This has been on my mind for a very long time. First and foremost, I am a Father. Thats already established but my main occupation is being the FRONTMAN for my band, BEYOND THEORY. I always knew that I was gonna be in a band since I was a kid yet Ive also wanted to become an athlete. Theres a relation between music and sports for me. The hard work, dedication, effort, discipline, time, intensity, money, passion, heartache and triumph of becoming a musician and an athlete. It is my way of life and thats why I do this shit. I sincerely want to step in the cage as a Grappler or Fighter. I understand my medical issues concerning my head injury and some MMA fighters, friends and family members with expressed their deep concerns about me becoming a Competitive Fighter in the cage. Yes, I am very aware of the great risk that Im taking by getting in the cage but I need to know and the only way to find out is to pay for a sports physical and talk with my VA Counselor about putting in writing that I am psychologically capable of participating in Combat sports. In fact, MMA has been proven to help Vets deal with PTSD but I did crack the front of my skull which required surgery or I wouldnt be here telling yall this...... I dont want to fight for monetary gain either, so I hope that VA wont take my check from me permanently because I want to just be an Amateur MMA Fighter/Cage Grappler...
