OmgItzTheMothman Posted August 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 What state do you live in? I was told that you had to be 18 to have an amature fight. And how did that fare for you? And i train mostly in jiu jitsu and the grappeling aspect of the game, but also do some kickboxing as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, on topic, I once trained at a young age. Starting at around age 8 in Chinese Kenpo Karate under my father, Chuck Sullivan, and Vic Louvox. (never could spell Vic's last name) I trained pretty seriously until I was about 13 or 14 before leaving to live with my mother. I've had very little training since then other then street fights and random scuffles with idiots and friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KansasCityKing Posted August 23, 2010 Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 i wont lie i dont know much about am. Boxing To be honest amateur boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, etc is easier when you're smaller. Especially in boxing if you can get your rythem going or work out a good strategy you can put out a good win streak fairly easily. Then take into account that a lot of small guys have to fight the same guys multiple times and it can get easier or harder. The down side is a lot of times you have to fight at different weight classes if you can't find a guy your size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OmgItzTheMothman Posted August 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2010 Yeah i plan on training for a good solid 6 months before i take my 1st amature MMA fight. I know that after 6 months i will by no means be a world class fighter, but i feel confident enough in my athletic ability and i seem to be picking it up pretty quicky as well. Also, it doesnt help that im 5'4 130lbs with a similair build to Sean Sherk, so it might be hard for me to get a fight with a guy my size Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
