meh...did Karate for a short while when I was a teenager, but nothing terribly serious.

I've thought about Muay Thai...but at 34, I realize that may not be the best choice as it's pretty hard on the body if you intend to compete or practise at a high level.

I work with a guy who has a brown belt in BJJ and will likely take him up on his offer to intro me to a good gym this summer, as I'm approaching what I consider to being in good enough shape to properly train

As one can practise jiu jitsu well into older age, BJJ is more appealing to me at this point...but I'd like to give kick boxing a whirl too. BJJ + Muay Thai = ultimate combo for 'real life' martial arts and self defense.

Anywya, I'm curious to see how you like it...so keep us posted on your experience. What gym do you intend to join?

I did Judo, Yoseikan Karate, Aikido, TaiChi and MMA. I stopped MMA because it was punishing at my age.

Not in the IFL anymore from what I heard. He's not that often at Warriors in Newmarket anymore, but he's teaching more at another MMA school in TO last I heard

I was on the Canadian National Martial Arts team for 2005/2006 and competed at the World Martial Arts Championships.
I've done about 15 years of Chitoru and Shotokan Karate, 7 years of Gracie Jiu Jitsu, 4 years of Bo Jitsu, 2 years of Japanese Jiu Jitsu, 1 year of Judo, 1 year of Tae Kwon Do and have cross trained countless weeks in various other styles. I usually fight about twice a year now since its harder to stay in peak shape for more than that during the year. As mentioned before, it takes a huge toll on the body but I still practice an average of 3 times a week now here in Tokyo.
