Why Grapplers Should Learn Striking

[@ProfessionalsProfessional]

I agree 100%! Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu are a great combination

[@Mr.Redemption]

4 things you should learn. 1. Jujitsu 2. Muay Tai 3. Blade handling 4. Trigger control

[@Christopher-side_dude-Murican]

Boxing.

[@Mr.Redemption]

Good muay Tai includes boxing, but focusing on hands as much as legs is important.

[@TheOnlyYLNProdigy]

I got 3 out of 4 but Im currently training with blades and blunt objects

[@chrome1018]

5. Gun Fu

[@Mr.Redemption]

@chrome1018 exactly what do you think trigger control is?

[@TheMusikluvah]

💯 every MMA match shows you need to be as well-rounded as possible

[@lorenzebillups9618]

It is rare to find a martial artist who is open to training multiple arts and not throw shade at others

[@lorenzebillups9618]

A striking, grappling, throws, joint locks/pressure points, and a weapon = a complete martial artist You have a great philosophy

[@thirdburna]

I feel like women should definitely learn how to strike. Not because they're gonna be knocking guys that may attack them out but because they more than even men need to know how to defend strikes and roll shots and also maintain distance.

[@Theblackhand1937]

I've been doing Thai boxing and jiu jitsu for the last 5 years. Gi . nogi. I wrestling! Learn it all ! 100 percent agree with you

[@robertcunningham6592]

You are correct 💯

[@christianjames92]

Here's the thing I would caution people about though. picking up striking and being really good at it takes a long fucking time. It's not like BJJ. Someone can go from white belt to really, really good blue belt pretty fast depending on the school. With striking it takes a shit ton of time to get the technique right and the reaction time A1. Guys who are not very good at striking yet trying to strike with people int he street are in danger at all times.

[@thirdburna]

I'd say it takes longer to develop grappling you could actually use in a fight then it does to develop striking you could use. Both take a while and it also depends on body type, athletism and personality but in general i'd after a few months of good boxing training you could use it on the street but for grappling its probably going to take at least a year.

[@thunderkatz4219]

Yeah like karate takes a long long time to get a black belt compared to my friend who got state champion in 8 months I believe

[@JEFFMAN90]

Thats not true. Its easier to get better at striking fast then it is in BJJ

[@christianjames92]

@@JEFFMAN90 If you go to a great BJJ school, which will cost a shit ton of money to be fair, you can vastly go from rom a white be;t to being able to neutralize any non trained person within 4 to 5 months. .

[@ralam468]

I kickboxed for 3 years then switched to BJJ. BJJ guys hate my ankle lock.

I do Okinawan karate and jiujitsu and boxing judo Krav Maga and what your saying is correct

[@emmanuelboakye1124]

Thx

[@bbkingme8831]

I knew how to box since a kid. Beat every mma guy in the gym with handspeed. Until they figured me out and took my 1st punch to land a leg kick and i was pissed. Learned ground game and im unbeatable but once u learn u dont even wanna hurt anyone in street fights. I wish i woulda knew this. I dont even wanna hurt nobody. U learn to let ppl think they can beat u. B4 i knew jitzu i had no prob fightin in the street. Now im a good person that backs down 1st. Wtf is this good man shit ?

💯💯💯preach.

[@kentclark9740]

No wrestling you slam people hard and you get way better conditioning and wrestlers best striking finishing move is the ground and pound.

[@interstateneek]

Do you fight on any MMA organization

[@carelhaasbroek1575]

If you want better defense. Learn to run far and fast, to shoot, and how to beg for your life.

[@user-fd3yz1ip3o]

Pussy mentality besides the shooting part

[@VegetaBlack1993]

Im a shotokan guy.....i do need some grappling....although we do learn a bit of grappling in shotokan as well......well breaks haha

[@MEIN_KAMPF1889]

You need black friends

[@JEFFMAN90]
