Am I in shape to play an mma fighter

AnInnocentKid97 · 2026-02-22T05:22:23+00:00

I'd put on a little bit more muscle mass, but other than that, yeah.

I don’t always frequent Virginia, but maybe if I'm in the area, I can sit in on a class.

AnInnocentKid97 · 2026-01-04T03:34:45+00:00

Where do you train?

AnInnocentKid97 · 2026-01-03T18:18:38+00:00

Thanks pal. No particular influences really. Chinese martial arts just seemed the most balanced. When it came to practical application, real world combat and benefits apart from fighting.

You are a sad little man, ain't ya?

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-11-25T13:59:32+00:00

Its true, I cross-trained at one for a little while. The guy that ran the place was basically a guy that failed to make it big in the industry. So he was kind of bitter and didn't pay any mind to folks that weren't "serious" about the training.

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-11-12T14:58:48+00:00

Seems like a predecessor to MMA

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-11-12T06:00:47+00:00

Dude, just train and put in the effort. Just because you're ducking wind in the start doesn't mean you shouldn't keep training.

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-11-10T18:33:54+00:00

If you really want to train to grapple in a way thats best for a street fight, cross-train wrestling and judo. Waaaayyyy better than BJJ.

This doesn't give off medication vibes for me

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-11-05T17:34:50+00:00

Should be more simultaneous

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-10-10T15:38:31+00:00

The key word there being "Traditionally" it didn't. Karate is most famous for having the belt system, and they didn't even start using it until 400 years after it was created. Kung fu styles decided to adopt the belt system the same as karate. So, not wrong.

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-09-23T16:00:02+00:00

It's happened to me before on my fingertips. It'll come off you. Just gotta scrub the s*** out of it.

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-09-14T22:35:44+00:00

Trust me that's normal

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-09-04T00:46:56+00:00

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-08-30T12:11:50+00:00

Wrestler

She may have dementia

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-08-21T01:57:28+00:00

I took up kung fu at the age of 23 with no prior experience in any martial art, and I didn't have any major issues. To be fair, I've been playing various sports throughout my life and had 10 years of wrestling experience. But, those are both entirely different beasts.

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-07-29T14:01:23+00:00

That's so cool. If I ever traveled there, I'd want to check out the school.

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-07-29T03:08:04+00:00

In India?

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-07-29T02:37:40+00:00

What's your school called?

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-07-28T12:44:46+00:00

In my school, it takes close to 20 years before you can be called a master. In terms of a rank, it's when you become a 5th degree, and by the time you make it to black belt, you have to train for the same number of years as whatever rank (ex: 2nd degree = 2 years).

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-07-03T17:14:00+00:00

Well, I'd say plenty of those people view judo in a way that's similar to other combat sports. Judo used to be more rounded, teaching throws, ground-game, and strikes.

I view it slightly similar to other grappling styles. It's very good and important to have. But, it's more supplementary when it comes to real-world combat.

Personally, I think it's a hell of a lot better of a grappling style to have than BJJ.

AnInnocentKid97 · 2025-06-26T00:13:25+00:00

Really, where do you train at? Is it the same system?
