OK (ok maybe just to fire things up a lil) but I'm going to decide and go against the grain. Now I'm new to all this so I need and appreciate your opinions. I have some time before I can beign classes so I figure i might as well research what I can about all styles and go from there. As of late I've been doing the forum thing and reading what ppls views are. Right now I have to admit though that I'm thinking a base of muay thai with basic knowledge of BJJ would be the best bet. Maybe I'm kind of biased though cause I used to box and still love to strike (spar). I don't see the advantage of being a good grappler if someone is very good striker and you can never get a hold of him or if you do it doesn't last long enough to finihs because of him close distance striking. I do really have respect for BJJ though and will prolly undoubtly be taking that as well but I'm a little confused to where the advantage to grappling over striking is in the MMA ring? I have almost sealed the deal in my mind that in a real life situation I don't want to be grappler, lol, most fights now a days are rarely one on one and who want to be on the ground when facing multiple opponents if you don't have to? All opposing/for opinions very welcome. One more thing if you come on here saying that BJJ is the only way to go and the only thing you KNOW is BJJ you already too biased thus negating your opinion (again my opinion).
