Dr. A: Welcome back, this is Dr. Altman, and today we have a very special guest. This is Jake South. He is our local MMA fighter of the month, and maybe the year. He has a big career ahead of him. He has a fight coming up April 4th at the Davis Conference Center in Layton, Utah.  I thought I'd give him a little promotion.  You can learn a little more about mixed martial arts.  Without any more intro, I think he can best tell you about his career. It's pretty awesome. He has some cool things to share with you, because he has a different style than every one else.

Jake, why don't you tell every one how you got into fighting?

Jake: I started out in 2007. I started with the modern army combatives program in Fort Knox, Kentucky.

Dr. A: You should tell people, you are a full time military guy.

Jake: Yes, I'll be a career army guy. I have almost 15 years in. I didn't start my fighting career until 7 years into the military. But, once I started the Jiu Jitsu, and boxing, Muay Tai, and everything else the Army instills in us, and getting us ready for hand to hand combat. I picked it up really fast.  I excelled and started fighting for the Army and I went on to win the all-army combatives tournament twice at Fort Benning.  I took first in 2007 and 2009. I took second place in 2010.
