   @DMxNemesis bro kickboxing and bjj are the best combination because hand strikes wouldnt be that hard to learn, but to be heaps flexible with a high leg kick would be hard to learn

   The worst thing is on the street.. where there are no rules and your are trying to get your opponent into an arm bar or your guard.. and they start biting, eye gouging, fish hooking, and hair pulling or going for your groin. If anyone has had an experience like this… you know what i’m talking about. You can be hit in the head.

   yea man that’s like EXACTLY how i feel. i love competing in grappling tournaments, if my striking was better i’d try some amateur ring or cage fights, but i can’t box for shit at the moment so i’ll put that idea on hold LOL

   yea i personally think Muay Thai, Wrestling and BJJ is the most fundamental combination to be successful in MMA, or u could be a freak like Anderson Silva and be a black belt in Taekwondo and Judo in addition to the disciplines i just mentioned LOL

   he’s been doing this shit all his life man, a true mixed martial artist. All the best are like that: Silva, Fedor, GSP, Machida, they train for a long time in individual martial arts, and when they achieve an elite status in one discipline, they move onto another one and complete the cycle there as well, they don’t take short cuts or half ass anything. That’s why that “catch wrestling” shit annoys me cuz its just a short cut to learning good submissions, but will never be as good as BJJ

   submission wrestling, submission grappling, catch wrestling is just a non formalised way of learning submissions on the ground. BJJ is stagnant no gi is the way of the future

    I have no issue with “no gi” training, even though my jiu jitsu school does gi grappling, at other Gracie Dojos like Cesar Gracie Academy they do no gi grappling all the time. I’m just saying a lot of catch/submission wrestling techniques developed by early wrestlers like Ken Shamrock won’t work on experienced BJJ grapplers like BJ Penn GSP, Maia, Nogueira, Mir, etc… I love Shamrock and wrestling is definitely vital for MMA but i don’t like some of the sub-wrestling techniques i’ve seen
