Sports programs?

[Deleted member 15361]

Here is a quick question. Do the canadian forces offer any type of Mixed Martial Arts programs? I am interested in taking this up as a hobby.
I know that Patrick Cote was in the canadian forces until he took up full time training. Did he have a place within the forces to do this or was this all on his own time?
I ask this because I know that you can become a bodybuilder within the canadian forces, also sports like hockey, basketball and baseball.
Thanks for any info.
cheers,
Rob.

sorry, i think this might belong in the Training Forum.

I recall there being a martial arts program that was run at Meaford a couple of years ago.  It was something soldiers could attend on their own time in the evenings and was conducted in the base gym.

Cool, I had hoped that they offered this type of training at some places, I just hope i can take MMA wherever I'm posted. I am not looking to compete or anything like that, I just want to get involved in it because it seems like something I would enjoy. I've watched UFC since Royce Gracie ruled the game and have since been watching Pride and king of the cage. Its a great sport.
