Not many formal classes, you get lots of small group stuff. I dig the atmosphere. Very rocky like, old gym, etc..
I just wish they would clean the mats more often

Amazing how much weight I lost in 6 months of 3-4X a week grappling.

After that fight, only KO I've ever had. I could barely stand. I got smacked pretty good.
From a kickboxing fight.
Kick Boxing practice at my old college. We had to train in the racquet ball courts.
My first big fight. Excuse the hair...I blame my ex girlfriend for letting me do it. I broke his nose. He then smashed me pretty good.
My last fight, won a decision. He was 181 and had been training. I took the fight on 30 min notice because his opponent didn't show. I was bad out of shape and played a conservative game.
This is my favorite picture, but because of work I can't embed it, so if someone wants to, be my guest.

Looking back I looked like a Hispanic Ethiopian, Im 6'1" and walk at 210lbs now. I'll never be that small again Amazing how much weight I lost in 6 months of 3-4X a week grappling.

WHOA bad *** pictures bro.. I dont think I can ever fight professionally. Kudos to you for doing that must be awsome.
I know exactly how you feel, I was a martial arts assistant training in the Marines before I got out in 04. I had my fair share of ear punches and yes my eyes did water up, but I held strong. That **** hurts like crazy..... I was more scared that my ear would get all fat.
