Hey I thought it could be interesting knowing what was your experience in martial arts and combat sports of any sorts, for how long have you practice it etc...
I have a boxing background, I practiced it since the age of 20 until now and i'm 29. In recent years the training has been scarce for various reasons, but I stay in shape and train sometimes with friends to not lose the grip. I also tried kyokushin karate (full contact bare knuckle karate) but for a few months only so that doesn't really count. I returned to boxing after this because it suited me better overall. I never turned pro because that wasn't the kind of life i wanted to live, punishing diets regularly etc... But i've had fights between boxings clubs almost since the beginning and i'm fine with that !
