Lifetime sports fighter here,
Started wrestling in 1985. I coach now.
Retired from competitive Tae Kwon Do in 1996 after qualifying for AAU nationals.
Trained in Danzan Ryu jujitsu as well.
I guess once you get the bug it never really goes away.

Muay Thai
Been training for a few months now. I've only just now upgraded to sparring, and having never done that before, I've essentially been punched and kicked around the mat by fighters with actual records. I don't want to do them dirty, though; everyone at the gym is super cool, and tries to help me out along the way. I grew up quite passively, so I find the hardest thing to be throwing a punch, actually. Trying to hurt someone I'm not aggressive towards is strange. I need to MAKE myself aggressive. They've signed up to be punched, after all...
But, since I've gotten into it, I've delved deep into the scene. Been watching a lot of fights, and fallowing some amazing fighters. It's been a blast.
Any of y'all into this or any other form of grabby punch-kickery?
