When starting mma, what would be best to learn first, boxing, jujitsu, wrestling or..?

Simple answer are you looking for sport or self defence??





Bjj is modified judo and is more groundwork aimed at sport.





Japanese Jiu-jitjsu is pure self defence orientated including kobudo ( weapons art ) and modern street smart methods.





Your choice on this one best wishes and good luck in whichever you choose :)***.|||I%26#039;ve changed my mind completely on the future of MMA. So I%26#039;d say take up a %26quot;traditional form of jujitsu%26quot; man. Modern day MMA clubs and so-called schools are missing tons of technique and I can tell it in the cage when I watch these younger guys fight. Trust me take up %26quot;traditional Japanese jujitsu of some form%26quot;. The future of MMA will be leaving what you%26#039;re seeing in the cage today far behind with in the next year or two via %26quot;traditional arts%26quot;. What you%26#039;re seeing today in the cage is crap and many coaches are coming to that realization man. The future of MMA will be %26quot;traditional arts only%26quot;. Many amateur events have already removed strikes like elbows and knee strikes from their competitions so %26quot;Muay Thai%26quot; is on it%26#039;s way out of MMA all together. These events will become more geared towards the %26quot;jujitsu%26quot; practitioner than any one else in the near future. You can bank on that.|||I don%26#039;t know if it matters. I can think of pros who came from a variety of backgrounds, including wrestling, juijitsu, judo, karate, boxing and muay thai. In the US, a large percentage started out in wrestling. But these days more and more are starting out simply training %26quot;mma%26quot; in gyms that teach a mix of grappling and striking. |||If you want to make it in the sport.


Do (boxing) one day/week.


BJJ 1 day/week


muithai the same or mix them up.


dont ever concentrate on just one!


Remember, is what the fans want, and what they want


is an exiting fight, which means bloody stand up fights!


not gay boring man hugging man(but it is MMA)


dont go for the take down, defend it.





PS.


any one can leatn an art.


no one! no one can teach you or learn to


be %26quot;fighter smart%26quot;





Anderson silva


roy jones JR


gsp


urijah faver


etc.





if you dont have it, train your *** off!


hard!





when you up against a smart fighter, give him pressure.


non stop action and combine your arts


to make it difficult for them


to adjust.


|||Start with wrestling if you can%26#039;t do them all at once. Wrestling will help you stay on your feet in an MMA fight and take it to the ground when you need to. Plus when you do start jiu-jitsu it%26#039;ll be easier to get the movements. I%26#039;ve got a lot of guys at my academy and you can always tell if they used to wrestle because they%26#039;ve got experience.|||Wrestling is probably the best base for MMA. If you have the opportunity to join a wrestling team/club at your school, try out. BJJ is the second choice and was the only one for me because my school did not have a wrestling team.





Strikings arts are what should be taken up last. You can always get those techniques later and they can be learned in a shorter amount of time at a sufficient level for MMA.|||In my own opinion, wrestling. If you are a stand-up fighter, wrestling has great take-down defense, look at Chuck Liddell. And If you are a ground fighter, then wrestling also has great take-downs. Look at GSP, %80 of his take-down attempts have been successfull, when normally I think its 30-40 percent.|||You might want to find out what kind of fighter you are. If you%26#039;re more of a stand up fighter then train in either boxing or Muay Thai. If you want to be a ground fighter then aim for either wrestling, BJJ, or sambo.|||dont start MMA,,not much technique in there,,just brawlers and some basic grappling there,, learn something with more substance rather that can benefit you on many different levels, not just the basic survival one.|||i wuld go for boxing n then muay thai then bjj or wrestling
