Muay Thai & MMA Anyone? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Any of you guys follow it? Fans? Fighters?

I have a few friends that fight in Amateur bouts in CT and MA. I was going to start a training routine to transform my interests from follower to a fighter. But sadly I moved and lost that great opportunity. I'm currently thinking about joining a team based here in OK. So we'll see how that plays out.

What do you guys think about it? Which leagues do you follow?

To dig a little deeper, I'd plan on training in Muay Thai and JuJitsu heavily with some extensive crash courses in Jeet Kune Do. I formally did western style boxing and was pretty good, but I was careless and didn't put any real effort into learning techniques. I was a brawler I guess.

So what's your cup of tea?

Rofl. I enjoyed that movie greatly. One of my favorite low budget comedies.

Cage fighting is probably a favorite of mine. Octagon FTW! You a UFC fan or what?

A close friend of mine is currently training to fight in MMA. He wants to fight in UFC at 155 I believe. Anyone that does that shit and does it well is fucking crazy, make no mistake about it. What a profession... yeah, I beat dudes with my bare hands all day.

And yes, I think it is the NFL of the future. MMA is amazing.

Yeah, I started boxing as a way to get back into shape and it progressed into a means to let out pent up agression and frustration. I was once a very angry kid. It's enjoyable as all hell to get into a ring and just duke it out.

The 155 weight class is scary as hell. Those guys are so small but they pack a punch. I've never seen guys so damn fierce.

Lol, As a correction... They aren't exactly small, but I'm 6'1" and weight 200 even. I'm not exactly big though.

In my opinion if you want to suceed in MMA, boxing, jujitsu and wrestling its all you need

I train Kickboxing as a way of getting in shape.
My trainer (a good friend of mine) is a Muay Thai's FL Amateur champion (2005 I believe). His brother is US and Canada's Amateur champion (again, 2005 I believe) and is going to Holand shortly for (his first?) professional fight. I cannot recall all the details right now, sorry!
