Should i start MMA

[Whatsamaxilla__]

Should i start mma at 17 for general fitness and for fun. I would probably do grappling and boxing. Has anyone felt better after starting?

Sure beat your face down for nothing

yeah it's a decent way to get in shape and learn some self defense at least. but statistically you're competing with dudes who started training at 5 or so years younger than you for the pro level. genetics will also matter big time - if your bones aren't built right, even the best coaching only gets you so far. most guys overestimate how much they can improve past a certain point anyway. focus on enjoying it as an adult activity and don't expect to become the next jon jones lol.

a boxer cant wrestle

yes they can box, but a mma fighter can defend themselves well until they get the boxer to the ground

I was in a MMA gym and there was one guy that could take me down. And the gym isn’t ass it’s a good high quality fighters gym
