11:04 PM AJ: well you have seen UFC fights right
me: yeah

AJ: thats what it is. You train in: boxing, Eskrima, brazilian Jui-jitsu, muay thai and a few others
11:05 PM me: how many times a week you working on this now
AJ: i try and go 3 -4 times a week
11:06 PM only a few hours a day. not too much

me: how many guys work out with you?
11:07 PM AJ: um probably 4 -5 other fighters
me: the wifey likes this too???

11:08 PM AJ: yeah she think its cool, she just doesn't wan to actually watch me fight. lol. but she is going to start self defense classes here soon
11:09 PM me: you need to frigen tape that so i can see it

AJ: lol... yeah she is going to come up there one day while im training to take some photos
11:10 PM it seriously is alot of fun. and man does it keep you in shape
11:11 PM me: I am sure it has too! When is your first fight?

11:12 PM AJ: not for sure yet... in oklahoma its kinda weird... there are different promoters and they set them up... right now i have had 2 fights that aren't big name, they just guys from other places....
and we did it there...
i want to make sure i have it down before stepping in to the ring with some dude who knows to kill for fun
11:14 PM me: yeah, seriously.

AJ: but so far... its hurts.
ha ha...
me: That seems like it makes life interesting!

11:15 PM AJ: yeah it does. but the art behind everything is amazing. i love it. learning how all things fighting forms and stlyes came about, and where they came from is great

11:16 PM and the really cool thing is it becomes natural. so your body just reacts and defends or attacks no matter what... its really interesting
me: dang. your a jake bauer aren't you
jack*

AJ: ha ha... not even close
11:21 PM me: Well, be sure to keep me updated. I am heading to bed. Long day ahead of me to get ready!

AJ: yeah man for sure. be safe
