I started Tae Kwon Do in '78. I then switched to Boxing in '80, Wrestling in high school from '85-'88.

Guess that makes me pretty darn old.

i began wrestling and doing martial arts in '87. hooked up with a Rickson affiliate (Joe Maffei) around '94. went back to boxing hardcore for a while, then went to my first real BJJ school in 1999.

Well, TMA's back in the 60's 70's and even some in the early 80's were still pretty bad ass.... shit didnt sink like the Titanic until the 80's karate movie craze hit.
