Being able to walk on land and swim in the sea is an awesome analogy, been training bjj for 3 years and blue belt but started doing muay thai 8 months ago, a person really takes the nuances of each art for granted until you try it, feel very overwhelmed in muay thai still but hopefully over time like when I started jiu jitsu I will adapt to being uncomfortable eventually

I'm from morocco ,I trained under an MMA coach in casablanca who used to teach us ground game where he mixed elements of BJJ , Judo and Freestyle wrestling and standing game in which he teach bases of Muay tai , boxing , kickboxing and I remember that he always repeated a million times during training sessions :" Never think of MMA as many martial arts and never think that you're training many things ,always remember that MMA is one sport not many , be a striker , and wrestler ,and a grappler."

Muay Thai and BJJ are so dope .. the perfect dichotomy .. yin & yang ..

@puali00 11 ай бұрын

I used to play defense (in football), I never played offense, so I was always the one tackling and delivering the hits .. I tried one BJJ class and it was fun but it reminded me of defense and so I decided to go train Muay Thai to learn how to take the hits and be a little more of the aggressor .. It's been very beneficial for my mind, body & soul. I do plan on taking BJJ eventually to be well rounded like yourself, but for now i'm stoked on the Muay Thai training.

I began BJJ and Muay Thai. Lost on both but eventually will get it. Still being careful with my injuries that I have though (shoulder tendinitis, knee, lower back, plantar fasciitis to name a few).

@Krufessor_Rad 5 күн бұрын

Yes, I am consistently working through injuries. Especially at my age and because of the intensity that I train at. Be sure to invest as much time as necessary into managing recovery through strength and mobility training.

I just moved from a small town to a bigger city and finally have access to jujitsu and Muay Thai classes. My opinion this is the best combination of offense and defense and the classes I’ll be taking include aggressive offensive wrestling. For me personally this is the best because I’m looking at going into Law Enforcement.

Hey dude I also do Bjj and boxing focused Muay Thai!

If someone has a wrestling background then it will be easy for them to adapt to bjj and striking. But if someone didn't wrestle, they should definitely combine bjj and muay thai while also emphasizing on getting good at boxing in muay thai. Years ago when I was new to bjj I rolled with a killer blue belt who did bjj for about 3 years and got his purple belt in his 4th year. I asked him if he trained in other styles before bjj and hew said he had a background in muay thai. Years later it now makes sense for why he was such a skilled grappler in a very short period of time despite not wrestling in school. There are so many similaraties in muay thai and bjj that go perfectly with each other as they both rely on leg and hip movement. All of the knee strikes, kicks, elbows, clinches and other movements transition to bjj for shrimp and other position escapes, guard passes, good top pressure and many submissions.

I'm looking to get into Marshall arts when I'm done with sports and I have pretty close to zero experience in any type of martial art. I've been doing some digging into doing BJJ and Muay Thai to learn new skills and be able to defend myself. Do you think it would be possible to learn two different martial arts at the same time. I want to keep doing the sports I do, so I'm obviously going to have to do some compromising for recovery sake and time constraints

@@michaeldietz7793 I spoke about that in the video. It is a matter of the time you have to commit to training in multiple martial arts and how it will affect your ability to learn, but if you can make the time and are okay with taking in all the information. Do it. If you plan to keep doing other sports as well that is where your time may run thin. So you’ll have to figure out how to balance all of that. Something may have to take a backseat so you can focus on whichever thing you decide should be put at the forefront.

Kru would you say you prefer muay thai with bjj together or do you think pure mma is more effective?

@Krufessor_Rad 10 ай бұрын

They are different things in my mind in the sense that is you “train” mma you can end of mediocre all around. I believe in specializing in some particular skill sets and build around them and then you can complete the picture over time. I explain that in detail the video as I started with MMA. I hope that helps.

@mikea7732 10 ай бұрын

@Krufessor_Rad I've always believed the same. Having a solid base is better than jack of all trades. Do you think training the two slows down your growth in either one? Like could you have been better in BJJ overall if you didn't also train muay thai?

@Krufessor_Rad 10 ай бұрын

@@mikea7732 It's all in how you allocate your time and how much time you've spent doing them. With anything. If you split your focus something suffers, so I have stepped away from one for a bit to focus on the other at time in the past. I also have students who attend more MT classes than BJJ and vice versa. They do both, but put more time into one of them. Over time you'll level up all around. Just do what you're feeling, or what your body or mind can take.

Long term Isshinryu karate student here. I have often tapped out BJJ black belts who had as many as 20 professional wins in MMA. A few months ago, I met a BJJ black belt who was starting Muay Thai training. I demonstrated to him a true isshinryu right cross on his heavy bag and also demonstrated an Isshinryu front thrust/push kick. He told me, "Don't worry about your age. If you ever hit someone that hard, it's going to seriously mess them up." I responded, "That was the point." Isshinryu Karate has been combining grappling and striking since long before UFC and ONE were even founded. I know close to 300 unique submissions from the Shorinryu side of Isshinryu karate. Most of these submissions are legal in the UFC, but the fighters there have never seen nor heard of them.

Can you Train This combo 7 days week as you Train different Parts of your Body and its different

@Krufessor_Rad 2 ай бұрын

I train them both 4 to 5 times a week. Like many of my students, but there are weeks that you change it up. Muay Thai 4 times that week and BJJ 3 times and so on. It depends on how much time you have and what the training schedule is where you train, but I wouldn't train anything 7 days a week. The body needs rest. I think at my peak I was doing 6 days a week and that was 2 to 4 hours a day. I hope I understood question properly and was able to answer it for you.
