Dumbbells are easy just a 12" peice of pipe and some hose clamps or locks to keep the weights from sliding into your hands.

I have no idea about the grappling dummy, I would say look around on google and see what you come up with.

okay change of plans due to a change in goals. Losing bodyfat is still a goal but it is going to have to take a back seat to conditioning.

My wife offered to pay for whatever MMA type classes I want and some of the equipement for my Birthday and just told me to pick a school/classes. That gives me exactly 3 months from tomorrow (24th) to whip my ass into shape before my birthday to not look completely pathetic come class time.

So plan at the moment is Ross enamait's begginers program (as my conditioning blows) for the next 5 or so weeks followed by his 50 day program outlined in Never Gymless (although I'll probably have to bump down the intensity of some of the workouts to complete them)

Anyone know of any good schools for either BJJ, Muay Thai, or MMA in or near Fairfax, VA?

lol Thats what I thought.

Now I just gotta hurry up and get in enough shape to not look completely pathetic. I'd atleast like to make it through the warm up without collapsing I never realized how much my conditioning sucked until I tried some simple bodyweight circuits.

bjj is grat and all but if you are trying to lose weight you should def sign up for muy thai as it beats the shit outta you and will improve ur conditioning as well, not sayin that bjj isnt good but def not near muy thai. but if you can find an mma class take that, they are hard to find but would be sweet if you could take it. they would teach you everything you needed to know about mma.
