MMA ( Mixed martial arts )

Blankface, respect for going in the ring, and glad that you enjoyed it.
How did it go exactly? Have you got any footage?

Sorry for the delayed response. It was fun, the most tiring single event of my whole life. Emotionally and Physically draining. I treated it as too much of a grappling match though so will be substantially improving my stand-up game before my next fight in september. Cant wait to get back in there! I dont have any footage im afraid, the dude I fought does but I need to get it off him at some point.

Hai! Just saw this thread pop up.

I'm a blue belt under Nic Gregoriades (who was Roger Gracie's first black belt). I do gi and no-gi mainly at Budokwai in Chelsea although I head up to Roger's place whenever I can.

I used to do Muay Thai and MMA at Carlson's in Hammersmith but have decided to focus on the grappling as that's what I find most enjoyable.

I missed most of the tournaments this year due to injury but am keen to compete some more.

sounds good mate, Im a mere whitebelt but have been doing no gi for around a year, I'm gonna be defending my under 78kg title at a grapple comp at the end of july! shits gonna go downnn! I agree about grappling being one of the funnest parts. deffo my favorite.
