Ive done boxing and wrestling but i want to know what people think is a good backround because ive started training in mma for about a month now nd we r learnin judo and some bjj and kickboxing
your background is pretty strong too so like yeah. most of them have a background of muay thai and bjj but than how will your fighting style be unique if you guys all practice the same martial art if you know wat i mean.
You have already got an excellent base. Add in some sort of kicking art once you reach a plateau in MMA. Kickboxing will typically stick with the basic kids, so make sure you learn those BEFORE you branch out into an art that kicks more, like a Taekwondo or Tangsoodo.
concentrate in submissions from BJ and kicks,knees,elbows from Muay Thai that’s a great back round i personally do my own research on body function and anatomy for looking weak points of the body so you can use it for your advantage most good MMA fighters have knowledge of how your body can perform under severe stress of a combat situation and were to strike to knock down your opponent or what technique use to achieve a submission over a strong opponent . Good MMA fighters learn about good nutrition to make their bodies fast,strong and flexible without a good nutrition you will not last long as a MMA professional also you have to learn how to stay focus in your goals and your training to stay on top look for fighters history like Lyoto Machida,Anderson Silva,Georges St. Pierre Emelianenko this are fighters that have lot of knowledge about combat stress,and stay always focus on their serious training they do not allow this to stop how serious and discipline they are with their MMA career. good luck and be a champ not a one day winner. train ,eat well and study the science of combat and human body under severe stress.
I’ve crossed trained even before mma became popular.i trained in several kung fu styles, goju ryu karate, judo,kick boxing and pankration, but what your training in is good enough. work on conditioning your body to take the abuse and on your endurance(breathing) and always fight to win even when the odds are stacked against you.
Good answer…lahormig…
The more you diversify in the arts the better your chances to win. So I think the road to MMA is to take from all and use what works best for you.
Wrestling and boxing are great foundations to build upon. Wrestling is going to come in handy when learning your BJJ and boxing should be a nice accompaniment to any kickboxing your learning.
These days it seems most of the best new young MMA fighters have a wrestling background as a base to start with so it sounds to me like you are already on the right track
The general rule of thumb is: Boxing for stand up work, wrestling for take downs and BJJ for ground work
