1. I train in BJJ, before that I did no-gi submission grappling/MMA.
2. I started with karate as a kid, then a lot of WSD, then some FMA with a sprinkling of silat/JKD, then switched into MMA along with no-gi and now BJJ. I switched to BJJ because I thought it would help me improve my technique. It seems to be working.
When I started trying it was with the idea of SD in mind, but now I train because I absolutely love it.
3. core techniques... It's just basic techniques for jits and mostly based on posture.
4. I do a lot of weight training, mostly with DBs at home now because I got this kick-ass DB set that is in 10# increments up to 100#. I used to do a bit of Olylifting but since I insist on going to the most expensive BJJ school in town I couldn't afford BJJ AND weight training. I follow the New Rules of Lifting workouts, mostly. I also have my med balls, pull-up bar, homemade rings, etc. I consider BJJ my metcon and the rest of what I do on my own is resistance training.
5. It depends on who's doing the MMA.
6. Probably Muay Thai. |
