My name is Jack Bratcher. I'm from Nashville, Tennessee. My interest and fascination with martial arts began when I was just a wee lad. Me and my friends would teach ourselves everything we could until I finally got to take my first Karate classes. I remember being in seventh grade getting to spar against grown men and policemen that were in our class and I realized age and size was not necessarily the biggest factor in a fight. I went on to later study martial-arts while in college but never got to the level of competition. I was an amateur skateboarder and most of my free time was spent practicing that sport. Also as a youngster I liked watching wrestling until I became old enough to realize it was all fake. So from that time until I saw my first UFC match there was nothing on TV to satisfy my love for combat sports. Then I got to see UFC 1 and that all changed. Through the years, I had seen all of the great martial-arts movies; I used to love the show Kung-Fu with David Carridine; but none of it compared to the real thing which was first brought to us in the UFC. My hobbies now include watching MMA, computer stuff, and video gaming.
