Hey everyone I hope this is the right place to introduce myself. I'm Kevin and really happy to be joining this site. I'm a 2nd degree black belt in Okinawan GoJuRyu and a 1st degree black belt in Daito ryu Ju-Jitsu. I don't compete competitively because of a former knee injury but I am a huge fan of MMA and follow it religously. I hope to meet some excellent fans here and share some knowledge with this online community, (always looking to learn new things).
Thanks everyone.

Hey there, Kam. I've done a little GoJuRyu (translates hard/soft style, right?). My original martial art is Okinawan Matsubayashi-Ryu (Shorin Ryu), so for kicks one day we went through some GoJuRyu kata.

That's right hard/soft style, not many people recognize the different Karate styles. There are some excellent katas in the system that strengthen the legs and tone the body like Sanchin kata used to strengthen your chi and also Seyunchin (spelling??) which really works the legs, but my heart was always with juJitsu.

Welcome kam,
I'm not "post crazy" like some of the others but definetly a full time "lurker" of the forums! :?
I've only been involved in one event so far but would recommend signing up to the JFC!

Junkie Forum Championships my friend!
You need to get your picks (of winner, round and method) for various events sent off to "the King" and he has set up a Grand Prix to crown a champion of the forums. That probably makes no sense - I'm just buzzing on GP excitment.

Thanks man I will check it out sometime. I was one of the only people I know who picked Matt Sera to beat GSP purely on the fact that because of GSP's injury he had more time to prepare. (Didn't keep me from spitting out my bud light when he rocked GSP and than won)!

It's a virtual fight league we have setup.
For example the upcoming UFN 13 is our first 'real' event.
Lets say you challenged me and I accepted. We would go head to head as if we were fighting at that event.
We both pick the entire card. You need to include who you think will win, what round and how (KO, sub, dec), but most importantly you have to rank your picks in a 'lock' order. You give the highest points to the fight you feel most confident about and number backwarsd to one (least confident).
This is the most important because if your high locks win you will rack up points. You naturally get extra points for picking the other things right as well.
Then who ever sores the highest wins.
Kingofabuleos (the King) even gives out prizes to the overall highest scorer (DVD sets and such). He also organizes and handles everything.
It's a blast and our first 'real' show is coming up which you can probably still get in on. We had two amatuer events just to get some practice in. But you can jump in now and not have missed anything.
It's just for fun, but the competition factor is intense. You will really get 'into' the fights, wanting your picks to win!
Give it a shot. If you don't like it ..who cares. No biggie. But trust me. YOU WILL!

Yes, it was Sanchin. I'm not so much into the whole "chi" thing, but it was definitely a good kata for body conditioning.

Awsome guys thanks for the warm welcome and that info on the JFC. This seems like a real cool site and I already got some top notch info from your posts in other topics, so thanks.
I'm from Canada by the way so I hope most of you will be pro Canadian come April when our boy GSP kicks the Gobbly Guck out of that guy from New Jersey.
