Jiu-Jitsu/ Mui Thai

[crombie09]

TweetWent to a gym right around the corner from my job today! Im going to start on Thursday. They teach both Mui Thai and Gracie Jiu-Jitsu, the instructor told me he could teach me both. What do you guys think? He said I would get in the best shape of my life.

Tweetlucky!! Jin jitsu is what I have been dying to learn they use a lot of submissions good luck with it!

TweetI've been a gracie student for 2 years who's the instructor Buddy Clinton?

TweetTwo VERY respectable MA's, with BJJ covering the ground grappling and Mua Thaii giving good attacking skills. Thats the one I am looking to get into next. I took Hapkido for a little while and that was pretty cool.

[crombie09]

TweetYeah, been wanting to do it for a while and saying I was going to, then never did it. It was always out of my way, this guy teaches literally around the corner from my job. Im so stoked!

TweetI heard that krav maga was some cool stuff to learn too.

TweetTrue Mui Thai is fought blindfolded in a ring with about 4 guys or so.

Tweetthats awesome dude... those are two of the most practical fighting styles. i wish i had the option where i am.

I have a black belt in traditional ITF Tae Kwon Do, and it wastes so much time with tradition and history that i gave it up. I would love to work in those two styles.

krav maga is really good stuff too.... but it is a lot of practice in repetition.... they basically practice certian techniques untill they are ground into the head.... so when having to use them it is almost instinct.... very practical but not as fun to practice.

TweetSounds great bro, go for it ! I took American Kempo for a bit till I found out my instructor was a tweek. I agree Tae Kwon Do was kinda boring for me too.

Thats like jiu jitsu you have to practice practice practice until the moves are second nature and unlike most jiu jitsu places where they just constatly teach you submissions the gracies make you learn to pass the guard before you learn anything else so when all these other jiu jitsu guys know all these submissions when you put them in your gaurd they're like a fish out of water
