FIRST POST, my two favorite Youtube channels for Combat Disciplines. There is no true substitute for the gym BUT when you can't go or don't have that option, these channels will be a great asset for learning

Glad we got this going

The gym is fine and all, but if you don't know how to fight, those muscles are a complete waist, and working-out becomes nothing more than a sign of physical insecurity.

2018-01-25 18:57:10 UTC  

Well you need the strength to effectively fight.

2018-01-25 18:57:17 UTC  

Not really...

2018-01-25 18:58:21 UTC  

Judo and BJJ fighters try to keep their bulk down, as do a lot of other fighters.

Some of the best fighters I trained with were in the 150-170 range.

2018-01-25 18:58:42 UTC  

Well you can be very strong at those weights

2018-01-25 18:59:16 UTC  

Having the strength and an intimidating presence is absolutely beneficial in a street fight. Even a smaller guy who has obvious muscle tone and lifts will have a large psychological advantage

2018-01-25 18:59:28 UTC  

True

2018-01-25 18:59:49 UTC  

Im not discrediting strength training, by any means.

Im just hoping that our goys are lifting weights AND doing some form a martial art training.

2018-01-25 19:00:13 UTC  

That's reasonable

2018-01-25 19:00:46 UTC  

If they had to choose between the two, I'd tell them join a MMA gym before joining a regular gym.

2018-01-25 19:02:00 UTC  

How many dead hang pull ups can you do. Push-ups etc

2018-01-25 19:04:37 UTC

2018-01-25 19:15:43 UTC

2018-01-25 19:15:47 UTC  

shit is going to cost.

2018-01-25 19:16:09 UTC  

i spend $90 for two days a week of boxing/jkd/muay thai but it is worth it

2018-01-25 19:16:27 UTC

2018-01-25 19:16:58 UTC
