Fighting

I train and compete in MMA. I started with wrestling in high school, added BJJ in undergrad, and eventually decided the obvious next step was to also learn to punch people. I've been competing for about four years.

I train at a gym in Tbilisi where approximately nobody speaks English during drilling, which has accelerated both my Georgian and my ability to learn by watching.

I don't write about fighting to give advice. I write about it because it's the part of my life most likely to immediately and unambiguously tell me when I'm wrong about something.
