thanks for the welcome. it's weird being on a forum with friendly people for once.
i've been off and on with bjj for about 4 years or so now. started it while i was in the marines, but then got out. started up with paul tom out in lindon a couple of times, but everytime i get going in a school my family stability blows up and so my money gets diverted.
i like bjj because it seems to be easier on my knees (which i messed up while in the marines). i'd like to get going with a stand up art as well, but i have to be careful about what i do. thinking about wing chun, since i've trained in that for a bit with my buddies and it seems to use mostly lower kicks. i've been looking around for a kali school, but it seems that every hint of one that has been in utah has disappeared. at least from what i can see.
besides that, i've done some boxing and kickboxing, but mostly for fun.
once again, thank you for the warm welcome, and i look forward to getting to know you all better.
