There's at least a handful of "how do I get started in MMA" questions everyday. People don't realize that professional MMA fighters are for the most part, former real athletes, who have a black belt in some art or have a solid wrestling background from either college or highschool. Just because people watch in on tv and get inspired by guys like Kimbo, everyone is jumping on the band wagon. That's why there are a lot of posers out there. And these same posers misrepresent the sport and act like tough guy jack@sses outside the gym. What are your thoughts? I want to get the point of view of the real martial artists as well as the posers.
