Martial Arts!

I'm curious to see if anyone who has
Lap Band does any type of martial arts.

If so I have some questions!

What's your martial arts?
Did you train before you had surgery?
How long did you wait until you went back?
Did you feel any different?


I've been training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for about a year now
but can no longer for another two months because I can not
do any adomonal workouts and a lot of the time in BJJ your
adomonals are crunched together. So, I started MMA today
actually. My doctor said I could go back to working out in
three weeks... so I did! Everything went basically well. Just
this one point of streching my port area felt weird so I stopped
for about five minutes just to make sure everything was alright
and it seemed good. I can also tell the difference in my running,
just losing several pounds makes running so much easier!!

If you have been healed for three months, I would advise you
to join a Jiu Jitsu class. In an hour you can roughly burn 900
calories. It's what I like to call an actual "working" work out.
Haha.

I would love to train in mma, but I live out in the country and it is a pretty good drive to the closest instructor. I have a heavy bag and a set of focus mitts to work on my boxing skills. I would like to learn more about the ground game though.
