Training MMA?

Recommended Posts

I just got hit with an elbow in my eye. My right eyebrow is pretty swollen and I just know that within a day or two I'll look like a transvestite who has tried to put on eyeshadow for the first time... but, nonetheless it was a good trainingsession.. that's kind of wierd :)
Anyone else who trains any mixed martial arts such as shooto or maybe Brazilian jujutsu?

I never sought formal training but I used to do alot of informal stuff when I was in the Army we used to do what they called "Combatives" Mostly thows and strikes. Not alot of submission or any joint locks/breaks. I did alright but mostly due to 8 years of Greco/Roman Wrestling when I was younger.

I have always thought about getting back into it.

It's great!

I've been training thaiboxing for seven years and Goshindo (combination of jujutsu, thaibox and wrestling) for three years. I especially enjoy the submission wrestlingpart because it is so versatile. There are so many ways to get to the armbar or chokehold you're looking for.. It's like being part of a human everchanging puzzle.

I've started Combat TaeKwonDo and Hapkido.
And have twice so far got to really punch someone.In the chest (no chest pad) while doing this 1 self-defense move, punch,they block, you sweep w/other arm, then hit right in the chest..
It was with a very good, tough fighter there and I have been hit back pretty hard too!
It took a little while to really hit someone..instructor said to hit him harder!..It is a really great class.
So, far just a nick on nose fromn glasses getting hit, and a toe-nail scratch on my hand.
And a few various blood stains on uniform.
I also held back hitting a brown belt female 1 night (she instructor helper, just couldn't go full blast on her and she was wearing chest pad.)
But no black eyes!
I love these classes!
