[QUOTE="Dantheman, post: 2137469, member: 213032"] ok, well imma try to be moderate in this subject. I have been doing mma for a little under 2 years. I don't train at a dojo, i train after school with other guys whoa re around my age. We all teach each other, when I was younger there were indeed older guys who helped me. HOWVERin those two years, 2.5 months i was on the wreslting team, 2 months was taught by the best guy in our club 1 on 1, and 2 months i was acutlaly at a real mma shcool.
