I’ve decided that it was time for me to get back into shape because I am really starting to put on some weight. While most people would do something sensible like start jogging, doing some crunches or lifting weights that just seemed too easy so like everything else in my life I took it one step further and decided to try out a mixed martial arts FULL CONTACT mixed martial arts class with my little brother on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays

Not only did my little brother throw me around the mat like I used to do him about 4 years ago it was sparing night where you had to fight everyone in the class until one person gives up. So my first couple of matches I am doing good and actually get two smaller guys to tap out and I am pretty proud of myself. Then I get to go up against a black belt from my brother’s academy and I think I am doing pretty good until trying to put him in a leg lock and he reverses it and my knee makes the loudest pop I have ever heard and I scream out like a 3 year old who just lost his favorite blanket. So for the rest on the night I am hoping around like and idiot and then this morning my knee is about two times the normal size and I have a huge bruise on it.

You can see a picture of it here*

*I have very hairy legs and that my knee really hurts (stop laughing) .
