Jay's Bio

Hi my name is Jay and I live in Central Nj. The only sports I watch are combat sports to me they are the most entertaining and the only true Real Sports out there. I have trained in martial arts my whole life, and am currently training in ninjutsu. I have two black belts and a purple belt already and was a formidable wrestler in High School.

I do have plans on becoming a fighter however I am enlisting in the United States Navy and will make my entry when I come out.

Jay, just got done reading your piece. Was great! i tried to edit but i wasnt able to. What do you think about maybe breaking down the paragraphs to about 3 or 4 sentences tops? I think it might improve the flow! Anyway great topic and i enjoyed your scientific approach!
