Trust me I was huge(260 12% bodyfat) when I began Brazilian jiu jitsu. I worked at Golds Gym and all I did was lift with local Amature bodybuilding contest winners. I got into jiu jitsu and I would throw the little guys around for about 30 seconds, they would "weather the storm" then triangle choke me or armbar me from the bottom. It was a real eye opener. Now I cant get enough of it or kickboxing. all the guys in thoses clubs are badasses and they are the nicest guys ive ever met.
Weight training is great, but it is anerobic when done with high weights, low reps.It does not condition you for a fight unless it is done the right way. It took me awile to retrain my body to use oxygen more efficiently. CROSSTRAIN!!!!![]()
i actually thought size determined the outcome of a fight, with a few exceptions. thanks i never knew that. btw is there a way to learn MMA without actually going into a school for it? i live in canada and their is no form of MMA school, but we have plenty karate, wushu, taikwando, and self defence schools which IMO seem really pointless.
