That's the most important part, getting there.

I trained Full contact in the Miletich systems for years, and was in the fight circuit (just training, boss says no professional competeing), and I still wrestle with the kids at one of my local high schools. But, I am getting older, don't bounce back like I used too, and decided to try swordsmanship. I have been at it over a year, and it has been some of the hardest (mentally) traning I have ever had, since I have had to learn to break so many hand-to-hand habits.
