Question: Would I be a well-rounded MMA fighter if...?

( Back )

Answer #1:

Get on the wrestling team, it will help you. You aren't going to learn the intricacies of the sport in one season, and probably will get worked over quite a few times. Just stick with it.

*Yes

Answer #2:

Yes, those three skill sets will make you a very well rounded MMA fighter. Don't think you are going to walk into any of the three and be good right away. If you are, great, but it takes time and hard work. Keep at it and you will do great. And as for Silva, yes it is a very common name in Brazil and also in Portugal. Brazilians have a Portuguese lineage as opposed to most South American countries which have strong Spanish ties. As such the Brazilian tongue is Portuguese and one of the most common names is Silva, or Sa Silva Silva is kind of like Portuguese/Brazilian Smith or Jones.

Answer #3:

The wrestling will help you a bunch. Don't neglect your striking though. Some time at a boxing club will help you learn to throw punches correctly and with maximum power.

Answer #4:

You're like 12 years old? Worry about your education and having fun right now.

To answer your question, you'll only ever be as well-rounded as you want to be. There is no limit to training in martial arts. If you excel in one area like Muay Thai, it's better than being just ok or good in several fields at once.

Look at Michael Jordan. Heck of a basketball player, but how about his baseball career?

Wrestling is a good sport for many things however you don't necessarily want to apply too much or any at all really, of martial arts out of respect for the art and rules of wrestling. Wrestling is a great sport and much of it can be applied to martial arts later, though it's not always best to hold knowledge of martial arts before starting wrestling.

Answer #5:

Yes, all three will be great for. But an all MMA class is the best. That will unclude all those forms and judo and other things necessary to be succesful in MMA.

Answer #6:

Yeah pretty well rounded but it doesn't mean you can fight anytime soon. It takes a long time before you will understand the mechanics needed to be a well rounded MMA fighter. Good luck!

Answer #7:

Well, the UFC is fake so if I were you, I would try to get involved in something that is real. The guys in the UFC fights are phonies. They don't even know how to fight. That can be seen by simply watching the matches on TV. They are slow, they make telegraphed John Wayne Cowboy Haymakers, and they stand there and let the other guy beat the shit out of them. It is all fake!

Answer #8:

What ever you do, DO NOT take an MMA class! Continue with Muay Thai, train in BJJ, and wrestle in HS. You will very well rounded if you become proficient at those 3 arts

Answer #9:

yes you would be very well rounded in all aspects, striking, grappling, and clinch. You will also have a long time to study and it is best to study the arts individually.


and yes Silva isthe Brazilian equivalent to Smith or Jackson.
