I WANT TO GET INTO MMA, HOW CAN I DO IT?
This is a very popular question, if not the most asked in public and on the web. You have to do some research in your area. No matter where you live, look for a boxing/mma/wrestling or any gym that can help you get started. If your serious and live in a small town, you might have to relocate. Find a gym that fits your style and that you can afford – then take a fight after you are prepared and had the proper training. Another thing – you do not have to be muscular or athletic to be a fighter – and you do not have to have tatoos or be a former street fighter. Know your strengths and focus on your weaknesses and you will become a great fighter – technique and cardio are extremely important in mma.
WHERE DO YOU TRAIN AND WHO DO YOU TRAIN WITH?
Ohio-Strongstyle MMA, Oklahoma-Ghost Dog - Peppe Johnson, Xtreme Combat Fitness, and The Grudge Training Center in Denver, Colorado.
DID YOU USE TO BE A COMEDIAN? DO YOU STILL PERFORM?
Yes, I still perform often and host my own show monthly. I travel and perform at college campuses and host special events.
ARE YOU STILL TEACHING? WHAT GRADES DID YOU TEACH?
I taught for 3 years, 1&1/2 years at two levels. Middle school and High school for the duration. I loved teaching, but it takes a lot of time and effort that I cant provide while pursuing another career. I have not taught school since May 2007. That’s when I decided to do this full time.
