MMA ( Mixed martial arts )

Yup. As in do they have a Web page I can look at rather than the gymbox link

Sure - this is the team website as opposed to the Gymbox one. Cesar is the main instructor and there are a number of other black, brown and purple belts that assist with coaching also

Great, I'll try and make it along soon. Will pm...

Chainbreaker, is it a bit out of the way for you?

I don't think I'd like jujitsu. Sweaty smelly men are bad enough at kicking distance, all that sitting on top of each other and wriggling round can't be pleasant.

it is slightly, but im finding it very hard to find anything that is convenient. Knowing me, ill probably do it for a few months and then give up. But...

Hawkward semi

ChainBreaker which part of town do you live in?

South East London around Lewisham.

I did judo (my discipline) in Canary Wharf recently until i found out it wasnt British Judo Association.

I live in peckham rye/nunhead which is perfect for my gym as I can get the train directly to Farringdon if I time it right, and that carries on to Lewisham I think (Sevenoaks service). Good that you've done judo, definitely gives you a potential edge when it comes to standup techniques. Definitely give jiu jitsu a go!

^ WOOOOO! YEAH! GET SOME! WOOOOOOOOH! is the only thing I hate about MMA

These are the roots of the UFC, but things are no longer like this for the record. At least not as much.

I think Just Bleed guy epitomises the bad old days (and affliction t shirts [and bedazled true religion jeans {and ring card girls}])*

* OK some of that is still there.

No way dude, there's definitely so much of that left haha. The backwards caps and Tapout/Affliction/Dethrone douchebag uniforms will always make their appearances

Trust me broh I trane UFC k?

Now that I can pronounce Joanna Jędrzejczyk's name, I am fully backing her this weekend vs Carla Esparza.

I wasn't sure I would get this ppv but the card is getting more and more interesting. That's what they do, they suck you in with promos. Oh well.

Was tempted to give this a go but the reluctance to being kicked in the head eventually won out. On the other hand, I've now started following mma/bjj stuff and the missus thinks I'm becoming a "bro".

@well_is_it
Pro tip from someone who knows: Just be an immense pansy-nerd who fiddles with scales and thermometers just to make coffee and reads books like "the elfstones of shannara". It will throw her off the "bro" scent.*

* probably also a good reason to be reluctant to join an mma gym.

It will throw her off the "bro" scent.

DayZ and altered states of consciousness.

That makes sense. Be careful with DayZ though. It's within spitting distance of COD and Halo; two of the broiest games around.

There is an element of that but I mostly play it for the barbecues and getting run over by @Vesalius

Mixed martial arts?! Where am I? What year is this??

1994 brah!

The silliest thing I ever heard...

Anyone know how to watch UFC 189 online?
Can't work out how to stream it in the uk. Don't mind paying but still can't work it out. The UFC website doesn't seem to like uk streaming. Any ideas?

Phew worked it out.
