aslong as your in a good gym, legit you will progress just fine, no matter how out of the water you feel… go to tournaments, seminars, trips that your school will do to brazil ( most schools with linage to brazilian instructors have annual trips to brazil), hell even get private classes once in a while if ur gonna miss a few days or want to drill a move or make your armbars dangerous, nothing better then a black belt to step up your game.
remember the only way to get good is with mat time, the more the better, bjj is awsome man, and hard as hell.

I just got back from my first MMA class. Was really fun. I'd like to say to new people, just relax, and soak up as much info as you can.

so, ive been thinkin about practicing MA, i'm still a college student and i have never done MA before. Just thought learning something new, when i only got 3 days of classes would be nice. I searched around my Univ, there are some MMA gyms and other more specific MA gyms like Judo, boxing, BJJ. I was thinking maybe i should focus on one MA first and if i like it, try out MMA. I'm still torn between Judo, BJJ, and boxing. I fear that it will take long time to advance in Judo and BJJ, and be stuck with little kids learning simple repetitive routine for a long time during the low belt stage… with boxing i feel like i will need alot of guidance in the beginning, and it feels like most gyms around here are more for sole purposes.
Anyone got tips on chosing what (the size of the gym, MA choice for newbie, and teacher) when you are starting out for the first time?

i had my first bjj lesson yesterday and at the end everyone was rolling and i was asked but said no, (there was a couple of other new people who also said no so i didnt look out of place) as i didnt know anything about it. I dont know the rules to it, how you start, are you supposed to make the other person tapout like a proper fight, if you're about to get submitted are you allowed to do absolutely anything to get out of it?

Here's my advice when rolling: Since you're new, you don't know much. Your partner should help you out when you make mistakes. But say you get put into a submission, you can try to find a way out, but don't get a sudden burst of energy and try with all your force to get out, just tap. Then you will learn what you did wrong to get put in that situation and you will avoid it. Remember learn technique before you try using too much strength. When you roll with bigger guys in your class, and you have sloppy technique you won't do ****. But if your technique is good, you will be able to roll them over w/o a problem. Also, ask for advice. Like after you tap out, I'd ask how I could have avoided that.

I'm really new to this, never even lifted weights at a gym before…
What exactly should I bring with me on my first day of class? I think I can get a gi there, but I don't know about anything else.

Basically since its your first class theyre lax about what you need etc.
If you sweat a lot Id def recommend bringing a shirt to wear under your gi. I dont know how people dont wear a shirt underneath. My undershirt soaks up mad sweat and I use it to wipe my face of sweat.

Got a question. Do you guys use MMA gloves or boxing gloves for your kickboxing/boxing classes? Also, do you guys use knee and elbow pads when doing kickboxing sparring, and if so, could you direct me to some cheap ones?

What's up MMA brahs! I'm new to everything relating to MMA and fighting, but i'm starting to get interested in it. I've search all around google to find good schools in Jacksonville, Fl. I just need your more experienced opinions on which option I should choose. I want to learn ground work and Muay Thai in both options.

dont use knee pads, and we never spar with elbows. theres ways you can spar gently with knees, just use the inside of your thigh.

this is really intriguing, and i'm thinking of checking out a few mma gym's in my city
but BB is my first love, and while I'm not huge nor do I want to be I'm at a nice size and would still like a little more mass. I don't want to sacrifice too much of my BB training for anything else
why are people saying it's hard to do both?
is it because size is a hindrance?
