I know it's early but what strengths and weakeness are clear in your game so far? You don't live in the states huh? This is frowned upon but if you are serious about fighting and talking supplements, I took 3 weeks of Test 250. I isnt going to hurt you and gives you a boost in strength is used right. I did it because I am serious and my comp is doing it, this I know. See the amatures from the USKA have funny weith classes. I think its under 145 or maybe 155. I don't know, either way I am a small 162 with love handles because I concentrate on technique and almost no cardio at this time. My strenghts are punch power and kick power. I have small hand, real small and little arms but on and off 10 years of boxing will give you more power than the average MMA fighter. I also have legs like Tyson, big theighs and small calves. It looks funny. I over power most of the guys and have good sub defense, I can take a hella ass whoppin. In my old boxing gyms they through me to the wolves who were black and they would try to ko me. The one day, the best one said "man, you can take an asswhooping, if i could take one like that, I'd be unstoppable" it felt good But: I have not trained BJJ in so long (excussivley on a regualr basis enough times week, I do train) because I am trying to get my muay thia to another level first. So, I get stumped in the mount or when I pull guard. I can only finish with two moves, armbar, and RNC. The americana takes too much strenght and you need to set it up and I can't yet. So my ground game sucks balls. See you might say it's early but to me, I pick up some things faster that others so I like to find out what I pick up slower and concentrate on that because when my fight comes, I am sure I will happen to be battling in the aspect of the game I am worst at. I know that was long but man, you just started and I pretty much did. I would like to log our progress, if you don't mind, wieght, belts in BJJ, rolling/sparring reports. How old are you?
I'm 34 and from Denmark. My gym is Fight Gym, Odense and I'm basicly just training to get back into shape and have a physical element in my life now that I've quit the army and start studying again. Always found weight training and running to be boring and I need someone to kick my ass to keep me motivated, so MMA it is but only on an amatuar level.
Don't overdo it when you first start. I like running, went from doing nothing to an old regiment I used to do when I was younger, which included running just about every day.. Because my shoes weren't the best, and the extra weight, I messed up my knee just a little. Now I have to limit my runs to just 3 miles. Make sure you get good shoes, and not jump into anything too fast.. Being motivated is great, but it can also get you hurt.
