I've been training in karate for over 6 years and I trained in BJJ for over a year. I was never a big athelete in high school and I'm a couple of decades older than most of my classmates, so I'm not really MMA material! However, I'm a big UFC fan (it's just about the only thing that I watch on tv). I wasn't able to train this summer to do the fact that I was out of town training to fly a "shiny new jet." However, now that I'm furloughed I can make up for some lost time, and my karate instructor wants me to test for black belt next spring.
