Sept. 13th, 2011. I have never been in a physical fight unless you count my brother when we were kids. I don't even watch UFC or boxing or anything like that. My opponent has had 2 amateur fights and has won both, but the guys he fought were both out of shape. He has some training in jiu jitsu and muay thai. I have obtained a muay thai trainer and a wrestling coach. I am in pretty good shape. I quit smoking cigarettes long ago, and I'm clean of weed and all other drugs for over a month now. I have been exercising regularly for the last few years but have really stepped up the training for this fight. This fight is the focal point of my life for now and the next few months. I'm not really trying to pursue a career or anything, but didn't want to back down from a challenge. My opponent and I are friends. Wish me luck!

Dude, you do some crazy shit.

Good luck and I hope it's taped so we can see!

Hmmm. That's pretty daring of you! You should learn the windmill technique!

Is it an open event? I wanna watch!

Yeah, but going pure vegan will probably make you smell bad so when you start grappling, you'll have the upper hand as your opponent starts to pass out from the BO.

Sure its at a place called World Class MMA on waters ave in Tampa, on sept. 13th at 7 pm. the time is tentative it may start a little earlier or later, but in the evening for sure. there will be video and I will post the video, win or lose for the rest of yous.

Remember to keep your head low and your jaw clenched. Only time I ever got knocked out (as opposed to choked out, which happened a few times), I was jawing with one of the guys who wasn't sparring and my opponent caught me under the chin. I'm honestly lucky to have my entire tongue.

Posted: **June 21, 2011, 11:28 am**

Don't be a typical liberal and be a cower in the face of adversity when you get punched! Win one for Veeshan sir!

Oh shit in Tampa? I'll come down and watch.

Posted: **June 21, 2011, 11:48 am**

Sept is a long way out but I'm planning to.

Posted: **June 21, 2011, 11:57 am**

What is the format? Can you use elbows and knees?

I can't say I won't like the opportunity to see you get knocked around a bit

Posted: **June 21, 2011, 2:21 pm**

I can't honestly say whether I would rather see you kick someone's ass or get your face beaten. It would be much easier to know who to root for if you were fighting someone from on here.

Posted: **June 21, 2011, 2:49 pm**

As long as there is a winner and it doesn't just turn into a hug-fest like most fights, I'll be ok!

If he wins I'll cheer for him, if he gets an ass whipping I'll assume it's his well deserved punishment for taking me into Molten Core.

Learn the Krav Maga variation on the round kick. Super-easy and quite damaging to opponent's thigh!

Kicking to the head is best done when you have already disabled them.

Then again, KM is not exactly made for sport fighting.

I would probably have my money on Kwon or Rich if I was forced to take a bet about board people in a fight.

<--- This guy doesn't swing fists, but I would highly recommend not giving it a go.

I may not be able to predict the VV ultimate champion, but I'd bet the farm that Winnow would be the first to drop, haha!

Posted: **June 23, 2011, 6:13 pm**

Man, I have been lazy since I bought my house (workout lazy). I can still hit hard though, hah!

This reminds me I need to get my heavy bag back set up and transfer to the east side KM studio.

Thanks for the VV vote of confidence though!

Posted: **June 23, 2011, 6:35 pm**

Want to feel how hard I can punch?

I don't think Winnow would go down all that fast....he looks like he is big enough to take a few down. Xyun looks wiry and wiley enough to be dangerous but I don't think he is mean enough to destroy someone's knee or something on purpose. Fairweather looks like a teddy bear type and non-threatening enough that he could probably sucker punch someone because they would look at someone else first (and we know he has a history of sticking it in the ass). Kwon would be my odds on favorite in a battle royal, but that would just make him a target.

Posted: **June 23, 2011, 8:56 pm**

How many here have actually been punched in the face? I don't mean with boxing gloves, but honest knuckle to face action?

I am not sure I know anyone that has never been punched in the face growing up. How sheltered would you have to be?

This talk of face punching made me think of this quote from the book, "Unbroken" about an American World War II officer in a Japanese prison. "The Bird" is the name of the crazy Japanese guard:

[Show]: The Bird called for the work party to line up before him and ordered the thieves to stand before the group. He then walked down the line, pulling out Wade, Tinker, Louie, and two other officers and making them stand with the thieves. He announced that these officers were responsible for the behavior of the thieves. His punishment: Each enlisted man would punch each officer and thief in the face, as hard as possible.

The chosen men looked at the line of enlisted men in terror: there were some one hundred of them. Any man who refused to carry out the order, the Bird said, would meet the same fate as the officers and thieves. He told the guards to club any men who didn’t strike the chosen men with maximum force.

The enlisted men had no choice. At first, they tried to hit softly, but the Bird studied each blow. When a man didn’t punch hard enough, the Bird would begin shrieking and clubbing him, joined by the guards. Then the errant man would be forced to hit the victim repeatedly until the Bird was satisfied. Louie began whispering to each man to get it over with, and hit hard. Some of the British men whispered, “Sorry, sir,” before punching Wade.

For the first few punches, Louie stayed on his feet. But his legs soon began to waver, and he collapsed. He pulled himself upright, but fell again with the next punch, and then the next. Eventually, he blacked out. When he came to, the Bird forced the men to resume punching him, screaming, “Next! Next! Next!” In Louie’s whirling mind, the voice began to sound like the tramping of feet.

