Cheers for the support team. It's actually really fun training. I used to dread it to start with because I was overweight and unfit - I've dropped 13kg since August last year, but now I look forward to it each week.
I train a couple of days a week in the gym, and am doing a lot of running, skipping and punching/kicking bag work at home.
Despite its brutality, it's been really good for my flexibility and general body conditioning. I'm constantly covered in bruises on my torso and limbs, have had a couple of black eyes, tore my MCL in my elbow (didn't tap out in time on an armbar) and I think I've got a broken toe at the moment (rib kick which hit an elbow). Other than that, I feel probably in better shape than I've been for a good decade.

@voodoo said in AWL's octagon-shaped midlife crisis:
Mate, if you go from 123kgs to 95kgs, you'll feel like a completely new man!
Yeah 6 foot 5 and being quite solid I've always hidden weight quite easily, but even at 13kg down I notice a lot more energy and stamina and I've got a lot more definition in my arms and shoulders from the grappling aspects of it.
I got named in the tournament team at a masters sporting event i went to recently, so its already paying dividends in other sporting endeavors too.
