new 17 YO aspiring fighter.

[Unreviewed]

Im out of school now, be 18 in 2 short months and Im thinking of joining the MMA. Or any professional fighting to get some cash while training and doing what I find fun and rewarding. As it stands I have zero gym experience, 5 years of martial arts training ( in dojo ). And throughout my teen years ive been training at home and researching to teach myself various things.

Im thinking about going to a MMA school or something to get a temporary career started, and Ive always been a very very very driven individual looking to be better than others at everything I enjoy. Ive been researching steroids for a while and find it interesting to say the least. Still undecided whether or not Ill ever use them, but I figure I might as well get some talking in with people who have experiance. This goes for everything, not just steroids.

My goals are pretty simple, I just want to become really healthy and fit. To become a great fighter while doing so, make some money from fighting, and then stay fit for life and move on to something else career wise. As anyone I got a few questions that couldnt really be answered easily with research alone. Ill be asking them and probably providing a link here.

Keep in mind, for now Im not asking any advice for steroid use. Simply to research the subject. My mind may change when Im 18 but for now Im sticking to busting my ass the natural way.

welcome.
you are supposed to be 18 to be a member here so your posting may be suspended temporarily, but we encourage you to stick around, read and learn. I wish there had been a resource like this available to me when I was your age I would have made far fewer mistakes along the way.

I second the motion.

Welcome!

btw... I'm going to double down on what Big said. I overtrained for Years when I was a kid... and results came grudgingly. Had I known then what I know now....

You are speaking to a suspended guy

Even though you are suspended dont be disheartened. Keep reading and learning, you will soon be 18 and by that time you will be ready to post here.
