definitely holes in the approach (as with any style), but my sifu was a Ranger in Vietnam and spent his last tour as an MP combat instructor, so he knew the difference between pretend fighting and real fighting. Throughout my life I've dabbled in other arts such as Aikido, BJJ, Muay Thai, etc. and had friendly sparring matches with friends and acquaintances, but would be lying if I said I knew anything than their most rudimentary basics and concepts. Been thinking about going back and training again in something more MMA-centric...
Did karate when I was a kid. Don't even remember what belt I got to. Played soccer for 12 years. Did wrestling for a while to help my brother train. As far as current things go, I trained at Team Quest for 4 months about a year ago and then ran out of money. Currently looking at a gym not to far from where I work that trained Nate Quarry and Chris Leben. Pretty good set up with a good gi/no gi BJJ instructor. Hoping to get in there in the next month or two and maybe take my first amature fight by the end of the fall.
eddie bravo.. man, if you want to lend an air of legitimacy to your new sport you probably shouldnt use the first event to promote your best buddy's CDs
also tighten up that pitch for why we even need such a sport to begin with
Good for Cote. He's had 4 wins since he was let go from the UFC about a year and a half ago (one of them was due to his opponent getting a knee injury in the first round, but a win is a win), so throwing him back in to the mix is ok with me. I actually see him being a pretty good match for Cung considering his toughness. Cung probably gets a UD, though.
Wonder what else Cote has been up to since he left the UFC?
Do you guys really care if he is cheating on his wife? Its his own personal life, and has nothing to do with his fighting. I really get weirded out by how closely some fans follow fighters; it amounts to virtual stalking.
Yeah. I would agree that it doesn't look good that he's driving around with 2 other women, but let's not just jump to, "That cheating SOB" without some kind of evidence.

A little maybe since he presents himself as a very Christian-living person. I mean, it's his business, but things like this and the DUI do not reflect well on his self-portrayal.
None of us are as rad as we say ofc.

Yeah jumping to cheating on his wife for driving around with a person he went to highschool with and her potential friend is kind of a huge leap without any proof. I mean I'm married, but I've also hung out with women who are not my wife and then offered to drive them home and had no intention of sleeping with them. Nor does the article alledge that he was seeing either woman.
Also nice to know that his previous suspended license thing was dropped almost seems like a DWB charge with lack of prosecution.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

It doesn't bother me personally as far as his morals go. I don't use fighters as role models, so he can do whatever he wants.
I think it's more that he presents himself one way and then does other things, not necessarily that he does those things in the first place. His fake attitude is more annoying than what he does to counteract the fake attitude, at least to me.

I find that match up odd.

Oh...yeah. That.
Isn't that the Nick Diaz fansite that spread slanderous remarks about Braulio to defend their headcase mancrush?
Or have I got them mixed up with someone else?
but yeah it's the guy who really wants some diaz dick
In fact, here's proof that Nick Diaz is awesome. They gave him a $300k bonus just to show up to a press conference! http://www.bloodyelbow.com/2012/5/30/3053297/ufc-nsac-nick-diaz-bonus-suspension-fine

Jon Jones is a fine person for the UFc to sponsor. Drunk driving combined with cheating on his fiancee, who is also the mother of two of his children.
even if we don't like the guy it's still super fucking douchey
