Hello,
My name is Austin Harris and I have been taking mixed martial arts for 7 and a half years now. I first started off taking Tae-Kwon-Do, but something about it didn't catch my interest much. Although, it is a very competitive, if not the most competitive form of martial arts available, in my opinion. Me personally, I prefer Muay Thai kick boxing and Brazilian jiu jitsu. Like I said, I have been taking these two martial arts for 7 and a half years now. I am going for my second degree black belt in about 5 months for jiu jitsu. I have never been attached to anything like I am with martial arts. Its the easiest way to relieve stress and anger. I take it for many reasons. One being that it teaches you have self control. Also, it gives me motivation and something to work for. I think I might have to take a break from martial arts for about 2 to 3 months due to football. I don't have the time for them or the money because they are very expensive. Just because I have to stop for football, doesn't mean that I can't still train for it. The day football is over, I am going straight to worcester to get right back in it.
