Hi Folks!

[Erik]

Hi People,

I just wanted to introduce myself here.

I'm Erik, I do a variety of grappling sports ranging from Judo and BJJ to submission wrestling. Did a little MMA, Eskrima, kung fu san soo, and some kickboxing (not a lot).

I'm a nice, friendly, supportive guy so long as we don't start discussing Middle East politics (my undergrad specialty).

I was a bouncer during grad school and now enjoy being a lazy engineer, sitting in front of a computer and not dealing with drunk frat kids in the evenings.

Hello and welcome.
If middle east polotics and such will make you not a nice, friendly, supportive guy then avoid the study. unless that makes you a HAWT nice friendly supportive girl... then well nevermind.
Never take me to seriously. Seriously don't... yeah welcome and forgive the bad jokes from me

Greetings, Erik and welcome to Martial Talk. This is a great place to discuss things in a friendly manner - you'll find the discussions are well-monitored to avoid sniping and flaming, language filters are in place and gosh darn it, there's just a bunch of nice, smart folks here.

Have a look around, enjoy your stay and happy posting. (and, er, do avoid the political discussions in the study)
