This is a good way to get an idea of someones Fighting Style bio, with just a quick click of a thread. Sometimes when people are giving tips here, Im wondering what their background in Martial Arts is(Not in a bad way, like questioning it, just curious what they train,etc) But its a good way to see who does what, in case you have further questions about a style of fighting or thinking of doing it, you can track the person down.
Anyway, feel free to post your Bio.

Style
: MMA. We wanted to give it a name, so we call it Shinbujitsu (true fighting style) based on our focus on using whatever works, and a focus on the self defense as opposed to competition techniques.
Years
: 11 years total. The first 6-7 years were purely traditional karate; I don't consider those years a waste, necessarily, as they are a part of my evolution, but I could have been learning more if I had found MMA from the start (which wasn't easy to find back then). We started adding some BJJ, and eventually transition to full MMA training.
Competition
: A little experience with MMA cage and BJJ tourneys, just for shits and giggles.

15 years of wrestling? Holy s---, you must be a monster.
Style: MTMA (Mixed Traditional Martial Arts, yes that's what I'm going to call it for the purposes of this thread.)
Years Experience: 20
Amateur Record (Full Contact Karate): 5-1
My style takes from everything. I've only really been sport oriented the last year, so most of what I do will be unfamiliar to MMA fans, but I'm definitley primarily a stand-up fighter.
Style: Muay Thai/American Kick Boxing/Boxing
Years Experience:Combined 10 years
Style: MMA
2 years experience
No belts
I was primarily a stand up fighter, but I am really liking the ground game, just need more practice. I list it as MMA since where I train, we don't train in one specific discipline, we mix it all together, BJJ, wrestling, muay thai, boxing, judo even some Sambo. But before I joined this gym I trained in Muay Thai, well my stand up for 10 years.

If I had the money..
I would leave for Paris to train Savate then head to Thailand for 6 months. I think that would make a nice blend.

Or you could just go to Holland and train both.
