Just came back from a Mixed Martial Arts world expo

It was pretty amazing if you ask me I had fun. Also met some UFC superstar fighters which is awesome. So I live in NY. I decide to go to the MMA expo in Manhattan. This is the second time its been in NYC so I wanted to check it out. First you have to walk in and pay $25 dollars for each person, As soon as me and my dad got in we walked around. Got some bags and free stuff.

Anyway this is when it gets exciting. They start having demostrations of different martial arts forms at 1:30. First is the BJJ squad. The special guest was Victor "Shoalin" Ribeiro http://www.mmaworldexpo.com/demopresenters#SHAOLIN. He showed us many different grappling moves and submissions with his students which was really cool. I really can't wait to try out the ground game.

The next Demo was the Judo which was very impressive. In my opinion it was the second best in the show. There we learned different throws and rules of Judo by two great anf famous Olympians. The first one is Jimmy Pedro http://www.mmaworldexpo.com/demopresenters#JIMMY.

His sparring partner TARAJE WILLIAMS-MURRAY- http://www.mmaworldexpo.com/demopresenters#TARAJE.

Now when I say these guys are good. They are GOOD. It was very exciting. I would love to take Judo now.

The last demo which was the best, most destructive, exciting, and scary was the Muay Thai demo. Done by a famous fighter in the Muay Thai world, and one of the most famoustrainers of the MMA world. This guy is good with a record of 32 W and 4 L in Muay Thai. The one and only Kru Phil Nurse http://www.mmaworldexpo.com/demopresenters#PHIL.

This guy has trained both GSP and Rashad Evans. Not only was he the best demo. He was the most exciting. He gave each of us a sample of he Muay Thai. The destructive, toughness, and choas. Each part of it was amazing. As a boy that wants to take Muay Thai...I have never been so intimadated in my life...and im excited about it.

At the end of the demos we walked around some more. I saw and talked to Leonard Garcia. I told him that his fight vs Huerta was the fight that got me into MMA in the first place. But the most exciting moment was getting an autograph and talking to the one one and only Matt Hughes http://www.mmaworldexpo.com/demopresenters#MATT.

I talked to him shook his hand and got an autograph. Even though I had to cough up $20 to get inside. I also saw some TUF fighters like Schnoover. Either way it was a good day. I talked to some gyms and their members. I can see myself going very soon. The only thing missing I need is a job. Thanks for reading and have a good day. P.s this is the site

There's no reason why you can't get there also.

Can't learn to swim if you don't get in the water.
