If you have access to a good MMA school in the area. You should try it for 3-6 months. Aside from it being a good base you will learn which range you are naturally disposed for. Boxing, Kicking, Clinch or Ground. Then you could keep it up while you find a good RBMA school. If you can find a good JKD school (I think it easier to find a good MMA school or a lot of JKD schools are MMA schools.) that could replace the MMA school. You really need both. The RBMA is for immediate need and the other school would be for long term growth.

[" And although we may do our best to avoid trouble, sometimes trouble insists on finding us. When that happens......when the time for talk is over, warriors act. They flip the switch and act decisively - ruthlessly if necessary - to preserve and defend the things that they hold dear."

I AM taking these classes at my college and I am recieving college credit.
Frankly I think there's at least some utility in getting credit hours while training...
Why the hell wouldn't I sample this and that? I mean... I want pretty tae kwon do kicks... and maybe I'll do my hair like the Xtreme Paul Mitchell team.
I've fought muay thai and trained in mma and some other practical stuff...why not add a little flare...

c'mon... am I the only one who thinks I'm funny???Last edited by shaolin-warrior; 10-22-2009, 10:01 PM.

Oddly enough, the Tae Kwon Do class I'm taking isn't bad...as far as conditioning goes, these guys aren't screwing around. Nothing hella fancy either...variations of front kick, ax kick, side kick, hook kick, and roundhouse kicks (flicky icky icky, but whatever, at least I can train my muscles to learn variety) and some blocks and straight punches...(I took an MMA class, a Krav Maga class, and a Kenpo Karate/Self Defense class all on campus and this is the only one that comes close to beating my ass)
I still feel the techniques are sub-par to my beloved Muay Thai and Filipino stuff (in ALL of these classes, the MMA instructor didn't have a good foundation in striking)...but I digress. If you train hard and have the proper attitude, it goes a long way.
I really have a Japanese itch right now...I REALLY want to train some GOOD judo and maybe even some Kyokushin Karate. I just love the way they say OSU!
OSU!!!
I love it. <3 x o x o <3
