Official Introductions Thread

TheGame46 · 08-31-2006

Just wanted to introduce myself. I am the head trainer at flawless training, which is traditionally a fitness based site. But recently with some new research I developed a program I called GTP that has been having awesome results in bodybuilders. This combined with the great surge and my personal interest in MMA has put me in a new venture. I am currently working on using these new principles geared towards improving MMA fighters.

I used to box and wrestle and played college football. My Martial Arts experience was limited to some "tae kwan do" but I am looking to broaden my horizon and begin training in more MMA. So I am here to learn and contribute. I also have an extensive background in supplement research and development if you have any ?'s I'd be more than happy to answer them.

Welcome 'TheGame46'. i feel my knowledge of most common (and some uncommon) Martial Arts is pretty decent so if you have any ?'s then feel free to ask. I'm sure if i can't answer the ? someone in the forum will.

So are you going to be training to fight or just train?

TheGame46 · 08-31-2006

Right now I am trying to develop a new form of strength and conidtioning training to give fighters an edge using some very new research that I applied to bodybuilding with great success. I myself would like to begin some MMA training myself for recreation and maybe compete sometime in the future.

Welcome aboard sir. I hope you enjoy your experience here. It sounds like you will have some good information to provide and i hope you will learn some new things from the other members as well. There are not alot of members posting yet but that will change with time.

Have a great day.

I went ahead and made this the official introduction thread so here I go...

I started watching MMA because of the Sega Dreamcast game. I know that is a hell of a way to get into Mixed Martial Arts. LOL, I played it with some friends and the next thing you know I was buying tapes and dvd's like a madman. I have been hooked ever since and try to get all the info I can.

I have been a big Gung Fu movie fan since before I can remember and used to watch the hell out of WWF and pro boxing but once I found MMA that all changed. I still love Gung Fu movie's but the days of loving WWF and Boxing are long gone now.

I have no formal training background unless you count a few months of karate when I was 5. I workout at least every other day as hard as I can untill I can't go any more and I do some grappling and sparring when I can with some friends that get together on the weekends.

Well that about sums it up.

here's my version.

I've basically been into Martial Arts (all types) since i was about 12 (i'm 27 now), although i did go to Karate when i was 8 but didn't stick it.

i've also kickboxed.

The Art i stuck to the most is Lau Gar Kung Fu but still trying out other arts aswell. i tried bjj about 3 years ago and got hooked this progressed to joining a Vale Tudo club 2 years ago. i'm still waiting to be signed up for my first fight, the longer i wait the better i get.

i took iyengar yoga up about 1 year ago (if you haven't already, try it)

aswell as training i love the philosiphy behind the practical work. hence me trying out as many arts as possible.

Any questions just asked, or i'll be here all week.
