What should I take up, Jiu Jitsu or Muay Thai?

I was a Wrestler in High school for 3 years. I was pretty good, went to regionals all three years (though never made it to States)





Between Jiu Jitsu and Muay Thai, Which do you think would benefit me the most in an MMA fight.





OR should I do both? I only have around 4-5 hours a week to train, Is that enough time to cross-train efficiently? Or would it be better to just concentrate one? If so.. Which?|||because u have wrestling experience, take both. your experience will benefit u a lot. muay tai is very effective so take that too.





4-5 hours of training is not enough because u should be training 2-3 hours daily and take a day off if u have any sores or pains.





definately take muay thai 1st and whn ur experienced take brazillian jiu jitsu because its more about technique then form.





The reason i say take MT first is because u have wrestling experience but take BJJ as soon as possible.|||take both, but be careful, both can really hurt you bad if you are getting the real deal and not some fake junk|||Try muay thai, when you can also practice your wrestling.|||This is a tough question! If you can do both, it would be great.


Jiu-Jitsu is a must know. You needed to know the techniques, and how to escape. On the other hand, you needed Muay Thai also. You need striking skill. When you are fighting, you don%26#039;t always go to the ground right away. Well, it depend on who you are fight. Even a Jiu-Jitsu fighters sometime they are stand too when fighting.





My suggestion for you is to do 6 months of Jiu-Jitsu, and 6 months of Muay Thai. That way, you have a little of both, or


find yourself a school that teach you both of Muay Thai, and Jiut-Jitsu at the same time. I hoped this help you. Good luck to you, and see you inside the Octagon.|||i would say muay thai since you already have some ground game after all pulling arm bar isnt that hard if your already sitting on someones chest, you would prolly benefit more from the muay thai, more than anything you need to find more time to train it though|||No one can truly answer that but you.





No doubt you will get various answers based upon personal preferences. However, this is a personal choice. What %26quot;Fits%26quot; for you may not %26quot;Fit%26quot; for others.





I visited many Dojos prior to finding a %26quot;Home.%26quot;





I would recommend exploring both. One will be a definite fit once you commence training.....and you%26#039;ll know it when it happens.





Train hard.


Good luck.|||if you are gonna do mma you should find 4-5 hours a DAY to train and if you can do both, but if you can only do one do muay thai i%26#039;d say just because you can already wrestle|||Whatever you do, do not ever waste your time with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ or Basically Just Judo).





Go find a good Judo dojo and learn Kodokan Judo.
