what's your style?

hardstylin · #3 (**permalink**) Aug 19, 05

ground and pound/submission
good striking, i have quick hands and ive got good knees/elbows

Ive been busting my ass the last 4months hardcore and want to get a fight goin for late sept early oct if i can.

im a Welterweight

I REALLY want to get my foot in the door at any event, but it has to be an mma event no tough man shit.

I know PG holds events but all the links i find are fuckin dead.

Lot's of the big kickboxing and boxing fight nights are put on by Gerry Gionco, and Mike Mamood (sp?) puts on the ones in Nroth Van at the Capilano Frist Nations Rec Centre. I've fought on one of Gerry's cards before, out in Cloverdale.

Ya the big barn place in Cloverdale is called the Agriplex, they hold a bunch out there. There's aso the Rodeo Cloverdale Rodeo I think they have fights there too. Last time I fought at the Agriplex was in Febuary 2003

I was taking bujinkan taijutsu for about a year, but slacked and stopped going. I need to start doing that again.

there's a guy on commercial drive who is straight from the gracie school... trained the last few champions. seriously. $180/month for three lessons a week.
