About to enroll in jiu jitsu, and i'm in an under ground fight club. I love fighting. It started in third grade when i wrestled with my friends all the way up to 5th...I left wrestling for awhile. Came back as a freshman learning the art muay thai. I go to the gym 2-3 hours a day. I have a friend (body builder) who helps me with my lifting. I love mma, i know the basic jiu jitsu submissions, and i love everything about it...The only problem is that my grades have dramatically decreased this year to F's and D's.. I love learning, i just like learning when i'm truly motivated but school has just stopped being a motivation for me. I've talked to my mom about either joining the Army or going into Mma after highschool. She thinks its insane, and my dad will think that also. But school is not my passion in life.
