Mixed Martial Arts

Oh, alright
What is his name if I may ask? I was going to look him up.
What do you train atm?

 

His names, Jared "Crazy Legs" Carlsten

and I train BJJ, Muay Thai/Kickboxing, Wrestling, MMA at 10th Planet

 

Oo, you train at 10th planet? That is Eddie Bravo's gym, correct? How old are you/ been training, and are you trying to pursue a career over it?

 

Yes, its eddie bravos. he trains at HQ i train at burbank. But he comes in once in a while and hes taught us b4, i have a pic wid him on fb XD

also, jared my mma coach, trains under him, so does my jiu jitsu coaches, Erwann, Jason, and Scott "einstein" Epstein [also a pro fighter] [hes also gna be in the movie "Never back down 2" Main actor]

I've been training for 4 months, im 18 yrs old. Im pursuing a pro career in the UFC.

 

Very nice, good luck. I would first pursue smaller MMA jobs :0
Don't wanna try and get over your head to early

 

thanks

and ofcourse im not going for UFC off the bat, i still got another year b4 i start my smoker matches [amatuer fights] i told Jarred, im like, "you tell me when im ready, cuz im always ready for a fight mentally, i just need you to tell me that you think my skill level is ready for a fiight"

ahhh i love thinking about my first fight, i did my first few competitions and they were fun i went 2-0 my first one and went 0-2 in grappling x...but damn i cant wait for my first mma fight.

 

Yeah, I plan on having an amateur mma fight eventually. I need to get down to the limits of HW though :/
What weight class are you?

 

Right now im 178 [i was 185-190 b4 i went vegan]

Im planning on being anywhere from 165-170 but realisticaly ill probably be from 170-175..so around middleweight

 

If you are 178 definitely welterweight. You want to cut weight generally.

 

Ya i dont like cutting major weight b4 fights/competitions i did that for grappling x...i was 185 i wanted to get to 175 and i did everything and when the fight came i felt weak and vulnerable. worst experience when i went vegan im 178 now and i feel 10x better and stronger.

 

It does more good than harm if you can get the hang of it man

 

Personally speaking, I like to do MMA but not watch it. I only watch some videos of experts teaching certain things, but not really watch it. Unless it's boxing,

 

I havent watched mma fights in a while, not that i dont like it its just taht i dont have time and its not a priority. but if i ever have time i would love to just sit back relax and watch my future job develop.

 

Yeah I agree, it's good depending on the MMA itself, there's useful ones like karate ect. that teach you self defence, but it's not something that I would personally watch.

 

Not really a fan of karate, tried it once didnt really like it. I love mma though thats my passion

 

I like Karate. I quit right before I was near my black belt. My bad lol :/

 

I just turned 16 on the 8th. I'm not (legally) allowed to fight without using a kickboxing helmet, and 8oz. gloves. With a few of the other students at my dad's school though, we'll have little inside tournaments, with parents consent of course. It's one of my favorite things to do though. My current record is 5-3 in fights that we've actually kept score and time in.

 

Excellent MMA coach Shawn Tompkins passed away RIP Man.

 

Do you take back the words of you saying Ben Henderson is ovverated after tonight?

 

Did I call him overrated? I always thought he was underrated. OMG I am dumb if i did.
