i wanna do mma but i am 12 and there is body weights and building so my conclusion is to start doing brazilian juJITSU and muay thai in combo .the price is 200$ should i give the trainer some tips like another 100$ dollars or just train with him or should i just start a karate class !
mma for a 12year old or let it be muay thai or karate?

Karate is useless when it come's to REAL LIFE fighting.
all it is, is fancy unrealistic kicks and techniques that arent possible in a real street fight or mma bout.
Brazilian jujitsu, is the most effective martial art for real life situations and MMA bouts.
Muay thai is also good, but not as effective as BJJ.
90 percent of all fights end up on the ground, so having experience in grappling is a most. (wrestling,BJJ,SAMBO is what you should study)
Boxing, muay thai,sambo is good for stand up.
Good Luck.

by the time you get to legal age to do mma you will most likely lost interest you have 6 years before you can sign a liability waver in case you get hurt this gives you time to work on a longer training time system like karate personally I would work on a defense aspect art for now as opposed to working on a sport style like muai tai or bjj

wow that is a lot of money. Sure go ahead and start. I say start just with one or the other and make sure there are some people at least close to your size, if you are skinny like I was.
