Donā€™t get me wrong .I am 45 and usually one of the weaker guys in the class .
However, the fact that I constantly show up and take notes is a good
I usually lose but I do put up battle .
Most of the guys and girls are 20-25 lol

I did secure a few cool wall take downs and was able to escape bad positions

The gym has several other classes as do a few others but I canā€™t handle too much .
Maybe in September.I may add a second class but that is not easy on my back

I wish I started in my 20s but my sport was tennis and I was scared of grappling and injuries
. I have overcome that fear
 
My last mma class was just as good but the coach quit
This new class does far more bjj while the old one was more wrestling
Itā€™s actually very fun to take someone down

In my 30s I did mostly Krav Maga and some MT but when a HS kid can take me down and submit me at will ..I new I had to get into grappling at 42
 
Funny .we had one really good big girl grappler who would always slam me around and defeat me every time
I never beat her and she would rag doll me
 
MMA and martial arts ore OK for fitness but real self defense is just plain dirty fighting with no rules.
Mma and martial arts are real self defense !!
So is boxing and wrestling
Go against a college wrestler and dirty shots wonā€™t achieve anything
 
If you use dirty shots then you just escalated it to life and death and your opponent will not show you any mercy
 
Personally itā€™s fun to train but I honestly donā€™t care for any fighting

You've never been in a street fight have you?

And I have yet to see a throat punch or a good kick to the nuts be useless
