Do any of yall know what MMA is? If not, then no one will understand what I'm talking about XP
ANYWHOO! I had a MMA Grappling tournament last saturday and it was awesome! I won somewhere around four or five medals of anywhere between 1st and 3rd place at it and almost broke my left arm to boot! -^.^- It was fun though. And the guy I was fighting against is my usual rolling partner so it was nothing new. I er... we... knew who'd win from the git-go but it didn't stop me from trying. He caught me in an awesomely amazing arm bar and the ref had to tap for me because I couldn't feel that my elbow was about to break. lol. It was, honestly, about 2 or three inches ABOVE where it stops when you straighten your arm out.
Do it folks; stick your arm out straight and then add 2 or 3 inches with your other hand and that's how high my elbow was. It's a miracle it didn't break from that!
When I saw it on my mom's camera I laughed. I think I said something like, "Holy crap! My elbow really was about to break! Hahaha!" And I kept laughing XD Am I messed up in the head or what? Maybe I've finally had one too many blows to the head and it's messed me up for good XD I mean, I get beat up 3 days a week by the same guy that almost broke my arm! And he's only 13! He kicked my butt lol Aaaaand I need to stop rambling now X3
XDD

MMA is Mixed Martial Arts and I had a ton of fun! Even the arm about to break part was fun! I laughed afterwards because I didn't feel it when he was doing it.

I think it's because MMA is starting to become more well-known outside of its ton of fans and the news is spreading that there's something better than WWE and all that fake fighting crap. Did you know that those fights are all just acts? I give credit to the guys for being as strong and able to fight as they are, but what they do is not real fighting. It's all choreographed. Oh! If anyone wants to see who my Sensei is and one of his fights, follow this link. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EawpsdM5raI He's the second guy to go into the octagon and his name is Sensei Mark Bailey!

^ (huh? Wats that all about? ) MMA is really awesome!! Even though I get the crap beat out of me XD I actually go practice with the older people for MMA because around here no one my age likes to get their butt kicked XD I love it to death and almost killed my mom when she threatened to take me out of it if I didnt pull up my grades. Arm bars dont work on me, my arm pops out of place then I'll roll over on their hands and start knocking the crap out of them.XD I have to tone it down when I'm in with my age group though because I hit too hard. *looks all innocent like* I only hit too hard when my temper flairs. The ref one time said that I didn't need to hit so hard, but I was barely touching them so I hit the kid with a jumping-spinning-round house (thats a kick) that knocked him to the floor unconsouce then looked at the ref and said ' Now I'm hitting hard' and walked away to help one of the older dudes practice. XD I know I have issues. I thought Master Trevor would be mad but he was laughing. He's wierd like that. If you ever want to talk about MMA experience PM me.

YAY!! Someone else who gets the crap beat out of them!! XDD How long have you been doing MMA? What's the "official" name of the style you're learning? I've been doing it for three months, about and it's called Sambo Ju Jitsu <3 <D We learning flying arm bars yesterday XD Those were fun, but MAN! I got slammed so many times from not getting it right! XD It's cool though. Arm bars don't work on me anymore either XP At my last tournament I popped a tendon in my arm and I haven't been allowed to roll since then but starting Monday I'm good to go! I just have to take it easy XP I go to practice with people older and younger than me XP Though, the youngest one there right now is thirteen and I practice with him all the time. XP He's good as crap, though. He's like three time world champ and four time national champ or something like that. XP Kid's, good man. He always beats me up XD But that's okay, because I'll be able to beat him up eventually. XD
XDD We're not allowed to actually strike each other in practice or the tournaments but my Sensei isn't worried about when and if we get into a fist fight X3 He loves my left arm XD He says when he turns me pro after my first few fights people will know to watch out for my left XP XD I like my left X3
XDD People usually can't get my temper to flare because I just don't care. XD But when they do, it does not turn out good for them. XD
My Sensei laughed yesterday because I was rollin' with Dylan, one of the guys that go there and he said to Sensei, "Can I go hard on her? I don't want to because she's a girl." That was an insult to me. But Sensei looked at him and said, "You better explode! Don't go easy on her just because she's a girl!" So he exploded and got caught in a rear naked choke. <D He was so mad and Sensei just laughed at him and said, "See what happens when you act like that? You get caught!" And he kept on laughing. We rolled for about 12 minutes, my Dad said. Everybody else in the Dojo rolled with each other a few times before Sensei told me and Dylan to go ahead and stop. He was really proud of us X3
I can't wait till NAGA comes! -^.^- I wanna see how I do and I just love the tournaments X3 MMA is so much fun X3 XDD
Totally! -^.^- I'll PM you randomly, most likely XP XD

