Who used to box?

I'm not talking street-fighting, I mean amatuer at the park, in the gym, with headgear and gloves...go to tournaments..win trophies etc.

Or pro even..tell the truth, no story-tellers..

I'll go first,

I started out boxing for Pico Rivera Boxing Club when I was a kid then went to stay with my sister and trained and boxed for Santa Ana Boxing (called ORCO Orange Co. Boxing Club back then) then boxed in the Marines for the 1st Marine Division Boxing Team.

I didn't start out so good with 4 straight losses my first 4 fights; then I got the hang of it and ended up doing O.K.

Record 12-8 from 80 to 88 (off and on not 8 yrs straight)

in soledad in '77 i use to box a taste in the gym on north facility. i had a thousand sparring sessions but no actual fights on record. but dammmmm, almost every one of them sparring sessions were serious. back in them days in soledad the OFFICAL boxing team from soledad use to fight outside squads from the marine base and other people and they had inter-instutional cards. like north facility vs central or north vs south...
also back then if you had a beef with someone there was always the option of taking it to the gym. you had to get em up undercover cause if the co's got wind of it it was all about that 128 or 115 (write-up's)...

I trained jiujitsu with the Gracies and before that Okinawan Karate.

I think boxing or Muay Thai and Judo or Jujitsu or Brazilian Jiujitsu is the best combination in my opinion but everyone seems to have a different one.

alot of the MMA fighters train in MT for strikes, Greco Roman wrestling for takedowns, Juijitsu for submissions and grapples... crosstraining is the key for success...

Speaking of cross training; in the real world (not just the ring) some folks crosstrain in knife fighting and gunz too.

I've also seen folks try to master everything and not be very good at anything. I've also seen those who seem to know all the moves right out the book but have no deep technique acquired from a true authentic source.

I saw you claim a black belt in jiu-jitsu. That's no joke at the Gracie academy. A lot of other schools hand them out much faster.

Question for Digital_Designs:

I've been thinking about getting into Aikido. What can you tell me about it?

Thanks, Impala

I earned my belts, Ive been doing BJJ for about 9yrs and TKD and Aikido for 17yrs. Im not saying Im a master, but Im very comfortable with my skills when it comes time for a fight. You cant get in the cage/ring and be a pure striker (MT/TKD/AKB etc.) and expect to win consistantly. As soon as the fight hits the ground you are gonna get eaten alive. Just like if you are a ground fighter (BJJ/GRW etc.) if you cant get a takedown you will forced to standup and will get KTFO; thus the need for crosstraining

. Which Gracie did you train under? I was at a seminar Rickson did a few years back and had the chance to roll with him. Needless to say he had me in a Kimura in about 5minutes and I was sore for about a week from im cranking the he11 out of my arm

Instead of focusing on punching or kicking opponents, its teaches you to use an opponents own inertia/energy to gain control of them or to throw them away from you. It is not a static art, but places great emphasis on motion and the dynamics of movement. Alot of women/smaller men /older people prefer it for that very reason.. (ex. why would a 5'2 102lb woman want to slug it out with a 6ft 250lb man when she could manipulate a throw and get a nerve lock in and have the man p1ssing in his pants

)

Your answer is just what I thought Aikido was; confirmed by you and I'm convinced to seriously go check out a Dojo here in the L. A. area.
Just to observe, then decide to commit.

Thanks again, Impala

That is the right time frame. You've got real skills then. Above and beyond. Funny thing about BJJ is there are some purple belts out there that can put it down. You don't often see that in other disciplines. I trained at the Ralph Gracie Academy. Rickson gets a lot of criticism from "internet warriors" because he doesn't choose to enter the ring that often but every single person who has ever rolled with him says exactly what you just said. You with the Machado's? PM me with it if you don't want it on the forum. Peace.

Don't commit until you also check out BJJ Impala. You might find the environment and style more to your liking.

Your good enough. Papillon wrote his book in like several months while living in South America (he couldn't go home to France because he was an escaped convict in France) and he didn't know how to write any better. He just wrote it down, submitted it to a French Publisher and bam: book and movie.

OMG StateRaised! Whoa. That place was Hell on earth. And he walked in there to get his business done. I don't know if I personally could sacrifice all to go there and encourage them but I know some people that could. That was a heavy place for sure.
