Hello, nice to meet you all.

I've had a therapist who was not good at all myself, so I'm extra thankful for my current one.

Yes, I really have been thinking of free fighting someday, but not soon because I'm super new. The gym I go to offers both styles, and we spar in the Muay Thai class, and "roll" in the BJJ one. I guess combining the two would be free fighting, maybe :).

I really like the classes, they get me "out of my head" often. Looking forward to some fun facts too!
 
Do you happen to know if that is a characteristic Aspie trait? The reason I ask is sometimes when I'm in Mexico I'll say something in Spanish that I didn't know I knew.
I'm sorry I haven't got a clue. I was about to say that I think it's just something everyone's brain does occasionally, and then I remembered my brain is non-standard. But that's the best theory I can offer.

That's cool. Just be careful in case your joints are hypermobile, although it could prove to be a significant advantage to escape headlocks and the likes.
I think there's another member here who's very much into various martial arts, and that would be Ronin, but I can't recall exactly which ones right now.
Tonight, I just impressed my boyfriend by asking my boyfriend to clarify if the fighter named Silva he was talking about was Spider. He in turn explained the rationale behind the nickname. I'm still surprised a fact I read in an article 5 years ago on a Brazilian blog came up like that, it's not information I had ever needed ;)
 
I like classic games a lot. I have played Pokemon Blue recently on an online emulator. More recent games include Eve Online, Call of Duty, Gears of War, and Sim City 4. I like Simulation games a lot where I can set things up and watch them grow (my wallet on Eve Online and cities on Sim City), but I also like flight simulators. I haven't played Krebal space program yet. I haven't tried Hearthstone yet but I have seen some streamers playing it and it looks very interesting.

Right now I am practicing Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). I love the cardio aspect of Muay Thai; it gives me a "runners high" most times. And BJJ is very technical which interests me, but I am so new at it right now.

I loved simulators/economic games since childhood. :) But I can't stand Sim City. :D

The space program game looks interesting. Thanks for the info. :)
