MMA practitioners are notoriously mediocre at every discipline they practice
It's convenient if you have multiple things being taught under one roof but the coaches better be specialists themselves
Your best bet is to find out which of the things You have an affinity for and just learn enough of The Other stuff that You can create strategies to implement your Personal game plan
It's impossible to be an expert at all of it while still being young enough to do it
>How can individual schools even compete?
Heh, as if we would even let degenerates like you into our dojo. You wouldn’t last a minute with a true master.
This is just a more sophisticated way of asking if mma is the best sport. It's stupid because some people like mma, some like boxing, others like muay thai
Holy shit that's so moronic
The giant places like AKA are the successful "MMA" gyms. And they have several coaches for many individual styles, S&C, and then head coaches. A lot of associations are effectively the same. Several locations with guys who are pretty good to great at some things, and the fighters have to travel between them to work on whatever. Not under one roof like a big gym, but ran similar. Horseshit places offer one style, MMA, and usually a self defense or kids class. They may be good at their one thing, but they're terrible at MMA. Successful individual schools used by mixed martial artists don't really care about MMA funnily enough. They're bjj, or boxing, or MT places that are really good at what they do, to the point that fighters seek them out to get better at that.
Mma fighters train bjj, wrestling etc but I'm sure they do train mma as well
I didn't mean to imply they didn't also train MMA. Just that it's not necessarily so cut and dry between single style and mixed, and which is necessarily better all things considered.
> Holy shit that's so moronic
Heh, funny stuff coming from a mma “fighter”. How’s that tbi? Maybe if you knew how to fight for real you wouldn’t be in such a long position.
>You wouldn’t last a minute with a true master.
Did you mean a "true master" wouldn't last a minute in the cage against an intermediate mma hobbyist ? >integrity
judging by the amount of mcdojos teaching garbage and stopping you from crosstraining certainly not >obedience
not a quality unless you're a dog >loyalty
to some random dude you pay 100$/mo to teach you fake fighting >tenacity

I just tried out a gym that has a UFC fighter in it and they literally don't even have an MMA class or a cage, just muay thai and grappling. It doesn't seem much different from just training them separately, maybe more convenient because it's in one place I guess.
Are there MMA gyms where you live? Where I live I only find separate arts, kickboxing or JJ, I believe this is so gyms can charge two monthly fees, since most of those who do JJ also do kickboxing.
>Are these the ultimate temples of the martial arts world?
This is the kind of homosexual thinking from butt fricking trannies like you that turned traditional martial arts into anime meme shit and mcdojos. MMA will become a meme in the future. The best MMA fighters will be talked about like they're legendary gays with anime lore too.

MMA gyms will usually train you in striking, grappling and some throws. Nice to have an overview and they tend to focus on sparring and sparring drills a lot more than most martial arts gyms. You also get to enter MMA competitions through many of them. You're not going to be a master of either striking or grappling but almost no one who competes in MMA is.
should I do judo or no gi wrestling to complement muay thai? If I get in a clinch, I want to ragdoll someone. Not interested in high level competition, I just want to shut up drunks on the street effortlessly
Judo if you're not in your 20s anymore I would say. My knees are kind of stiff (partially from an old injury) so I can't shoot well but judo is perfect for me. Lots of good options close range from clinch.
Also I just MT and judo complement each other well.
But tbf I'm pretty sure that's already far more than is needed for taking on drinks.
The kind of gym you will have access too is not a temple, it is a business. It will be run like a bad business because it is run by either a meathead with some experience or some wannabe sensei.
MMA gyms tend to be relatively mediocre since the instructors are not usually that advanced themselves. Serious places will have separate "classes" and then will work directly with the fighter mixing it up, either in sparring or just drilling.
That's it. You might get hurt. They might have you spar too soon. They might not have you spar. It's all a coin toss.

I'm guessing to be the optimal mma fighter you need to master judo, wrestling and kickboxing

Just say you’re a pussy
if you fought a true master you’d be begging them to stop before you could throw a punch. I doubt you’d be calling them a pussy then.

It is exactly this even though you could just you know teach 1 of each class a week on same payroll split between two teachers.
meant for:
To be fair all dojos are mcdojos. Traditional martial arts is not real fighting, it's Chinese yoga.
You only need Muay Thai and BJJ to be a mixed martial artist
u can be a mma fighter no matter what u know or dont know. nobody is gonna be good at everything anyway at a low level

There are no good gyms only good martial artists.
