Ask Nate anything

What branch of the military are you in?

 

Im just about a purple belt. And perhaps a combo of both, but in my credit, I have a pretty godly duck under to taking the back to RNC combo that I usually try and pull at the start of most matches. Most BJJ guys dont see duck unders too often... so it works.

Army, more specifically, infantry.

 

Very nice
How long have you been in military? Will you be going oversees?
How tall are you? Because taller gives more leverage for triangles, don't know about other ones? Does it help more?

 

Been active duty for a whole two weeks lol.

And im 5'7, and despite being on the shorter side, I have some nasty triangles. Guard is probably my strongest position in BJJ, if I can get someone in my guard Ill typically win.

 

Nice, I've always wanted to get into BJJ but I never could. Been taking Jeet Kun Do for 7 years though.

 

Honestly, out of all the "traditional" martial arts that are not MMA centered, I respect JDK more than anything else, so no shame in that. JDK has alot of good stuff they use, I actually wouldnt mind getting involved in it slightly just for the experience.

 

I see. If you were taller, it would only help though
I guess it is better than you are a 145er, only being 5'7. Unless you were like Dennis Siver
As you get higher competition in MMA, that won't be the answer though. Youa re 7-1 Correct?

 

Im 7-1 in official MMA competition, but Im like... idk realistically probably like 35-1 in BJJ competition. I just havnt had too much quality stand up instruction, but some of the gyms Ill be training at over the next 2 months have a few UFC vets who train/instruct there so Ill be able to improve that aspect a bit.

 

Do you have any cool attachments on your gun?

 

Good. You don't wanna be like G-Sot. The one guy he couldn't get down he got destroyed by. Work on your Standup a lot Only going up I guess right?

 

Will you date my dad?

 

It's certainly fun, but after a little while it gets a bit repetitive. For me at least.

 

I have an ACOG, a very nice after market bolt, charging handle, stock, and foregrip.

Thats the plan

idk, heres me after 8 beers and not training in 2 weeks, you tell me

 

Very good, and fat ass, coming from the 300 lb kid...

 

LOL, no but seriously, with commissioning and moving to GA and graduating college, I have been so busy that I am seriously not in as good shape as I normally am... so ya. Ill be in godly condition after about 6 weeks of full time training though

 

Care to give me tips? I'm 6'4, but Food....................................................
When you make the UFC put a sythe sign in your banner..

 

What do you mean "but food"? Like eating is your primary deterrent from getting in shape? From eating excessively or from eating poorly? Details my boy, details...

 

Both...
This week is last week of school, and I also got a copy of P90x, so I will be starting that soon. (Hopefully)
I am going to start working out more this summer.

 

K thats what i figured from the context of the other words, so my guess about the meaning was more or less correct. I would LOVE to go visit germany. Im trying to get back into German a bit since I am going to try and get stationed there in a few years.

*cough check your PMs btw cough*

 

Isn't that were N4N0 is?
