My hobbies are fighting, learning classical music on piano, learning guitar solos, learning Blues Traveler harmonica solos, reading books - usually informational books like encyclopedias and History textbooks, watching comedy shows, creating stop motion animation using my camcorder and GI joes, making videogames, writing choose your own adventure books, writing novels, meditating, Lucid Dreaming, playing videogames - espcially street fighter, creating card games, creating board games, getting .. and meeting people, writing lots of different kinds of music. I enjoy testing my ability to write music in every genre...country music continues to be the hardest to write because I don't listen to it except for the dixie chicks a little. I also like to memorize lyrics to songs, particularly rap songs because theyre fun to sing. I like going to concerts, but I don't like being in them yet. I like shooting a bow and arrow,and shooting my pellet gun at targets, going to parties, I also like working because I like to meet all kinds of new reasons. I don't watch much tv because I enjoy using my imagination instead, but I like watching the discovery channel and learning things like science stuff and watching jeaopardy. I like to lift weights and drilling techniques for fighting, not just fighting itself all the time. Oh and I like beating up black belts in karate when they think they are all big and bad. I like watching white belts in jiu-jitsu beat up black belts in karate and crappy martial arts because Jiu-jitsu is better and more effective 90% of the time (at least it used to be before the advent of MMA.)I like fishing, and camping, and I'm sure I'd like swimming if I could actually do it without doggie paddling. I like inventing jokes and sayings (like this one I wrote: "Q: What do you call it when you punch an obese guy in the belly? A: Hurting his feelings"...get it..most obese people eat when they are depressed..eat their sadness... nevermind)
Anyway, I'm a fighter, and musician. brazilian jiu-jitsu UFC style, but amateur. I practice MMA which stands for Mixed Martial Arts. MMA fighters are divided into strikers and grapplers usually. Strikers include boxers, kickboxers, karate, kung-fu muay thai, and people who generally punch, kick, elbow and knee their way to victory, via knockout or doctor stoppage because of the blood. Grapplers are wrestlers, submission fighters and jiu-jitsu guys who prefer to take the striker down to the ground where his fancy punches and kicks are useless. Some grapplers strike -usually only punch- and only after they tackle the opponent to the ground. This is called "ground and pound." Other grapplers prefer to breaks their arms, or legs by snapping the joint in a direction it isnt supposed to go, or choke the opponent unconscious for a win by TAPOUT, or they passout or break a bone. I train both striking and grappling, so I can be as well rounded as possible. For striking, I think karate and kung-fu for the most part are crap. The irony is that they are the most popular. The movements in these martial arts aren't effective because they use silly stances and cause the fighter to be off balance. For my striking, I rely on boxing (focuses on punching,) kickboxing and tae kwon do (focuses on kicking,) and muay thai (focuses on clinching, knees and elbows.) For my grappling I have learned wrestling and judo (for taking the opponent to the ground,) submission fighting, Sambo, and Brazilian Jiu-jitsu (for positioning on the ground and being able to submit the opponent by breaking his arm, leg or choke him from almost any position.) Also, I have videos of me fighting and playing guitar on www.putfile.com/tapoutwrestler
