I've been on TRT now for nearly 6 months, and I can honestly say it's drastically changed my mood and motivation to pursue new endeavors in life.
As a kid I was always fascinated with boxing, wrestling, martial arts, parkour, gymnastics, crossfit before crossfit existed.. I partook in many forms of excercises and off beat challenges, sports, and different forms of meditation. Loved yoga, stretching, plyometrics, and all other things imaginable. I'm finally coming around to having interest in this well rounded lifestyle I used to have as a teenager again. I'm 25, and still consider myself young, but it's like I've regained lost youth.
I recently read a thread posted by Charles B in the training section and the video included has really motivated me to pursue something new.
The town I currently live in has a facility built to train individuals in MMA (BJJ and MT specifically). EDIT : A few of the trainers are professional UFC fighters. However, the owner was a long time fighter in kickboxing and held a very solid record in his professional days. I'm more interested in learning kickboxing first, and then maybe progressing into other forms of fighting later.
I'm mainly looking for guidance on the matter. I haven't had any formal training in any fighting. The small bits of fighting friends for fun, and a single season of wrestling is all I really have. Has anyone else taken up fighting later like this and had any deal of success? I'm confident in my ability to give it my all, but I'm nervous to approach people I don't know and seek training in something I'm quite literally a noob at.. I expect to have my ass handed to me, and come back day after day to the same beat downs until I've got it, it's just the initiation that's got me on edge.
Any guidance or words of motivation is helpful, thank you!
