have notation was that Zimmerman was exercising by doing "intensive Mixed Martial Arts" 3 times a week. He told this to the PA doing his exam.
Earlier, an eyewitness John Good says he saw Trayvon on top in a MMA position. Perhaps it was in fact Zimmerman doing the MMA moves.

I was wondering this when it came up. His parents are in the audience, so they clearly won't testify. But it does seem to be something the prosecution would want to get on the record, especially since GZ is on record as having practiced MMA.

... after he took up MMA for exercise, it was written in his medical file (or something like that).

He was doing it 3x per week and still got his ass handed to him by a skinny kid. I think it makes him more likely to be the aggressor.

And was embellishing?

I've never seen anything about Trayvon being into though its possible but I've read that Zimmerman was working out at a gym doing MMA.
