MMA
A few months ago my dad and I were working out at our local boxing gym and we started talking about MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). After talking for a few minutes I decided that I wanted to give it a shot. The next day my dad called me and said he scheduled a MMA fight for December 3rd, which was in three weeks. The first thing that came to my mind was "oh crap." However, I was already committed, so the next step was to learn some MMA moves and ground work. A couple family friends, hearing of my fight, offered assistance to help teach me some grappling and jujutsu moves, so I would have a better chance in the cage in the event I ended up on the ground.
Those 3 weeks of training flew by and the next thing I knew it was fight-night! I was excited and ready to get on with it! After 30 seconds of learning my opponent’s weaknesses, I was ready to dominate with my boxing skills. Even after we ended up on the ground, I was still able to dominate with the ground work skills I was taught in that short 3 weeks of training. I won the fight 40 seconds into the second round. The huge adrenaline rush I felt when I was in that cage made me change my mind about only participating in that one MMA fight. So I have decided to give it another try. I have been scheduled to fight on February 12th at the Lansing Center, in the Capital City Cage Fight Championships.
Why Boxing?
I am very athletic, very competitive, and I love playing sports. I am willing to give any sport a chance. While in high school I played volleyball, basketball, and softball. I understand what it is like to be on a team sport and to rely on your teammates to be the best team that we can be; but boxing is completely different; it's all me, I am alone with my opponent in that ring. If I have a terrible fight it is my fault. I have to make myself train harder for the next fight. When I win and do well, it's all because of the hard work that I alone put in. The accomplishment is so much greater than winning a game as part of a team.
Boxing a great workout. When I work out hard at the gym for a long period of time I feel great going home and relaxing.
Boxing is also an adrenaline rush and there is nothing more exciting to me than that moment when you step into a ring and your name is called and all you can hear is people cheering for you and screaming your name.
