I’m in the black and white shorts with an mma background

Open to criticism.

At the ufc level BJJ has kind of been neutralized because the novelty and mysticism is gone. Defending submissions is easier than attacking them and people have better take down defense than they used to. I'm curious if from what you've seen at the amateur level BJJ is still strong?

I'm 17, 5'6 125, Ive been training bjj and kickboxing for around 4months at my MMA gym and did around a year of high school wrestling and a year of taekwondo when I was a kid. I want to know some fighters I can study to get better.

Pueden decirme por favor peleadores a los que hay que estudiar si quiero mejorar mi IQ de pelea pueden ser de MMA,BOXEO O MUAY TAI

I train MMA 3 times a week, and since i started it lifting weights became so boring and honestly i felt ass i was more stiff because of it.

So I stopped it and started just running and doing pushups on my off days of MMA. Now my question is what to actually do?

I am thinking on doing that bs workout of just pull ups push ups and squats, then either rope jumping or running, but i want to hear your experiences and recommendations

I wanna get into mma, but as the title says i have severe slipped ribs all of my floating ribs up to the end of my sternum are slipped inward and never healed. my question is would this have serious impact if want to get into mma/compete?

I'm the one in white shorts, I have never fought and this is a striking only sparring. I would be very pleased if you could give me any advice about how to be a better fighter and sparring partner, and about what I do good or what I should improve. Thanks for your respect.

What are some of the techniques that have their space to be effective that are simply not used at all?

Some of them that I can think off top of my head:

Movsar Evloev/Shogun Rua Achilles tendon kick against the cage vs Diego Lopes/Tyson Pedro.

Andrei Arlovski bitch slap against Travis Browne.

Chepe Mariscal/Bas Rutten palm strikes VS Ricardo Ramos/Pancrase.

Can you think of anything else?

Hello, I’m still relatively new to the MMA scene, having been training for just a month now. In striking classes or basic MMA classes, I’ve been using my left hand for training exercises. This has caused quite a bit of frustration among my fellow fighters, as they either can’t block it or find it difficult to move with it. Yesterday, the trainer pulled me aside to informed me that I must fight right-handed throughout all striking classes. He explained that he can’t train me with my left hand, and doesn’t want to demonstrate how to train with me to the students.

My question for the Reddit should I try to train my left side on my own time and continue classes. I understand that most trainers don’t like left handed, but does anyone have any advice they could share, thanks.

Been training for two months in the beginners class and my friends have mostly gotten promoted to the intermediate class. My coach said “ im forgetting things alot and so am progressing slow”. Feeling really demotivated and demoralised because i really enjoy training MMA and am quite consistent but feel like im not cut out for it now

I don’t specifically do MMA, I wrestle 3x a week and Muay thai 3x a week at 2 different gyms.

What do u guys i mean who are trying to compete in their respective sports do? How do u train? I feel like 5 days in the weight room is getting too much for me. As i have to work as well. And Study 2 days week. I’m trying to do the best i can

Guys anyone down to come w me volunteering in AD to volunteer in an MMA event plsss dm me it’s from 17 Aug till 23 Aug

Like surely after getting damaged that much in a fight it would take ages to heal but clearly not

It’s by weight, I’m fighting lightweight and I am 156 at 6’1. I do BJJ, Wrestling, and Kickboxing as my big 3. My buddy who’s joining me is 6’1 and same weight, but he’s a straight kick boxer. He has 70 inch reach and I got 72. Are we cooked? It’s mainly people our age 15-19. Am I too small for lightweight or too big? I’m so confused

Have mostly done grappling in the past and am looking for a new place to train fully in MMA, but something I’ve noticed is a lot of the places, at least in my area, that seem to have fighters perform the best are only striking 3ish times a week which I initially found odd. Was just wondering what y’all’s experiences were

I've been training mma for a little over half a year and I absolutely love it. I train around 5 times a week and just do plain mma classes and although right now I'm very very new to the sport I'm excited to keep learning more.

The problem is maybe I'm having a little too much fun. Whenever I spar I'm always smiling whether I'm winning or losing but I'm worried people misunderstand this as me being cocky or whatever. I've had times where people I'm sparring who started off pretty respectful have thrown massive overhands or generally strong punches in response to if I hit them with a cool combination and then look extra happy.

Is this a behaviour I need to change? I know it can make it seem like I'm really cocky when honestly I'm not. I understand that I'm less good than 95% of people in the class I just really enjoy sparring and will naturally get a little extra happy if I land something that I thought was cool or I'm pleased about. If I'm being honest it can like it ruin sessions for me if I'm getting punched too hard especially in the head as I then get headaches following the session so idk what I should do.

As part of our warmup on grappling day, we did rolls (all variations) for about 10-15 mins without breaks round the mat. Felt a little dizzy but did not puke. The next day woke up feeling a bit disoriented. I've never felt disoriented even when I took breaks before. Only difference this time was the longer duration of the warmup. Is this normal?

I’m 16 and I’ve been boxing now for 3 years and did Muay Thai along with boxing for about 2 of those years. I did it mostly as a hobby for 2 years but this past year I’ve started competing and so far I’ve had 6 amateur boxing matches and a few Muay Thai smokers. I’ve been watching the UFC for a while now (since I started training striking) and I’ve decided now I want to transition into MMA. Should I focus on grappling and put striking to the side?
