First blog!

Welcome to my blog! This is my first blog and I'll start out by talking about one of my hobbies, mixed martial arts!

I found this sport on accident after I joined a gym that opened up down the road from my house. I drove by it every day going to class and work. The window said "Boxing" and "Jiu-Jitsu" so I thought I would check it out. I stopped by one night and saw these people rolling around on the mat when a smaller guy named Brad approaches me. We talk a little and then I sit and watch for an hour. I went back the next night and had my own Gi shortly after.

From there, me and Brad became friends and he showed me some DVD movies of Ultimate fighting. He told me the story about Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu the Gracie family. I was sucked in and I loved every moment of it. A year and a half later I move and never trained with Brad again (even when I moved back to my home town, Brad was killed in a motorcycle accident). When I was moving back I was looking forward to meeting up with Brad and getting my butt kicked once again

Anyways, I love this sport. Not only do I enjoy watching it, I enjoy participating. I volunteer my time to the local fighters and the MMA club as a medical advisor (being I'm a Nurse and a Paramedic I standby at the local events in case of injuries).

I'm glad this sport is doing so well and I enjoy sharing stories and opinions with everyone who reads my blog!

I hope you join me and I'd love to see comments and posts regarding my blogs!
