Busy life indeed Thats awesome! I have been to all four corners of the Country ( UK ) Boxing and sparring with up and coming Champs / Contenders. I also have Instructorships in JKD, Kali, Panantuken boxing, Krav Maga, Eskrima, the list goes on. Fought Professional MMA at the age of 17 winning both my fights via KO. MMA was still unheard of when i was a teenager and matching up opponents was difficult. My first fight was against a guy who was 27 years old! My second fight was against a guy aged 25....

You dont hear of that happening much nowadays do ya haha Eskrima and kali are freaking awesome I wish I could learn both arts. I love all weapons and everything about them lol. Too bad these martial arts are pretty much non existent here in the Netherlands. I have done some heavy bag training but I can't really call that boxing because I can't spar because of an accident I have had when I was younger. It's awesome that you have instructorships in so many martial arts! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's awesome that you have instructorships in so many martial arts! You should check out Panantuken boxing that was my favourite of all the arts. Knowing all these arts means nothing if a man cant control his Nerve in real life situations. Iv seen many man and so called Martial art tough guys put fast asleep in street situations time and time again. Safe to say iv alot of experience in the Martial arts but nothing compares to The reality of Street fighting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people have told me that it's useless to learn an empty hands martial art if I can't spar but I don't really know since I don't have any knowledge about the subject. I have been told that I am gifted with punching power but punching power alone doesn't mean anything without technique. I agree with you about the control part. The real tough guys usually don't even tell people about them knowing martial arts. The so called tough guys go out and tell everyone they are doing martial arts and think they are tough. I agree man street fightning is a whole different world. All the knowledge about martial arts doesn't have to mean anything when there's no rules, weapons etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 32 years old. I was a student under Rick Young from Edinburgh and George Hale of West Yorkshire. I was supposed to be the first guy in West Yorkshire to achieve a Instructorship under the Legendary Dan Inosanto but things happened and i went down the fighting path instead.

If you are only 32 and just discovering grip now and doing all these feats already, you sir, are one to watch.

Spread the word, this is fun stuff, and believe it or not, good grip strength correlates positively with other great traits, most notably longevity.

I actually feel like I appreciated my youth and relished what I knew was temporary, so I can't complain. And I still do that now, for pretty much the same reason - because 52 will seem young when I am 80 like my parents (who also seem to be doing a pretty good job of enjoying what time they still have). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True I guess but then again the beauty of grip is that you can still make good progress when you are older. It doesn't regress like muscle mass and strength do.

At 25 i was unfortunate that i nearly lost my life to a blood clot and had my License Revoked. 1 week in intensive care and 3 weeks recovering on a Vascular unit. 3 - 4 years Taking Warferin ( blood thinners ) for recovery. Its been up and down for 6 years but i feel at my strongest now! I dont care that im 32 i still believe i have what it takes to pull off my dream in boxing which is to have one of the best most entertaining fights ever! A fight people will remember forever...
