Anyone train MMA here?

I hate the idea of there being MMA training. As much as I hate Bas I agree 100% with him that you have to have a specific discipline as your backbone to base your training on. Look at Lyoto right now and how his Karate background is helping him dominate his fights.

most legit schools, in my area at least, don't let you in to the mma training until you've reached a certain level in at least one striking art and one ground art. i train muay thai, boxing, and bjj, along with mma training.

He uses his Karate with all the other aspects of his game. His game is definitely not based completely on Karate. He uses the angles he learned from Karate well and a lot of the movements, but the footwork changes a bit and once you're in a clinch or on your back that all goes away. He just has an extra tool that he uses aspects of really well. He's still a BJJ blackbelt and has trains muay thai, wrestling, etc.

I'm like Trunks. I do MMA classes where we work standup/ground/takedowns but I also do boxing/BJJ (gi and no-gi)/wrestling/muay thai. Our coaches require you to go to the rest of the disciplines or you'll never get a fight.

Trunks, where's your fight? Where do you train out of?

That's awesome. My jiu-jitsu coach (Comprido) actually comes out to MN to train Brock Lesnar for his fights.
