I wanna get into MMA in Germany, any experiences?

[Deleted Member 78932]

I wanted to do MMA for a long time now, but I was kinda embarrassed with my long hair (I know, pretty pathetic).
So when I cut them in a few weeks what should I look out for? I wanted to do BJJ first, but I guess that will be hard when living in the middle of nowhere.

I'm a former MMA fighter, i would recommend you to start Wrestling & Muay-Thaï boxing before transitionning into MMA.

Not BJJ? And I think I'll do Muay thai last, if even.

I started BBJ after
With wrestling you can put to shame any advanced BBJ-Grappling advanced fighter.

BBJ will just be working on submissions

Start by the most complicated one, muay thai and then wrestling. And mma will be easy with above average bases

Muay thai kinda scares me. Getting punched and kicked while having 0 martial art experience...

if its a good gym they will prioritize basic knowledge and then they will let you spar

I always used to buzz my hair before every fight

So imagine during MMA..
Don't be scared and dw they teach you far before your first sparring

Not for me, i remember sparring on the first day haha. I had my first fight about 2 months later.

Wrestling would only be a better base than BJJ if you trained somewhere in the former USSR or the United States.

 

[Deleted Member 77558]

for current mma kickboxing is probably a better attack base than muay thai due to faster movement and boxing

in fact jiu-jitsu is fundamental for positional control, it is impossible to achieve a submission without controlling your opponent

Wrestling is about control pressure too

Yes,but some wrestlers like colby or gamrot takedown all time due without good ground control
