My apologies on the incorrect spelling of the topic :S I accidentally pressed the wrong key and realise it now. Anyways! these always make me laugh; basically follow my lead You know your addicted to mma when, - 8 oz. boxing gloves look ridiculously big and puffy - Your most hated movie is Cradle 2 The Grave - Filling in a job application, you list "can break an arm in six different places" as a skill you possess - Asked what you like most about your body, you answer "my elbows, my knees and my heels” - You shave your head because long hair is a disadvantage - You don't hit on girls, you "shoot for the takedown” - You pronounce everybody’s name that starts with an "R" like it is an "H" - Hugging your girlfriend, you secretly practice kimuras and chokes - You wonder if MMA techniques would work if you were attacked by a wild animal like a panther or gorilla, (armbar or choke hold) - Every time you get a hug, you NEED to have the underhooks - You can't just roll over in bed, now you hip-escape. - You know what cauliflower ear is, and there is a part of you that thinks it is cool - You are constantly doing Rear Naked Chokes and Kimuras on your pets - You see some small kids fighting outside and mock them for having a lousy take-down. - Wearing tight trunks in front of thousands of people is cool to you now - Without even thinking, you shadow box at random times like naked before jumping into the shower. - When most of your tshirts are ripped on the collar from training. - When a normal sleepy twitch turns into a jab or a kick. - When you realise you dont have a girl friend because you spend most your life training. - When you envy people with square jaws & collieflower ears. - When 99% of your computer hard drive is full of mma rather than porn. -When someone makes you jump, or pokes you; you instinctivly hit them. If you've got your own, then please post them
- Hugging your girlfriend, you secretly practice kimuras and chokes - Every time you get a hug, you NEED to have the underhooks - You know what cauliflower ear is, and there is a part of you that thinks it is cool - You are constantly doing Rear Naked Chokes and Kimuras on your pets Guilty.
Yuki generally IS the candle as of late. He's in on all discussions, and posts some great vids. Mrs. Owt, we get hit in the head a lot, by people who know how to hit right[/low blow]. This could explain our lack of keyboard savvy.

GUILTY and suitably embarrassed A couple of nights back my girlfriend grabbed my wrist to move me and stop the bed hogging i was apparently doing. It was after ground work training and in exactly the right place for a hammer lock. From sleeping i managed to escape the sort of side mount and reverse the lock...... this demostration of unconscious reflex wasn't greeted with any enthusiasm at all. She has now taken to prodding me with my sticks from a safe distance
- Filling in a job application, you list "can break an arm in six different places" as a skill you possess Hmm....Is it wrong to put it in my CV? Is that why i'm unemployed?
I'm happy as long as its appreciated The other day i was wondering if my video posting was beginning to annoy people but evidentally not Thank you. Oh and if anyone can think of your own You know your addicted to mma when: bits then please share them with us! I got another one You know your addicted to mma when - - Your up at 1:28am on MAP trying to think of a 'You know your addicted to mma when ' quirky comment. - Boxing and you instinctivly shoot for the legs. Sorry, not the most original i know!
When in a tight spot, you ask "What Would Bas Rutten Do?" You fight "Gracie In Action" style challenge matches against the children's TKD class at the YMCA. You inform the 70 year old Tai Chi guy in the park that he is training unrealistically.
People at work/college mock you for watching video's of two men rolling around with eachother. (its happened to me at college!)
I hear that. I had a poster of Rickson in my dorm room in 1995, not even thinking that I had a poster of a man in speedos on my wall.
