Hey, I was just curious if any one on here trains MMA for competitive or other purposes. If anyone does, how did you get started, what styles did you first train in, how/when was the transition into other styles, etc.
I'm asking this because there's a gym near me where a lot of local fighters train at that has Muay Thai, Boxing, BJJ, and MMA classes, and I'm interested in training in MT and BJJ and maybe transitioning into MMA. I have a wrestling backround and a bit of submission training and I was wondering what you guys think? It's definatley something I'm interested in, I'm very passionate about wrestling and I am pretty sure I would be passionate about other combat arts if I trained in them.
So basically my question is:
Should I take MT classes first or do BJJ and MT classes at the same time(different days)?
I doubt I could do straight into the MMA class, one of my wrestling buddies just started it a few months ago and he has been boxing, MTing and submission grappling for a while.
Any comments/advice.
Thanks.
