Where do I buy a ring ?

I want a ring, too. I have a half-acre backyard and a deck (for the audience). I could cover it in the Spring and Summer and take it down in the Winter.

Just buy the ring and rent it out to indy promoters in the area to use. You'll make your money back in no time.

If I bought a ring, it would be to practice MMA in PRIDE FC style. I wouldn't go trying swanton bombs in my own backyard or attempt piledriving my friends because 1) they have warnings about not doing this shit at home when you have no idea how the fuck they are trained to protect themselves and 2) it's fucking lame. I can chill with my buds in front of the TV with beers in hand, I don't need a wrestling ring to relax with friends. If you can only relax when playfighting with your friends pretending to be half naked men you watch on TV, you may just be gay.

 

As for not being able to see why it's cool, that's probably because I am not fucking backwards enough to drop 4 figures just to playfight with other people in my yard.

I'd rather he got some exercise with playfighting in his backyard with a bunch of grown men/women, than sit in front of the TV like a lard ass. I think we all agree he definitely shouldn't buy one, and even if he did he shouldn't be performing any high impact moves. Even low impact would be questionable since it is apparent that he doesn't have enough common sense that you shouldn't be dropping several thousand dollars on something you wouldn't use effectively, and the simple fact it is a good thing to save money while you're young.

 

I do mixed MMA and shadowboxing with a group of outdoorsmen type people(mixed genders), and not only is it a lot of good exercise but quite a bit of fun. There is something primal about using your skills to physically tie up your opponent to make them submit to your superior tactics or dumb old luck. Life is short, have fun while you can within reason. Don't see anything 'gay' about it at all, since there is nothing sexual about rolling around on a mat with another man or even another woman that I have no romantic or sexual involvment with.

 

 

edit: Also you might want to change your avatar and signature, since you cannot hotlink from the servers you are attempting to hotlink from. I find it amusing you cannot/will not afford some webspace but thought "seriously" about investing in a wrestling ring.

He'd be better off enrolling at a gym or MMA school if he wants the exercise and practical fight skills with the 3 grand he'd drop on a ring. However I still think spending that money on what will be little more than an oversize playmat is stupid. He could probably just get a bunch of thick wrestling mats the size of a ring for 1/5th of the cost to grapple and practice moves on. Hell, buy four double bed matresses and practice on those, it'd still be cheaper.
