What Do You Wish You Did More Of?

@Adogslife what did you train and compete for?

@Primnproper Kali is a martial art primarily focused on stick and knife fighting. It’s not popular like MMA, so the opportunity to compete against other practitioners (live) is infrequent.

It’s also illegal in most states to charge admission for fights because a weapon is involved. Fights have to be “exhibitions” where both parties win (in theory), unlike MMA, boxing, kickboxing or Muay Thai…

@Adogslife oh wow, that's interesting. How long had you been doing it.

@Primnproper I have experience in wrestling, karate, wing chun, jkd, boxing and kali. The last 2-3 years have been pretty much all Kali with maybe 10% boxing.

I had one fight in Dec that went well. The next is looking like June. My goal is to get good enough to fight with/for a group called The Dog Brothers at one of their “Gatherings”.

If you look up Dog Brothers Gathering on YouTube, you’ll get an idea of how/what I train for. It’s my own personal release which is incredibly fun for me. Others think I’m nuts.

@Adogslife well looking at your age if its right of course would make it impressive.

@Primnproper 😂 the age is definitely correct. I’ll be a year older next week too.

@Adogslife well then I’d say you’re doing pretty well!
