Greetings

Hello all... This is my first time blogging so I will use this first to tell you a bit about myself and what this Blog will be about.

First off my name is Don, 31 years old. Married, 3 kids.
I started in the martial arts when I was about 5 with my brother and sister. I studied various styles on and off over the years sadly I never had the opportunity to stick with one art very long. As of late I am studying Brazilian Jujitsu and Mixed Martial Arts, from this point on both will be shortened to BJJ and MMA respectively. I train under instructor Greg Smith who is at the time of this posting a purple belt under Royler Gracie and David Adiv. (I will post more on the history and background of the styles and people mentioned at other times)

I am currently a 1 stripe white belt. (ranks to be explained in the future)

As this blog progresses I will give my thoughts and opinions on everything from professional fighters, my training both martial and physical, as well as some background on various art forms I have studied. Not all styles I know about are styles I have physically tried but many are ones I have studied the history of. I will talk about all of it.

I hope you will enjoy my blog. If you comment please keep it clean if there is a topic or something you would like me to go into further detail about please ask. I will try to keep this as open as possible. but remember these are my thoughts and observations. You are free to agreee or disagree as you feel. Thank you and Enjoy.
