May 10, 200719 yr Hey..... I wonder how you do you use your training time.....At my gym , we do something like 70 percent grappling , and 30 strinking average .We put A LOT more attention in grappling always , because is the school attitude in mma. Our head instructor teachs much more grappling ( yeah , more ) to the new guys with no previus background on striking. New guys with w/o striking background usually dont learn to strike until they do know the basic moves of ground fighting and takedowns.How do ya split the training ? ´´ The evil may win a round , but not the fight ´´
May 11, 200719 yr Hi Rainbow_Warrior,As my standup and grappling classes are separate, 50/50, but in the combined beginner class, it was probably close to 70/30 or 60/40. I think that's about the right mix, because for most people striking is much more instinctive than grappling. Most people have punched something at some time, whether it was another person or an inanimate object. The most grappling most people have done is a crude headlock or a tackle.

May 14, 200719 yr Author Oh ,, you have 2 kind of classes.... How do you practice combinations or..avoiding puches followed by takedowns , etc ? ´´ The evil may win a round , but not the fight ´´
May 15, 200719 yr Oh ,, you have 2 kind of classes.... How do you practice combinations or..avoiding puches followed by takedowns , etc ?The standup class includes that, it just stops short of actually grappling on the ground (which is where the BJJ class comes in).

May 16, 200719 yr Author ´´ Leave your ego at the door ´´I forgot that my first grappling class , but when being a 200 lbs guy , I was chocked by a 140 skinny advanced guy....I always remember that day ´´ The evil may win a round , but not the fight ´´
May 16, 200719 yr 50/50but if you are good with one, you can either develop it more, or train for the other.its your choice, really <> Be humble, train hard, fight dirty
August 20, 200719 yr At the one I attend they have mauy thai classes and boxing classes, BJJ classes, nogi classes, MMA classes, The BJJ and Nogi classes are set up to sub classes. so one day its technique class, next day sparring class, next day technique class, then sparring the next, so on and so forth. So they get a whole class of one or the other.
August 20, 200718 yr We probably do about 90 striking, 10 grappling in Kajukenbo You suck-train harder.......................Don't block with your faceA good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving. -Lao Tzu
August 20, 200718 yr You mention that the newer students get a lot more grappling work than striking work to start out. I have also seen that the new Modern Army Combatives training starts out with grappling as well. The first level is grappling, and then they move up to the striking and Thai style kicking. Just a trend I noticed. https://www.haysgym.com http://www.sunyis.com/ https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com
