YESH!

maybe adding a little about your bio in this thread will let guys know who knows their shit

awesome work Bravo!

A little brief Bio on me:
I served in the Marine Corps for 4 years and I was a rifleman in 1st Battalion 5th Marines BRAVO Company.

I was in Afghanistan for 7 months and took part in Operation Kanjari, which was the largest helo operation since Vietnam, I've been in at least 10 fire fights and know the difference between "they're shooting at US and they're shooting at ME."

I know a lot about the weapons that I am familiar with (M16/M4/M203 Grenade Launcher/M249 SAW/M240G/MK.19/M2/60mm Mortars/SMAW/LAW/AT4) and more importantly how to use them.

I also know how to properly use my scopes, (range estimation,leading targets), various shooting techniques (positions, room clearings)

I know basic Squad and Fire Team Tactics, I know a lot of military knowledge pertaining to combat.

I have limited martial arts experience, mostly Shotokan Karate a little bit of grappling like arm bars etc and of course the terrible martial arts: MCMAP.

The weapons you choose to operate are important to an extent, but I think Bravo would agree with me that what matters most is the person behind the weapon and the training they have.

Little Bio:

I started Wrestling my senior year of high school, but later took that knowledge to my favorite sport of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I have been training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on and off for the past 3 years. I currently hold a Blue belt at this level. I am an active competitor in Grappling tournaments throughout FL and GA. I usually compete at 150 or 155 depending on weight limitations, with the lowest weight being 140 and highest 170. I do plan on only competing at 170 the future.

I have trained in boxing, muay thai, and kick boxing. I have had no competitions in these arts, but plan to become more proficient at them and compete when I move to Orlando in August 2011.

"Operation Kanjari" LMAO ROFL Do you know what "Kanjari" means in Urdu/Pashto. A whore hired for private dances. I'm curious, who named that operation? Awesome Bio by the way.

Bio:
- Karate when I was real young, just taught me some basic discipline.
- Wrestled year round in Illinois from fifth grade to senior year of high school. Placed once at state and our team took 2nd one year and was top 10 in the nation my senior year (in '09).
- No-gi submission grappling since 2007/2008.
- Recently, been training boxing and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under Roberto Traven at Unit 2 Fitness in Atlanta.
- Done some other stuff, like Judo, but for short periods of time. I usually walk around at 165 lbs.

Bio:

Found my first love in highschool....Wrestling. Ever since that fateful day where I stupidily showed up for wrestling practice not knowing anything about it, it has been in my blood. Almost everything from that point on in my life was based on wrestling and how I could get better.

I then continued that love of wrestling and wrestled for a Division 1 college.

I have been training in BJJ, Boxing, Muay Thai for around 1-2 years now. While I don't have a belt in BJJ, the skills that I have picked up for BJJ combined with the college wrestling experience allow me to handle guys that are fairly skilled in bjj.

I have won one of two BJJ intermediate competitions that I have competed in. (The other one I came in second.) --No gi since it is more like MMA.

I have had two amatuer MMA fights and I currently walk around mid 150's on the low side and I try to compete in the 135lb and 145 weight classes.

I am currently training Muay Thai from an undefeated Mauy Thai champion. Under his tutalage, I am planing on going Pro.

I also know how to cut weight for events. When I talk about weight cutting I don't mean anything under 6-7 lbs because that is easily done with running. I weighed 155 in the summer and wrestled at 133 during the season. I also was able to cut down to 128lb my senior year. Proper nutrition is 100% critical.

No idea who named it that, supposeably it meant strike of the sword. But I like whore hired for private dances better.
