FOZ, yeah tafe is the way to go to bridge into uni. what do u wanna study?

Zviggy, well brisbane probably does have equally good training to the goldy, more variety i guess, but i'm biased cos i train down here. Five rings is pretty sweet though... carnage for MT and Daniel Lima, Marcio Bittencourt and Jason Wildchild all teach BJJ/MMA. Plus Hector Lombard trains here now too, so i cant think of anywhere up there with BETTER training , maybe equal but not better. And its really well priced.AND it on the goldy, not in brissy. sorry you might like it there, but i cant stand it.... having moved from darwin myself i think foz will like the GC better. but hey we're so close you can't go wrong. most places are a step up from the ol darwaroo.

Hehe i dont mind equal. But definately not BETTER :-)

As for living...i guess it depends what you like. I actually live half way between GC and Brisbane so get to have the best of both world.

Hey aussie, most of the DVD's can be bought from the promoters and the promoters would appreciate the support if people buy their DVD's. Unlike guys like Dana White, promoters here dont live the high life and iv seen personally how much they sometimes lose on shows. If you can attend a local MMA show get along to it as it supports the MMA scene on a whole.

Ok back to dvd's...hehe.

Spartan - These shows have been put on a hiatus and their recent two shows can actually be found a good cd/dvd shop like JB HiFi. Ill find out from the promoter if previous shows can still be purchased.

Warriors Realm - Most of the shows can be bought by simply contacting the promoter at http://www.warriorsrealmrealityfighting.com

XFC - Same as above but of course the XFC website at http://www.xfc.com.au Saying that last few shows im not sure if they have produced a DVD or not. I'll try to find out for you.

KOTC - I'm really not sure if they sell DVD's or not.

Make sure to keep ALL documentas and certificates from TAFE when you start uni because you can also apply for credit. I think i ended up doing about 4 or 5 subjects less than most people at uni because my tafe courses were similar.

thanks for the responses guys, I know its offtopic but I appreciate it.

I just found out my best friend's bf in QLD did a course called "Adult Tertiary Preperation" at TAFE, which will essentially get me a OP score to get into University, so I will look into that. It's a 1 year course, so it would equate to doing a year of something else like Zviggy suggested.

Either way it looks like I will be rehabbing for another 3 months, then working for the rest of next year and moving to QLD to live in a garage at my sisters place. Oh joy lol. but atleast theres a solid game plan on the table and I know where I am going now. so im happy.

alphamale - I want to study a batchelor of japanese / bathchelor of asian studies with focus on japanese (since they dropped the BA of Japanese from the list this year), I studied it for a few years in HS, but they dropped it there too and theres nowhere at a good lvl for me to learn it in Darwin, and NTU does not have any languages other than Greek and Indo.

So looks like i'm set, thanks for the responses guys.

ps: i'd have to go to Uni/TAFE in brisbane, as the place i'd be living is there, but the Gold Coast sounds uber for training, either way its a step up from darwin, so I cannot complain.

More Great news:

The Ultimate Fighter and the kickboxing events from December will be shown on Fox Sports 1 instead of 3. Not everyone has Fox Sports 3. Hopefully its a sign that its highly popular.
