Subject: Re: 135-156lber NEED CAMP AND TRAINER Author: Neal Weaver [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:35:56 04/22/08 Tue In reply to: standing kimora 's message, "135-156lber NEED CAMP AND TRAINER" on 06:55:36 04/22/08 Tue There are several places in that area that are going to be able to train you. I'll go ahead and tell you this though. Forget considering yourself as a "fighter" because you are not. Just go in and train for a while (6-12) months and then the fighting will take care of itself based on where your skills are then. Nothing irks me more than someone with limited training coming in telling me they want to fight first thing. Not because they will be bad, but they have WAY too high expectations as to where they stand, expectations that get mashed pretty fast when they hit the mat with people who have been training dilligently for a while. Just go to one of the places near where you live and start training there. dont mention fighting for a while or wait till someone brings it up to you, thats the best way. What do you consider a reasonable fee for training BTW (that is more a curiousity question). [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: 135-156lber NEED CAMP AND TRAINER Author: Standing Kimora (confused) [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 20:01:29 04/22/08 Tue I am a fighter and whether it irks you or not find an event and a 135lber youve been working for a while and i will show you something to get irked about.sooo please i read your post for your draft and i think the 50$ fee is more than reasonable considering its a standard in all gracie academy affiliates. Do not judge me from an internet post because it irks me that you consider me not to be a fighter because im not 40 years old with a washed up record and having to resort to drafting from forums for $$$$ so with all aggression aside by all means find a local event and a 135er your confident in that came from your camp. AND I WILL WORK HIM. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> Subject: Re: 135-156lber NEED CAMP AND TRAINER Author: Standing Kimora [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 22:07:24 04/22/08 Tue I am eagerly awaiting a response in regards to you finding a 135er or a 145er that can cut. As for the shock of being on the mat for the first time, i roll with 165 and believe me i have tasted sweat and blood both my partners and my own.For someone speaking of lack of expirence you analyze things a little more cautiously especially if your a trainer or corner man because fueling fire with no water is just a waste of both my time and anyone else that read your criticizing response for my search for a full time training facility to represent.To be great you must first be humble but it will take a better man to humble my heart.
