This is good. But you can't help but come off a little gay when you say "Hey, I read your profile. Would you like to roll around with me?"

Heh, good point.

Makes sense then.

So I think I know what I'm going to do know.

I'll take a weightlifting class that meets three times a week. I'll focus on compound and olympic lifts to gain strength and explosiveness.

I'll join the cycling club for my first semester, and the lacrosse team for the second. The lacrosse team at my school sucks; I can make the team if I'm in shape.

I'll find a few training parters to box with and just spar with them. This should help me improve my technique and ability to take a punch--two things I need to work out. I should pick up a pair of focus mitts to help out here.

As far as the Jiu-Jitsu training goes, I don't really know what I'm going to do! I guess if I can convince someone from the gym to give me a ride, I'll be golden. Other than that, I'm beat. I'm not going to give up on it though.

So my plan is to get into the best possible shape I can, get a job to help pay for the mma classes, and then eventually attend mma classes.

When I got to college 2 years ago there was a very inactive martial arts club which has now turned into an awesome thing with several of us competing in the cage and in grappling tournaments. Stick posters around campus asking if there is anyone that would like to train. Form the campus organization yourself and teach each other. It has worked very well at my school, and we are not a large campus.
