do what this guy said op. join a muay thai gym. even if they're the cardio fitness classes where the soccer moms are punching the bags like pussies, do those classes. it'll get you somewhere.

what's wrong with muay thai?

>>41697229
muay thai's are delicious

starting out with a striking sport like others have said is a good way to get a base for sure. Usually less expensive than bjj as well. However, the learning curve is very, very steep. I had the same idea of getting into MMA this way in highschool 6 years ago, i did MT 3-4 times a week and grappled once per week. After a couple years i still was nowhere near competition level imo.

Don't plan on going competetition, unless I can make myself that good. I really have no other hobbies that I follow regularly. I'm 6' 230 lbs, I have a long way to go, but I got to start doing something.

1. Lose fat and delve into MMA
Alternatively lose fat by delving into MMA

Also the best sport for fighting is Judo

>>41697473
alright, then just do the classes, literally nothing is stopping you.

Plan on it, thanks for the advice.

lmao at people nitpicking various martial arts who would get bodied by any practitioner of any one of them

>>41697202
You should start doing Gaeshido.

>>41697202
For things like bjj where do you get belts? Like do they give you a white belt on your first day of class or what?

>>41697202
You should lose weight as you train. As for what martial art you do, that's up to you.
I prefer boxing.

>>41699613
Naw, you usually buy your own gi and belt.

Pussy. I don't fuck with that girly shit, I study the blade.

i'm right there with you ken sama

>>41697273
Muay Thai is legit

>>41699613
you get in on the first day and have to colour it with the blood of your enemies.

>>41697473
Training in muay thai as a hobby here. Will never get into competitions either. It's HIIT but fulfilling. It's a great workout and you'll learn how to defend yourself when the time comes

>>41697202
Eat less, start training punches kicks and takedowns. TADA

weightless squats and push ups and jumping rope. what ever really elevates your heart beat for more than 30 mins.

You're already doing it wrong.

99.999% of the time mma fighters follows this path

>start boxing / MT/ bjj/ wrestling for fun/school
>realize you're better than others
>coaches realize you're better than others
>coaches and yourself decide to try an amateur fight in related sport (boxing match, bjj comps)
>you win those.
>do amateur mma fight


it's nearly never

>no background whatsoever
>decide to be mma fighter.

>>41699613
usually when you sign up you get a gi/ belt

if not buy one on amazon like the other guy said.

>>41702281
He just said hes not even competing and he's doing it to lose weight stop being retarded.

eat less grapple more

>>41702303
oh you're right lol im drunk

>>41702281
Not true these days. Most new MMA fighters start from no base. Only real exception is BJJ.
