    Boxing is so popular with the Latino community that you would think MMA would be as well.

    Your in the Miami area, that's a given . I'm caucasians and grew up in Miami, I was the minority. I was the only white kid on my high school wresting team.

    i thought with the heavywieght champion being mexican "maybe" we might see an increase but so far no results.

    IDK. BJJ is still foreign to a lot of folks in general, and hispanics tend to be a bit homophobic. Trust me, I've heard the jokes. SMH. But IDK, bring it up in barber shop conversations. Talk about how you can choke people to sleep and break arms. That should perk some possible interest. LOL. Or tell parents to put their kids in it because it's real world self defense.

    Oh word though? Miami girls doing BJJ? I find myself tempted to move to miami suddenly.

    Give it time. It's still a relatively new sport. It hasn't really taken root in latino communities yet. When I speak to my family about it, they still look at me like I'm speaking chinese. But they do love the good fights.

    The Latin Assassin making a forum appearance! Welcome, sir. You guys watch your back, or Alberto will have you in a Cuban Salad before you even know what hit you.

    The 2 Latino Limit is a running joke in our gym.

    Wow, and you're accounting for all latino's in your criteria. I only count Mexicans. Puerto Rican spanish is slightly different and I don't need to have an argument about which avocado (Hass versus Florida) is better every time I go to train
