The Beginning of Something awesome!

Hey! Well, introductions are needed, so I'm Kim, but people call me Kimmy or KC. I'll pretty much answer to anything. My good friend Tammy will also be contributing to this blog as we document the fun and fabulous life of those involved with a great new MMA gym in the heart of central Virginia. It's called McCoy Martial Arts--Charlottesville.

Dave Morris, the owner and head instructor, has over 10 years of professional MMA fighting experience and now is a wonderful coach and instructor. The gym offers Muay Thai, boxing, BJJ (with and without Gi), wrestling, MMA, women's Muay Thai and core classes, and kid's classes. You can view the entire schedule at www.charlottesvillemma.com. We also have an email set up at charlottesville.mma@gmail.com if you need any information about our new gym. You can also email Dave directly at dave@mmainstitute.com.

I'm 25, live in Virginia, and started kickboxing in college to keep up with the endurance on the Virginia Polo team. I LOVED it, but didn't get into MMA until I saw UFC 45 at a local bar. This was the fight where Matt Hughes choked out Frank Trigg. My fondness for MMA was helped along with regular viewings of PPV, but I never thought I'd be able to kickbox again. Then I heard about MMAI, and had to go. I've been training now for 9 months, and LOVE it! I also love to read, ride horses, cook, and hang out with my friends and my boxer, Monty Python, in my spare time.

Anyway, enough about me, sometimes you know, people can get really excited about stuff! Another focus of this blog will be about nutrition.

Look for some updates pretty soon. Tammy and I are going to cover Valhalla 10 this weekend in Sterling, VA, near DC. Our very own guys, Adrian and Mark are fighting. We'll post pictures and give you guys a play by play!! So get excited :D
