[QUOTE="Jhamilton, post: 278748, member: 1604"] I normally don't post here but I just had to add something to what Robbo was saying. As he said, I've stopped my fight training for a period of time in order to focus more on my physical fitness & conditioning. Last year I was reading some stuff on Karl Gotch, who wrote something like, "Conditioning is the best weapon." When I was training I noticed that I wasen't progressing at all and no matter how much I understood about the "Why" the issue was always the "How." I had done what I know now was just wrong. My "Fitness" had taken a back seat to my "Fighting" I was whipping the wrong horse....so to speak. If you want to go back to the Movie refrence..Simon Phoenix was a highly aggresive, Intelligent, [B]Fit[/B], Psychopath..and armed. He was dangerous before the "training" and would be dangerous no matter what time he lived in. He killed police officers in his time too..not just the new age "soft" ones. The fight "training" only honed an already sharp knife. I guess the only thing I can add is just my opinion. (which is worth what it costs) Training for a fight (Street or Ring) is a noble thing, but more then that you should be training for "Life." You'll spend more hours of your life out of a fight then in one. Train for a healthy body, keep a sharp mind, & a sound soul. And as Marc Denny puts it, "Walk as a warrior, for all of your days." I believe that God puts people here to stand against all the horrible things that are out there. Those who will dispatch with fire & force if they have to. They just have to stay away from the drive thrus and "Baconators" :puke: BTW...As of today I have dropped from 346lbs to 261. I grappled recently and the whole moving myself thing was WAY easier. Now I have to develop a ground game..I can't just count on my weight. (as much) When I hear someone say "do the work" ALL I can think is, "go to the gym first." Thats where all fights are really won.
