Are you the type where you need group support for stuff like cardio and other exercise? I am so that would benefit me, but I would not go to an MMA gym for that just as I would rather go to an arena to play hockey, not skate. Personal preference, really.

That's an unpredictably kool fighter, or an unpredictably shitty fighter. Kinda reminds me of Zoila, TBH. |

Ok. I mean for me, I would be doing MMA not to fight, but for the fun of training. So I would not want to waste gym time with stuff I can do at home, or on my own. Like hockey - if I am at a rink, I would rather be playing hockey then drilling skating. I would be doing it for fun, not practice for competition or anything.

I trained doing BJJ... that really improved my ground game. Except that you nearly got put into a Sharpshooter by an amateur like me by simply standing up in the ground fight we had. lol Disclaimer: Yes, I ended up getting schooled after that, but that was still fucking hilarious.  You also got schooled before that too... since it was a 2nd round after the first ended in your tap out. I'd also like to point out i had put most of my energy into the first round.. so i was tired. AND that wrestling fight we had happened BEFORE I had gone to class. Because I remember you saying to me that I beat you before but now that I've taken the BJJ class that you'd have even less of a chance now. |

I'm lazy so ya I wouldn't exercise just by my own decision. I'd need to be pushed. At the MMA place I get the cardio to get back in shape and I learn how to fight. Also you need to remember that if I'm not in good shape then I wouldn't be learning everything to the best of my ability so it's better for me to get in shape first. |

I know it was early into your BJJ if it was. |

Now re-read this whole thread with "BJJ" = "BJs".

So yesterday I learned a takedown. I learned how to takedown the person and how to defend myself from the takedown. I also learned how to protect myself on the ground and how to get a person into a lock from laying on my back.

No from my back I will flip the person so that I'm on top then I would put my elbow under. Their chin and will start to twist/pull their arm.

neat. from my back I learned a good way to flip so that i'm in their guard and I've also learned a neat way to get a kimura from guard. and gi chokes.. (i know mma doesn't usualy have gi's inside the cage but it's what i learned for BJJ class. I learned a couple ways to get a triangle choke on. and the greatest thing ever!! The Flying armbar.. I can't do it though.  |