We touch all of the 'official' styles so that we can bend into whatever they throw at us. I have taken it for about a year now. In the begining i was like ' Oh my gosh. I am gonna be killed before they even start..' Then the Suix Indian kicked in in me and I wound up beating a dude named Kenny. It was funny. I wish I could get hold of the tape they used but... >_< Kenny killed it XD he didnt take to being beat by a girl too good lol.
Flieing arm bars? *covers stomach* One of the dudes accedently drop kicked me doing that. It hurt. The dudes were freaking because they thought that he killed me XD He was a sweet heart. I looked up at him and said 'My turn!' and he almost died laughing. I keep these guys laughing. Oh. Let me tell you. One time we were rolling around on the mats on the floor and I hit the wall and we were moving away from it and I wound up back on the wall again. Same spot right, next to the mirrors. And I asked the dude I was rolling with 'Why do you keep putting me infront of the mirror?' And he said 'Oh I thought you might have needed to touch up your makeup or something.' and I glared at him, because I NEVER wear makeup and he knows that. Then I said ' No your the one that needs make up clown face because if you keep on throwin me up against that wall and the mirror might see your ugly mug and break.' They all started laughing. Those guys are like my second family.
We're allowed to strike eachother as long as we have on gloves and the guys have on all the gear. MAA is sooo much fun. I love tourniments and things the are AWESOME!!!

Yeah, same here. We do a little bit of everything, but most of it is Sambo. Cool, cool. I almost beat Dylan, one of the guys that's a higher belt than me (a lot higher XP) and it made him so mad. He wouldn't roll with me Tuesday because he was tired and was afraid I would beat him. Sensei was like, "Yeah, I'd be scared too! I wouldn't want to be beat by her either." Sensei rocks! X3
Ouch! *winces* That had to suck! I get kicked and punched in the stomach every other day because Sensei wants us to be different from the fighters who get punched in the stomach or kicked in the side or leg and can't fight. He wants us to be able to just get hit and go. Dylan kicked the crap out of my stomach while I had the gear on and knocked me back a few steps but I was still able to go. I was just like, "That was a good one. Gimme another, boy. Show me what ou're made of." And he did. He kept kicking the crap out of my stomach and I just took it. I was like, alright, let's go!
Girl, I know the feeling. I never wear makeup either and if the guys I rolled with ever said something like that to me when we were rolling, they'd get a fist in their gut or something. Maybe I'd just explode on 'em and beat 'em for it, but either way they wouldn't get away with it. Yeah, we always have jokes flying around in our Dojo too. I'm the little sister of all the guys older than me and annoying big sister/friend to the guys younger than. And Sensei adores me, so I'm like his adopted daughter. ^^ I'd hate to see someone slap me in front of Sensei and the guys at the Dojo because he would just be destroyed. Sensei would come flying at him before I could get a single finger on him. XD And not to mention Jamaal. O.O Jamaal is HUGE. I have to tilt my head back just to look at his face when I'm stanging next to him, and I'm 5'8"! We're just one BIG family there. -^.^- Yeah, if we're doing conditioning then we're allowed to strike each other but no other reason. I know!! I love it~! The tournaments are AMAZING! -^.^- I still get nervous at them. I'll be a ball of nerves until I get on the mat to start my match. After that, it's just like back at the Dojo. I don't think, I react. And that's what's made it so easy for me to do MMA. I don't have to sit there in someones guard and go, "Hmmm. What move can I get on him?" I just see an opening(or create one in most cases <D) and take it. We aren't afraid of going for someones legs when we're grappling. In fact, half the time we get tapped out by our legs being attacked. XD It's so much fun! XD

