Real talk y'all nikkas got me excited about joining a gym. I'm trying to watch my spending right now but damn breh

There's one not too far from my crib. I'm gonna stop by next friday

For some reason I thought BJJ included striking

Maybe I should start out with boxing

EDIT: They gotta boxing gym run by some brothers too

Look for a school with multiple disciplines and or an MMA focused school. That's what I did and i'm enjoying it so far. It's not terribly expensive, 90 for me then 40 30 and 20 for my 3 kids (kids are normally 50 but for each family member the price is reduce for the next person by $10). That's one month membership for all the classes I can attend.

There's a BJJ school near me that's $100/mo, but they only meet MWF and I'm not free on Mon and Wed. Guess I gotta figure this one out breh

So I just signed up for a Muay Thai class .

The lady said the whole class I'll be sparring

I'm 32 years old, overweight and got bad knees

fukk am I thinking breh

 

[blackzeus]

naw, i believe I can fukk up a bjj guy who isn't a grand master or some shyt.


This internetss got nikkas Actually believing (especially people who can't fight) that BJJ is some unstoppable form and force of God


First off... its not the only grapping styple of fighting. second.... ALL fights start standing up. 3rd lol, it's 2014......... if you believe nikkas haven't worked on takedown defense Nonstop then you might as well kill yourself now.

BJJ is based on a small person being able to fukk up a strong person. But that style and even stand up non grappling styles like Wing Chun have limitations. At the end of the day.. if a dude is physically athletic as fukk + a really good Muy Thai guy with a lil ground game.(or some type of combo) ....... more than likely he will have blood leaking from your ears without breaking a swear.

Lets not get friends fukked up , friends @Mowgli

Breh, we're talking about a sport where school teachers become champions. I don't believe BJ Penn is taking down Bones because of some cotdamn BJJ, let alone nikkaz who fightin' for their lives everyday. Look at Bruce Lee, he's a walking contradiction of MMA, because in real life no war has ever been won with karate training, and karate has been proven by far to be one of the most ineffective martial arts ever. But why did it work for Bruce? Because the nikka spent years fighing on the streets of Hong Kong, sometimes 1 on 3, 1 on 5, in life or death situations. You ain't gon' get that type of sh*t from a dojo. So I don't by none of this MMA sh*t, at the end of the day it comes down to 1) the fight in the dog 2) the dog's abilities, no matter what the art is.

welcome

when u start live rolling with other, smaller, and apparently weaker white belts, u will see why bjj is the goat.

im a big man with muay thai experience and i have been a nyc bouncer for 5 years and have never lost a scuffle and i was triangle-armbarred last friday night by a 14 year old kid who weighed as much as one of my legs. very humbling.

If you can't knock out a 14 year old kid who's 1/4 your size you on some ducktales type sh*t breh. Either you ain't as big as you is or this kid might be the Michael Jordan of grappling I'd grab that little nikka by the throat with one arm and squeeze until his eyes started bulging.

 

[blackzeus]

that dude who bumrushed mother dear and pushed him out of a window was a hero, LOL

How he didn't get shanked by a whole crew of nikkaz is beyond me. They make the nikka sound like he was on some Matrix sh*t, kissing your punches while f*cking you up

i'm 33 so I feel ya. After my first Muy Thai class I literally felt like i'd been in a car accident. My neck was all types of fuked up and I had bruises all along my shin, thigh and for arms, I'm gonna go ahead and say I had a slight busted lip too... all from just holding the pads

It was fun though

kinda man goes 100 all out when fighting a kid? Rely on technique not strength when sparing. If it was a real fight he'd most likely hulk smash the kid just based on shear strength alone, as I know I could have with the 16 year old. My point wasn't so much that a 16 year old whooped my ass, more that a 16 year old has the technical know how to whoop my ass when he get's a little bigger

ol i beat up little kids ass

i dont think bruce ever did karate, but he was an early proponent of MMA. he stripped kung fu of its traditions and sought to mix it with the things it lacked. when bruce went against a wrestler and got picked up and put into a hold, he had no answer to it within kung fu, and his years of street fights didnt help either. that's why he started jeet kune do.

Hopefully I'll be sparring with some novices like me, cause I ain't trying to go back homo lookin like this

yeah i'm gonna call on the hyperbole used to describe this Jedi. Chances are he was a really good fighter who took the ass from men. What man is gonna have that happen and then NOT elevate the level of the dude who did it so as to make it appear they had no choice?