The sun sank. The beating went on for some two hours, the Bird watching with fierce and erotic pleasure. When every enlisted man had done his punching, the Bird ordered the guards to club each one twice in the head with a kendo stick.

The victims had to be carried to the barracks. Louie’s face was so swollen that for several days he could barely open his mouth. By Wade’s estimate, each man had been punched in the face some 220 times.

Yeah... Many times. Pretty much thought that was a common thing too.

Posted: **June 24, 2011, 11:45 am**

More often trying to break up fights! Not the most comfortable feeling in the world.

Happens a bit while training too. Luckily, I have never had my nose broken. I was never prone to getting in fights, but hey, it happens.

Now punching someone in the face--there is a good bit of fun--unless you do not know how to hit.

Posted: **June 30, 2011, 2:46 am**

Today was a discouraging day. I hurt my right wrist somehow while I was training, and I got my ass kicked sparring with a girl. She hit me in the face more times than I can count, and I only got her in the face a couple of times. 4 rounds of getting punched in the face, even when she was pulling her punches sucked donkey balls. I was on the defensive and I wasn't being quick enough. I came home with a bruised wrist and a bruised ego. Nonetheless I still went to my gym for a 2nd session and practiced with the jump rope and breathing technique while hitting the bag. Luckily I have a 24 hr. gym and I'm the only one in there late at night so I can go crazy if I want. Still I have a long long way to go to have a chance against this guy. The good part is that my body conditioning is superb. I can tell that since my workouts have changed so dramatically, my muscles are being shocked and the muscle memory is being reset.

I have been keeping track of my blood pressure, heart rate, weight, bmi, and body fat percentage once a month for the last 4 months. My last check was June 7th and I was at 100/65, 93, 170, 25, and 13.1% respectively. I gained 5 pounds in April but lost it again in May when I changed my diet. Other than that I haven't fluctuated too much. My main concentration is body fat, which I'm trying to get down to 10% by the time of the fight. I'll keep you posted.

Also someone was asking about the fight rules. No elbows or knees or front kicks. Otherwise basic MMA rules, and we will have helmets and gloves.

Posted: **June 30, 2011, 3:32 am**

Most important thing: you need confidence. Being afraid is good. Use it. However, there is a difference between this and being stupid and brawling. Brawling will get you injured and certainly knocked out against someone who has more experience than you.

This upcoming fight will be a test, a big test for you. Embrace it and don't let your natural instincts take control. Learn what you are being taught! Be smart and bury any emotions once you set foot in the ring. You are a smart dude. Don't think that this short training reg is good enough--KNOW that it is. Know that you are ready. Will yourself into winning. Quite frankly, I am impressed with what you are doing. Just don't be an idiot.

Oh, and work on your footwork. That is actually like 90% of fighting. Balls of feet. You get flat-footed, you lose your power, balance and defensive capability. Hips and feet. Feet and hips. Shoulders getting tired? You done gone and fucked up.

Relax hands, good snap and followthrough.

Posted: **June 30, 2011, 4:29 am**

yea shoulders have been sore, but my waist and ankles have been sore as well. I'm getting better with my footwork but this is only week 3 of training. I'm learning to punch and kick through my opponent rather than at my opponent. Hitting an actual body for the first time today felt weird and different, especially a girl. Still, I feel confident and I can sense a little fear from my opponent. He was nagging me to move the fight closer if I'm not training. I didn't want him to know how much I'm training so I let on that I hadn't found a trainer yet. Lol. But I'm training a lot, everyday and twice a day on my 3 days off. It's on like donkey kong, as it were.

You should hit him with a banjo. (obscure "that 70's show reference)

Boxing is exhausting as I'm sure you've figured out.

I've never boxed a girl before. Kinda funny that she beat you up!

BTW, I'd get my ass handed to me as well if I went up against a very fit female in her 20's considering my age and current fitness if she could keep the fight at a distance. I'd quickly run out of steam without some endurance training. I'd have to either go Mike Tyson on her and end it quickly if possible (massive power attack) or have to use my strength advantage and try to take the fight to the mat to end it quickly with a nipple tweak.

If you're not doing well boxing, you better start considering the grappling angle. The crowd will boo but you'll last longer.

Grappling requires far more endurance than boxing.
It's much easier to train cardio endurance than it is to train muscle endurance.

Don't encourage grappling, it's fucking boring and weak. I've seen far too many fights go from awesome to what looks like a couple of drunk guys hugging way too fast.

When I go to see a ultimate fight (I know a guy that manages a bunch of amateurs so I see them semi-regularly), I consider the fight a failure if someone doesn't walk away with a fucked up face or a broken bone, or at least a concussion.

Hey smartypants, I said if you're having trouble boxing. I said nothing about endurance in that quote. God you're stupid...

He may be a better wrestler than boxer. It's entirely possible you idiot.

Boxing is exhausting. Grappling is even more exhausting. What the fuck does that have to do with me suggesting grappling if he sucks at boxing? Really. Are you people that stupid? Xyun mentioned he was getting punched repeatedly in the face by a girl. He said he wasn't quick enough, not that he was too tired.
