Forum: MMA Training Logs

I found an MMA Gym that teaches jiu jitsu, boxing, and wrestling. Going to join in December. Mostly want to improve my conditioning and self defense. First time attempting to train in any combat sport. Spent my HS yrs playing football, basketball, track.

A little background info: I've always been kind of a wannabe mma fighter in the sense that I watch every UFC event and am a huge fan of combative sports, I always wanted to train but my high school didn't have a wrestling team and there are no mma gyms in my town. I like contact sports, I started...

Hello, I have been weight lifting for a while and trying to get myself into better shape. unfortunately I found myself caught up in aesthetics and my genetics's do not help me in the pursuit. MMA has always had a spot in my heart and in the past (several years ago) I had a buddy show me some...

Hi to anyone browsing this. 20 years old. 5'11 170lbs So I am beginning MT and BJJ in January of 2011. I haven't any relevant MA experience so I plan on busting ass before I completely miss the boat and see if I can make something of this. I'm a fast learner and pretty athletic, having...

My goal, simply, is to have a full contact MMA fight by April, 2014. ( fights which don't allow strikes to the head or require helmets, etc.. don't count). I currently don't train MMA, although I have trained previously without much in the way of goals. The first sub-goal on my journey is to...

Im not going to competitions but just wanna have a good striking/grappling experience. If they will let me join competitions, why not? But its not my main reason. Am I too old to learn and cant compete with younger guys or just go?

Hey, I'm actually turning 21 this fall and wondering if I'm ''too old'' to start MMA. The short answer is obviously ''No.'', but if I'm looking to compete later on, would this be too much of a disadvantage? I have a judo background (blue belt), so I have some base, also trained muay thai for a...

Hey everyone, I'm flying to Thailand tomorrow to train for about 10 months.

What does everyone do? I'm going to start fitting in 2 days a week,I'm thinking i'll stick to compound lifts but it's all new to me so I'll hopefully pick up what works and what doesn't through experience. Seems the majority of fighters don't do much if any strength training,mainly just body...

Hi all, I train in martial arts. I am having issues with the top of my glutes / hip region while kicking. The pain occurs on the outside of the hip joint at the top of the glute (to the side of the body as opposed to the back) and is a sharp pinching pain which severely limits my range of...

Anybody have tips on how to improve leg flexibility, specificly doing the splits or stretching your legs out in front of you. I've tried simple static stretching in the past after a small warmup and I got very slow, minimal results. It didn't improve 'with time' either, even when I was grappling a...
