He was actually Competing In Judo and Ju-Jitsu Tournements on a National Level before MMA existed ,,at the ripe old Age of 42 he,s over the Hill,,he,s a master of the Take down and the ground Game and while he,s supposed to be Very good with his hands his specilty is teaching his advanced students how to think 3-4 moves ahead of their opponents fun stuff to watch if your a purist

That an awesome accomplishment! I took Zen Do Kai as a kid and made it to brownbelt but lost interest since guitar playing took up so much of my time. I did train under Michael Campos though

Great accomplishment for you son FF. We know you have put that much effort into sammich making too. :laughing9:
The Difference between eating one of my Sammiches and My Son getting his hands on you is about the same Your going to get choked out either way,,just my Sons way will probably be more pleasant and you,ll recover faster:lol:
