I'm 44
6' - 164 7% BF Ripped Strength and stamina to burn...spend my time now finding new ways to USE it. Still working out every morning at 5:30...working through an Animalistic Fitness program currently. (http://www.animalisticfitness.com/) Have leaned out...made the nutrition content necessary to maintain a lean body my "normal." So far I've done a half marathon (not in a hurry to do that again. LOL) a couple of Tough Mudders (I'd do that again tomorrow) and numerous 5 and 10k runs. This is the best I've felt in my life....ever. Thinking of taking up a combat based program...jujitsu or something...still studying my options as I know NOTHING about it. Kaneman...what would you tell a fit person, but a complete novice in martial arts, interested in starting down that path? |

If you are interested in a martial art, first determine why. If it's a fitness outlet, bjj is hard to beat. If you're looking for something that's incredibly effective, again bjj... though a good case can be made for muy thai, especially on the street. If you're looking for something that may not be incredibly effective, but is fun and has a fuckload of history and tradition, there's a bazillion options - various forms of karate, kung fu, etc. If you want to just be a badass killing machine, MMA is where it's at. Once you have the what sorted, figure out the where. Not all schools are created equally... most offer free trials or free classes to check out to see if you like it. Check them out and if you like it, sign up. A few things to look out for is level of instruction and honesty of the testing process. If you go somewhere that has 10 year old black belts in the kids class, turn around and leave. Ask guys, including the instructors, how long they've trained, how long it took them to get to their current belt (understand their system beforehand), and if they've ever competed. Most of the guys in at my school have or continue to compete... even the hobby guys, like me. If nobody competes or there are very few who do, it's going to be hard to determine the level of training (and training partners) you'll receive. It also certainly doesn't hurt if there are some pro's that train there. |

Still going strong here. Recently received my cert for personal training and began taking clients...doing around 10 a week so far and loving it. I've focused my own fitness on power and explosiveness lately. I'm a 31 year old white guy who was never an athlete and I'm going to dunk a basketball in a regulation goal....because fuck it. I'm getting pretty close...
Here's some of the prep work I've been doing. This vid is the last of it, but this superset is 15 heel to butt squats and 5 squat jumps. (sorry about the pornstar yelling, this shit is fucking hard) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNTn6NSsQRQ And here's the result so far.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pI9ZUSfbZCU
