So i'm approaching 30 pretty quick and my body doesn't really want to cooperate anymore. I really love pushing my body in karate and would absolutely love to do MMA or at least train for the beating I deserve.Tonight I pulled some sort of stomach muscle doing a fun kick that I really sucked at. I took a nice bath and it feels a bit better but man oh man I wish my body would stop complaining and getting injured.
At the end of class Chris, Matt, and I played a little MMA in the guard position to start. It was fun as hell. Poor Matt has been training for 15 years on how to win a fight the nastiest way possible and unfortunately all of that stuff is against the rules in MMA. (Pressure points, small joint locks, throat/eye attacks, etc) So it was fun to see him try to put his natural fighting style aside to play by the rules. I got Chris in a naked choke and he tapped out a sweet one! I called him later and he loved it as much as I did. I'm rambling now but I love this kind of stuff. I love rough-housing with friends!

hey J, i've been there. In the military you have to push tour body to the brink to stay abreast with missions and day to day training can actually tear ones body down as you try to stay in a maintenace phase. If your like me, you work thru the phase and your body will get used to it. Hang in there, it can get to your mind and hinder you. Stay focused. you'll also see that it seems as you get older it takes longer to recoup. Rest when you need it, its just as important as nutrients and the work outs itself.
If I'm ever in the area up there I'd love to come over and train with you guys. With the wrestling company I have access to a full workout area and ring so we practice all the time.