I got in a fight infront of the Dojo with my boyfriend (because he was jealous I was hanging out with so many dudes and rolling around on the floor with them) and he pulled his arm back to slap me and one of the dudes came flieing out and tackled him. I was like 'Great. I have body gaurds.' Well my boy friend said a few not to nice words and left. I turned around to see everyone at the window watching me. I went in and told them they were stalkers and kept going like nothing ever happened. Yesh, we are one big over protective family. We actually have a innitation service, you come in you see what we do, you leave come back and join, we talk a bunch of junk to you, we try to kill you when we roll with you and then in the end you get a me on your back and two big dudes shaking your hands saying "Welcome to the family. We'll see you tomorrow" Giveing you big innocent grins. XD 2/5 people come back. I put a thinker in its place one time XD I remember it like it was yesterday (thats because it was but thats beside the point) We were sitting there rolling on the floor me and the thinker dude and he had me in a choke lock and just stopped and looked at Master Trevor. He was just sitting there. Master Trevor said "Explode." and the dude I was rolling with looked at him like he was stupid. I slung my head back to hit his shoulder then arched forward, grabbed his head and flipped him over me. He was laying sprawled on his back and I got ontop of him and put a "bottle opener" on him XD (Bottle opener his the easy way to say another choke hold but it doesn't choke you it feels like someone is ripping your head off. We use weird nicknames for things XD )
To alot of the guys I am the little brother they never wanted. We are actually going mud wrestleing this weekend. They have never left me out of anything that they're doing on the weekends. Its kind of weird though because when my friends see me with them they'll ask "Which one is your boyfriend" and I just look at them like they're stupid and walk away XD. I could never think any of the guys like that. That to me is like dateing your own brother. Its WRONG. XD Anywho back on the subject. Yea the dudes that come to the Dojo from other places usually wind up saying something like 'That girl needs to come to our class and toughen our girls up" OR " Thats one girl I do not want to mess with."
I love Master Trevor he is awesome XD I wrote about him because we had to do a parper on our hero's in school. He heard about it and he gave me a nuggie. XD He's just a big kid at heart... A really really REALLY big kid. XP

Dude, can't blame 'im. I'd come flying out of the Dojo too if some guy raised his hand to one of my sisters! (Although I only have two and neither of them have come for a good while). lol I'd tell them they were stalkers too! lol Although, if my boyfriend tried to slap me I wouldn't be surprised if my entire family came out and talking him to the ground. Shohan and Jamaal and Sensei would beat the living crap out of him, assuming no one else got to him before them. lol. Heh, we have an initiation ceremony too but it only happens when we get our belts after a belt test. We have to stand there, hold our belt above our heads, and get hit by everyone in the Dojo. As soon as we join, we're a part of the family but after our first belt ceremony we're "officially" a part of the family. And you know when you're good and deep in there when all the guys start pickin' on you. Heh, Shohan, Jamaal, Dylan, and even Brandon pick on me a lot. And so does Heath and Johnathan. ^^ I love my big overprotective family X3 XD That's the way to do it man! Good job! I put Dylan in his place one time because I was rollin' with him and he asked Sensei if he could go hard on me. He said he didn't want to because I was a girl(I got mad at that, too) and Sensei looked at him like he was crazy and said, "Boy,you better explode!" And he exploded right into a rear naked choke. He thought he was all big and bad because he's a higher belt level than me and he's been doing it longer but I ended up catching him. That roll lasted about 12 minutes before Sensei told us to go ahead and stop, that we'd had the best and longest roll of anybody in the Dojo that day. :/ Everybody had gone with everyone a few times each before we were finally stopped. *pouts* I wonder who woulda won that one. It was a good roll, too! XD Don't worry, we have weird names for moves too. XD LUCKY! I wish I could go mud wrestling, but we don't do any of that. *pouts* Heh, yeah, I'd do the same thing to my friends if they asked me that. Although, from what Sensei and Shohan and Jamaal said, Brandon was really glad I joined. Apparently, he was like, "Oooh, she's pretty. " and was real happy when he found out I was joining. XP According to Sensei, in the three years Brandon had been there he had hardly said a hundred words to them but I get there and almost instantly he's a chatter box. Or, at least around me he is XD He's only 13, but I swear he could pass for 16. He's taller than me! By a few inches XP XD I couldn't date any of them, though. They're my bros, it'd be wrong just like you said. Yeah, the guys from the Dojo and anyone who knows me, whether personally or not, are always like, "I do NOT want to mess with that chick." And they'll tell other people, "Man, if you see her DON'T mess with her. She will DESTROY you." lol Sensei won't let me fight against girls in my age group and at my level because he says I will just destroy them. I have to fight people in a higher category than what I myself am in because I'm just too good to fight the ones in my category. I'd break them in half. And don't think this is cockiness speaking, this is what my Sensei himself has said about me. X3 I love my Sensei too. He's just amazing. He's always tossin' jokes around and he always cheers us on whenever we're getting close to winning a match. And, boy, when we DO win a match, he goes ballistic. And not to mention he loves to coach us when we're rollin' so that we can get even closer to winning. I know that when I win my first match, he's gonna lose it. I'm hopin' to win at NAGA. I haven't had a fair match yet, but it doesn't bother me. It just makes me better. Ya know? X3 I'd probably do the same thing, write about him I mean. He's not my hero, but I do look up to him. X3 My Sensei's just a big kid some times too. He likes to play around XD
