So I attended my first MMA class at Undisputed Boxing .

My knees are skinned, my arms ache, and my calf is cramping.

But man, that was FUN!!!

Fortunately, my partner was much more experienced than I was. And the instructor, Tim Lacyk, was pretty good. He emphasized basic wrestling moves, and he didn’t go too quickly.

I was a little freaked out by what can be done to you by some of the moves. Tim: “…and if he puts his head on the outside, you’ll break his shoulders when you flip him…”. But the other students seemed to be pretty responsible.

I think what I liked about it is that instead of working against yourself, or a machine, you’re working against a living, breathing 6 ft guy named Gordon. I think it will help motivate me to eat better and train more regularly. Every pound of fat cuts into your wind, and slows you down. And the weaker you are, the harder you’ll find it break out of aggressive moves or apply moves on your own. It’s a good workout on its own too.

Count me a fan. I wish I had tried it earlier.
