Want to start....

i'm 16 years old 6'1, live in clearwater, FL if thats needed..

I've read a bit on this forum and have learned I probably need BJJ, Muay thai, and boxing? those are the best combinations?

I wanted to start MMA training but have no idea where to start on anything. I probably need to find out which martial arts will work best for me then to find a school? I'm eager to learn and start training for maybe getting into competitions and for self defense. anybody have any tips?

Do you have wrestling at your high school, if so join the team

Thanks everyone, i'll probably just sign up for wrestling this next year since the ATT schools are too far away especially without a ride.

I'm guessing that it's a MUST to have an instructor and can't learn by books that teach huh?

Def. need instruction and live drills....Don't take this the wrong way ATT is great but not the place to start. You need a smaller environment to start and grow into ATT.

The best combination is both the effective and the unexpected. The latter is why BJJ dworked so well when it first came out. The former is based on the rules and the training method of the style.
