Thread: Hello To All

My name is shane woods i have been training in martial arts for 14 years i have a backgroud in thai boxing and also aikido.
i am looking for local events to enter myself and a couple of the guys and girls i train with into.
i live in newton aycliffe near darlington i am keen to get started as i have been cross traing for about 2 years and would like to get into some competitions to see if the training is paying off.
i would also like to hear any training tips you have to offer as i have just started a long journey into mma hopefully and would like to gain as much knoledge as i can.

thanks for your time and get back to me with any comments laters

Hey, welcome Shane, nice to have someone with your experiences here

Welcome to the Forum shane, are you looking to do mma fights, muay thai, or aikido?
If its mma have you done any wrestling or BJJ, once again mate welcome

Thanks for the warm welcome lads!
i have done no bjj or wrestling but one of the guys i train with has done bjj for a couple of years.
i am looking to compete in a few local mma fights as are the lads that i train with do you know of any up comming shows in the norht east that i could put a few weights into to see if we could get matched?

Well before competing in MMA i'd do some BJJ for a bit mate. Otherwise you're gonna get absolutely slaughtered on the ground.

Welcome.
