Muay Thai because you are more versatile.

Although I would argue that you should attend a boxing gym for at least a year so you can learn how to throw a proper punch.
So boxing gym for a year first then transition to Muay Thai?

If it is a real deal, reputable martial arts school/organization, they will have no age limit.

Yea absolutely. At the end of the 1st year of boxing don't feel obliged to stay. Transition to Muay Thai because you will learn so much more about striking.

As you get older, or at the same time if you have the money and time, transition to grappling. A lot of guys in striking arts are head hunters, and you want to reach old age with all of your faculties.


The Thai Clench + Judo/BJJ will make you a beast if trained in conjunction...

This is a thread I have been waiting for from the Coli. I am a striker. Trained Boxing and Muay Thai growing up, but I want to make the transition to grappling before I get too old to take the damage that comes with this type of training.

I have been to introductory Japanese Jiu-jitsu classes, and I am going to attend a BJJ class soon.

I was also looking at Sambo and Krav Maga too.

What are your guys take on the Sambo and Krav Maga?


How are you guys even training with full contact in a pandemic :jbhmm:
Sambo is glorious I love it its violent as fukk
So is krav, controlled continuous aggression
I started on krav after boxing I just started sambo about 2 months ago

It's beautiful:ohlawd:

As far as training in a gym, it's a closed session/ gym. It's only like 6/8 of us. Everybody gets weekly tests and we clean constantly.

:banderas::banderas::banderas:...son said Rickson would be mid spar shooting the s**t with his sparring partner and tell him, "gwonhead and free up your right hand to tap because your left arm is going to be on the business end of an armbar in about 10 seconds"

Yall put me on man, this shyt so fun :wow:.

Went to fundamental classes for 2 months and watched hella videos before going to advanced classes this week. This was my first week actually rolling and brehs this shyt so humbling. Im 26 getting did in by 15 year olds and shyt. It's all love tho everybody chill asl:obama:

in my first 2 rolling classes I managed to survive well and get 1 tap in each, one kimura from mount and guillotine from full guard. tho of course i was def getting tapped tf out myself lmfao.

The sensei is hilarious too, dude a beast and cool as fukk. He's Brazilian as hell too. He first came to the US in 2001 and didnt even know how to use a shower.

In this day and age, I encourage black men to either get a firearm or learn a martial art or some shyt:yeshrug:. Can't be out here a walking stain



I recommend it to you guys looking for a nice physical hobby :whew:. Rolling got me sore asf


Welcome to the club, you ain't really into until you pass out from a choke.

:blessed:

Also, ask what someone does, put an extra squeeze on cops. I always do!

But seriously well to the club breh.

Im 41 it's been a transition of growing pains because I had to learn to shorten my steps up 3-6 inches to prevent takedowns and is also improved my footwork.
