I love my combat sports. Back in the day... after see UFC 1 and Hoyce Gracie (BJJ)dismantle every other martial art, I trained in BJJ for a few years. Also did a little stint at Muay Thai.
My shins are nice a dead... How did you guys deadin your shins? I used a small piece of wood and plenty of knocking and rubbing while watching TV. I also set up a heavy bag full of sand and gravel. At first I could even kick it with just let weight, but after a while 6-12mths I could step into it a kick it as hard as I wanted.
I'm slack as these days, and barely even get to watch MMA.
What ever happened to Bob Sapp lol. My favourite MMA fighter ATM is Anderson Silva. Back in the day (early UFC) do you remember a guy called Olig Tackaroff? He was a weapon, no matter how bloodly he was just kept going. Arrhh those were the good ol days. Now UFC is a 'show pony' parade. IMO.
