farmboy Posted November 30, 2005 Posted November 30, 2005 where is your location? are you near white plains, the city, any place like that? whats the name of oyur city and area.Auburn is nowhere near White Plains or the city. Not much in Auburn and nothing as far as Mauy Thai goes. I've been looking at going out to Syracuse, though. Quite a few places there, BJJ and others. Of course, the drive is a pain. It's the punch you don't see that hurts you.
Grimslade Posted December 1, 2005 Posted December 1, 2005 I am a Mixed martial artist and I take only wado-ryu but, we train HARD. Also I have a cousin who is a great grappler (he takes BJJ). I go down there and fight them all the time. Its a win win situation, I get better at grappling by them teaing me and fighting me. They get better at striking by me helping them. What Im saying is... SOME karate schools would be great, but to be a mixed martial artist you need to find someone to teach you some more ground fighting... even personally would work. Im sure from your wrestling experience you would pick up on grappling very fast.My opinion is to try the karate place for a while and if you dont like it... leave "I am your judge, Executioner, jury, Executioner, lawyer, prosecutor, and if necessary... your Executioner"
Protoman7000 Posted December 13, 2005 Posted December 13, 2005 Well the way I see it is, if you want MMA then if there is ANY way you can find classes you can afford then do it. However, if you are stuck between doing Karate, and not doing Karate and getting no training what so ever, I personally would take the Karate just so I am getting some training rather then none of all, but if you don't see the value in it, then the hell with it. I believe in martial art practices and such, so I believe that if I continue training that, my skills will expand, I'm a begginer in TKD, and the begginer stuff I'm taught I don't see the point in and I somewhat doubt the style every now and then, then I look at the people who've been in it longer then me and see their skills and even kids who have much better kicking then I do, but also the Dojo/school if you will I go to, offers TKD or MMA, and a great MMA instructor, Max Bishop.
farmboy Posted December 14, 2005 Posted December 14, 2005 You are very lucky to have found a school that offers mma as well as the traditional TKD. Take advantage of it! It's the punch you don't see that hurts you.
