Congrats TimmyDome, also Timmy just a heads up, I know your in Orange County, theres a boxing gym on 208 about a mile north of 17, American Self defense and fitness, if you want a place to hit the bags.

supernaut, I know exactly where American Self Defense And Fitness is. Before my brother moved out to California he lived in Cornwall and worked out there. This was when I was in 8th grade, my mom used to bring me to his house and I would go there and work out with him. Believe it or not, that is the place where I was first introduced to grappling. My brother's friend was living in Japan and when he came home to the U.S. he would work out there with us. He did Japanese Jiu Jitsu but it seemed like very basic submission wrestling. We rolled around in the boxing ring upstairs because the floor of the ring was like a wrestling mat.
