I am a first degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and compete on a national level. I have been competing in Olympic sparring for about 10 years. I also do Wrestling in high school. I am very interested in doing MMA in college (a school club or out of school club or school) and was wondering if these sound like good qualifications.
Me and my friend are about to go into high school. WE both know there could be a time where we get into a fight. We wanted to know if taking mma classes would be best for learning how to fight and defend ourselves or if Karate would be our best option.
I boxed for about 6 months before i joined MMA and my trainer said i was a natural fighter and she thought i had a MMA backround before i told her i only boxed for a short time. I didnt want to ask her b.c i didnt want her to think like damn already. if i train 3 times a week, how long would you give it?
My school offers belts.
i mean why? whats the big deal and what is MMA by the way?? please explain in detail ?
i see some say he will get crushed in MMA what is that all about?
If I am 6’3 and weigh approx. 195 lbs and wanted to fight in an mma match, what weight class would be recommended to cut down to in order to be able to compete effectively?
I’m just starting my MMA journey. I want to actually takew a few arts one at a time, becoming very fine tuned in each, before starting ‘MMA Training’ at a local MMA gym.
But aside from that, I’m wondering if CrossFit is the best way to train cardio and strength. Some of my friends went for a few months and are getting into ridiculously good shape.
Anyone know much about it?
Some friends of mine ranging in age from 18-36 went in and purchased a wrestling mat. Out of all of us only three, myself included, have wrestling backgrounds. We would like to start training in MMA, particularly BJJ. No ground and pound, submissions only. Basically it’s the blind leading the blind. Us wrestlers can teach takedowns and takedown defense. We all know a little about conditioning. But we would like to know more about techniques from the gaurd, side control, how to pass gaurd, things like that. Are there any videos or books out there that can help us out that you people here at yahoo answers have seen or heard about?
idk i want to do mma and just want a little more info?
I go to the best MMA gym in town, and for phys ed at school we had to go the the other MMA gym in town. The instructor at the other MMA gym told me that i shouldn’t throw a horizontal hook but a perpendicular one. Is he right?
I want to start training for mma but I don’t know how to begin. There are alot of good gyms near by where i live but i don’t know if i should train two different martial arts at a time or just one, should i train stand up fist or ground game, or both at once?
p.s I never trained in my life.
