My First MMA Fight

[@kurt942003]

I’ve had a few mma fights (very early mma), several kickboxing, boxing, and bjj matches. I understand the feelings you had very well. I saw a flash like that when I got knocked out (only one time, at least), but the feeling you get when you win, or even survive in some cases, is unbelievable. It’s not dominance for me, it’s more overcoming and pushing myself. Thanks for the video/experience, man. You helped me relive my youth a bit…lol.

[@markpatterson766]

This is the best KZbin video of all time. It has everything you could want from KZbin in just one video: - Simplified cast lineup Being John Malkovich style - Two of the best double leg takedowns you have ever seen - Nutrition Analysis - Psychological introspection - A complete mini instructional of how to upgrade your position after a takedown in MMA - Cockpunching - No reference to anybody who does BJJ

Oh man you got that gorilla strength. And your knowledge of judo positions and throws will help you simply because most people in bjj don't waste their time with takedowns. More focused on knee picks and ankle picks and pulling guard.

My first fight was at the age of 34 and my last fight was a couple months before my 39th birthday. I finished 2-1. I've been wrestling since I was 14 but didn't take up jujitsu in a gi until I was 38. I got my blue belt a couple weeks before my 40th birthday. I have been working for one of the largest regional promotions as a matchmaker and announcer for several years now.

[@TheAytchMan]

Bro! This video was so good. It brought back memories for me for sure. Like a million years ago before MMA was a thing or BJJ was even on the radar in the US, I used to "fight" in karate tournaments - it was more like high speed tag with hittsies. But anyway, I remember one tournament where I actually fought with Pat Smith (old school UFC fighter) in the Grand Champion round. I think I won middle weight or something. Pat knocked me on my ass when he hit me in the head, and I have video (VHS no less) with my mom screaming, "My baby!" I was like 26... Ha. But I actually won on points after a wheel kick to the head that rang Pat's bell. Good times! Thanks for bringing back the memories my brother!

I've had 1 kickboxing bout and 11 boxing. Interesting that one technique - the take down was your main game plan. I didn't really have a game plan before most of my fights but looking back all the successful bouts did involve me working out / being told one simple specific thing to focus on. Cutting weight is an absolute bitch!

Awesome story and congrats on your win. I use to box and before that I punched a bully in high school. We were in the main office with him standing in front of the doorway. The impact of my punch knocked him out of the doorway and into the hallway. That was fun and he had it coming. Even the teachers were happy about me teaching him a lesson. On a side note, I finally got promoted to my blue belt after training bjj on and off for several years. The beatings paid off.

Nice dude. I took my First MMA Fight on 2 months notice with no grappling experience other than the 2 month fight camp. I was the only amateur fight to go past the first rounds. After that I lost pretty much the way you beat your opponent. However I was hooked oddly enough the guy I thought was more of a Muay Thai Fighter, and my grappling was better than his I just gassed out. So I decided to take 5 thai fights in the span of 2 years to better my striking with 3 jits comps. This past year I've been really working on my boxing and back to my grappling. So I can step in the cage once more
