I'm starting up ju jit su and I'm going to a tournament this coming weekend and I'm wondering if creatine would be suitable, or is it more for power lifting type of sports?
EDIT: Its a submission wrestling tournament

Do MMA fighters take creatine?

Never argue with a stupid person. They bring you down to their level, and then beat you with experience.

They might... but I don't think it would be very necessary. As far as I know MMA matches can last a while and you end up in those locks and they just struggle for a while, creatine wouldn't help that out so much unless they were planning on winning within 10-15 seconds.

Jiujitsu is about technique, if you're good enough strength doesn't matter. Your money would be better spend learning how to roll/fight.

Creatine makes you more explosive.

im no MMA fighter, but creatine should be fine, as long as you dont take too much, excess creatine intake = bloat, which = more weight then you need,
in creatines case, less is better IMOgotta gain at least 10 more lbs.
