Isn't MMA an amalgam of BBJ, Judo, Karate, Boxing, Wrestling etc?Originally posted by meffin View PostSo how many people train MMA or any other form of martial arts? I do MMA, BJJ and submission wrestling. Used to do muay thai
How can you train in MMA specifically? (not having a go just genuinely interested to know)
For what it's worth there's a ton of guys who compete in MMA go to my local boxing gym to work on their striking and stand up.

Yea your right, its a combination of the lot, but its completely different from any of them. Although i did kickboxing and muay thai before i started MMA, my striking and guard needed to change totally to be compatible with MMA. The specific MMA class focuses a lot on takedowns and grappling, as well as the punching, kicking, defence, clinching, ground work and submissions. Also BJJ is a whole lot different from the ground game in MMA. In BJJ, on your back can be a great place to be, but not so much in MMA when you got a 4 ounce glove bouncing off your faceOriginally posted by fah-qDidn't someone once see Philip Schofield ****ting into a crisp packet?

College dropout, adventurer, seeker, traveler, ditch digger, dishwasher, cable tech, concrete worker, steel worker, salad prep, busboy, ski resort security, ski resort rental shop technician. I've worked in a slaughterhouse. I've been a landscaper. I've done drywall, tile, countertops, wood flooring, roofing. I have been a plumber, worked as a bottle collector at a bar, a bouncer, a doorman, a head of a security team. I have been a basket room clerk, a carpenter, a framer building beach houses, a truss builder. I've lived on a farm. I've lived in the city. I've earned money mowing lawns, selling on ebay, and fighting. A teacher, a trainer, and a coach sometimes. There was a time when I was younger that I didn't know any better than to be a liar, a cheater, and a thief. I have since learned to despise those things. I have had great friendships. I have had great loves. I have been a lover, I have been a son, a brother, and a friend. And I was once A WORLD CHAMPION.
