I'd not try to tell an instructor how to warm up his class. Most instructors won't appreciate it. This is one of the main problems with "formal" classes.

I'm not sure what brand my gi is. We train mostly no-gi. But I have a gi top I use when I go to jits seminars, I think it is an old Judo Star gi top from the short time I took Judo. Judo was fun - and the gi top works fine for jits.

We're just a small club that meets in a warehouse space with some boxing rings.. So our dues are cheap.

MMA is great for kids. Coaches, however, can really mess it up if they are morons. Same problem exists in kid's Folk Wrestling, kid's Football, kid's Soccer. The problem of "Bad Coaches for Kids' Sports" is nothing new at all.

Dang. I always like to watch Karo.

good coaching and lots of practice. The movement is good if you can make it work on resisting, athletic opponents. The only way to achieve that: Good coaching and lots of practice.

Kicking isn't so useful in fighting. I'd go with the judo and wrestling.

Flash sells. Most people don't want to practice a real martial art, so they look to flashy products that don't require as much from them.

Deep stances are worthless for fight training, in my opinion.

I practice because I like the constant challenge and constant growth forced on me by practicing effective martial arts. Brazilian Jiu Jtisu, boxing and wrestling keep me constantly improving and constantly striving for some new technique or goal.

Lots of protein. Lots of fruit and vegetables. Lots of coconut milk (if maintaining or gaining weight) Lots of healthy oils, olive, peanut, etc. Lots of water.

Boxing will strengthen them right up!

Boxing Wrestling Brazilian Jiu Jitsu

Neither good nor bad. But maybe, in my personal opinion, a little unnecessary.
