What was your first MMA class like?

When?

Where?

How long did it last?

What did you learn?

Still do it?

I learned how to pass guard it was great!

Never realized the elbows dig into the thigh to get your opponent to release guard!

Also my first day I realized I don't know how to throw ANY type of punch or kick!

My first MMA class was 130 pounds ago. I was winded 30 seconds into the warmup. My training partners are, to this day, amazed I came back for a second day.

I went from HS wrestling to Judo an MMA class where guys were getting ready for fights at Reality Fighting. I learned that my cardio was complete shit and that no matter how many people said that BJJ and Judo were the same thing....they were not even close. I was tapping like Savion Glover and it was fucking fun.
