Wow all they guys reccomending MMA are giving great advise...Find a good school with alot of competition to back them up..as for they guy that said he took Kenpo and is untouchable- what the F**k ever iam a 1st degree black belt in kenpo and ill show the certification to back it up with over ten year of trainng i still got my *** wooped the first time i stepped on a mat in a BJJ school.. I reccomend taking Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and getting your ground game up to par. See if you can find a good MMa school so you can focus on NoGi. After you get your ground right take Muai thai to let your hands be the Icing on the cake. if you still want more then take wrestling for more ground tech. and then Judo for takedowns. I dont like to stand up and strike to much because you are always one punch away from getting knocked the F out and i dont like to try too many submissions because there are alot of ground techincians around so i concentrate and the guys i traind with mostly work on ground and pound. alot of training goes out the door when you got elbows coming at your face..LOL.. MMA works on any level from the pros to the bar and in the Battlefield..we were taught alot of Bjj type stuff before we went to Iraq

^ I'm the opposite of you. i like to stay on my feet for the duration of the fight... my ground game is WEAK... if i'm not in control i'm just not fast enough on the ground to do anything but try and escape. I've had 3 years of martial arts (Kenpo + Boxing + random moves i've picked up here and there) and i can handle myself in a street fight but... The few times i've sparred with MMA guys it was over before i even saw it coming... we're taking about 20 or 30 seconds, then a takedown, and the fights over: i lose lol.

one of these days i need to get into an MMA school...

canfield, OH??! you're not that far from pittsburgh, huh? i know there's a water tower and cornfields there drivin up I-76

Yeah dude, good call. I mean Canfield always gets that reputation about the cornfields and all. Hell Canfield used to be Cornfield long *** time ago, so maybe that is why. But you have to go pretty far out to get to some. Canfield is actually getting pretty commerical and to tell you the truth, I dont like that. I was up in Pittsburgh this past weekend for my girlfriends cousins birthday party. Its about 1 hour from me.
