[QUOTE="pnasty, post: 1992680, member: 712834"] MMA has quickly become sort of it's own martial art. Years ago guys would train several separate martial arts then start learning how to put it all together by training MMA. The truth is those days are gone. My advice to anyone coming into the sport would be (unless you already have experience in one of the core art forms of mma Muay Thai, BJJ, boxing, wrestling) to just learn MMA. You'll learn all you need to be able to survive an mma bout. After you've gotten your feet wet then you can start training specific areas of your game but you'll have your foundation already laid. Basically it's what everyone tells you what to do but backwards. I've notice kids making the most improvements this way. Note: This is only good if you want to train specifically for mma. If you were to try and compete in a BJJ tournament or any other specific art form as an mma fighter you'd get owned it's just how it works. Most fighters now a days are a jack of all trades yet a master of none. [/QUOTE]
