Hey, im 15 years old im a freshman and I want to know what disciplines to learn if i want to join the ufc. so far i think im going to learn bjj and muay thai. should i learn mma? lol oh that pic isnt of me im using my moms yahoo because i didnt want to make one =)|||Well, find out what is available for you.





My observation is that wrestling seems to translate incredibly well into MMA. Most wrestlers learn some basic standup and submissions, and adapt their wrestling skills rather quickly.





Judo isn%26#039;t a bad choice either. The one hangup about Judo is that it%26#039;s normally done with the gi (jacket), and you don%26#039;t wear a gi when fighting MMA.





Sambo is similar to Judo. The difference is in the groundfighting. Judo allows for chokes, arm locks, and pins. Sambo doesn%26#039;t allow for chokes, but uses leglocks, which Judo does not. They also use arm locks; I don%26#039;t know if pins are used in Sambo competition. However, this may not even be an issue, as Sambo schools are hard to come by.|||Of the three you listed, it%26#039;s going to be wrestling. Other places to start are in Muy Thai, Boxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. The point is to be well versed on your feet and on the ground. Starting with two disciplines is a waste, because you have to see if you can even hack it in one before you begin to diversify.





There are a number of guys who began in wrestling in the UFC, and as you%26#039;re in high school, you%26#039;ll be able to try out and wrestle for free. It will test your will and give you an idea of the speed, strength, athleticism and conditioning that are a part of MMA.





MMA gyms are a good place to start as well, as they offer most of these disciplines and you learn a little bit of everything at once. However, they%26#039;re expensive and you usually have to sign up for a set amount of time.





Wrestling and BJJ are your best bets, as you learn to take punishment and fight off of your back the very first day.|||FIRST, you are eventually going to hav eto do MMA. MMA is the sport you want to do. UFC is just an organization. Mixed Martial Arts is what you see in the UFC - which is what the sport is called-Mixed Martial Arts. First, I recommend learn stand up (Boxing/Kickboxing/Muay Thai...... Then for ground jiu jitsu/judo(for take downs) You still have lots of years to learn all of these...then eventually go to an MMA school and learn how to put all of your arts together. I would start off with Kickboxing %26amp; Jiu jitsu. You%26#039;ll have to eventually do all of the arts you just named if you want to be a successful mixed martial artist. So start out with the arts you feel like you%26#039;d like to start off with. Gradually move on to another art. Good luck.|||Of the three you mentioned, I%26#039;ve found Sambo to consistently be more dynamic and useful. It has a lot of overlap with both Judo and wrestling. Combined with some bjj and striking, it would add up to a pretty well rounded training regimen. Schools that are strictly %26quot;MMA%26quot; tend to be a little lacking. It%26#039;s better to go to those gyms after you%26#039;re comfortable fighting to work on blending your game together.|||if you are still young in high school i would join wrestling it offers a huge advantage in ground fighting, and then incorporate bjj into your wrestling, and then learn muay thai, judo is also very good because it uses alot of throws that are unexpected in mma. mma is a sport not a style %26quot; mixed martial arts%26quot; just mix up martial arts. |||Simple answer is join High School wrestling team and train in Muay Thai and BJJ. Most important thing for you to do is to learn wrestling. That is were your base should be, it is also probably the cheapest to learn. |||I would start with bjujitsu,, then you can work on your striking, you can%26#039;t hardly make it these days without being a well rounded fighter.|||bjj and muay thai are excellent if not generic choices, but still, go with them.|||THe best combo for UFC would be tai chi and aikido. UFC champions usually train in these brutal arts.
