I had my first mma training when i was 7 years old fooling around in my room than comes my older brother and i had to fight for life, hard floor, no tapping, and no mom around, that was hard lesson. Peace, stay healthly :D

[hugom]

I found this very helpful Phil, not just for starting off in MMA but these concepts like staying consistent and asking questions are important in general. Keep up the great work!

[dieselforge]

I was training to make my mma debut until this virus happened. Cant wait to get back in the gym. Thank you for this. #OneLove 🙏🏿

[danielle]

Cant believe your making these vids for free. One of the most underrated channels.

[InTheBleakMidwinter]

always bringing the game to the masses in an exceptional manner

[combatkiller]

Hey! coach, stay safe from corona virus!.
Oss!🙏

[tuoyaw]

YESSSS! this video is key and so important. Another strong upload Daru 💙
Once I get my qualification I want to start posting similar sort of content, you always have had the best content of all the combat fitness training YouTube channels. Let’s go, keep it strong coach 💙💪🏼💪🏼

[jonmoris]

I truly believe everyone should have at least a year of fundamental wrestling and striking before they start MMA otherwise it's too difficult

[raysterETremont]

Good advice...and you can't do this if you really don't have the mentality and you have to see fighting as a life style. 💯💪 Phil

Hi Phil, first and foremost, thanks for the videos!

I have a question though, I'm a beginner in MMA. I'm not willing to be a pro MMA fighter but I still want to improve and perform at my best. While working a full-time job, how can I mix the fitness part with all the different classes (BJJ, Striking and MMA) without leaving aside my family? What planning do you recommend to follow? I can give it 3 to 4 trainings max per week.

Once again, thanks a lot for your videos!

For a long while I been stressing out, I graduate within a year and I believe now is a great opportunity

[olddutch]

Great content coach! Those major key cannot be a lie! Any suggestion or equipment should i use at home to work on my techniques?

[OzoVlogaa]

I started kickboxing years ago but I'm very stiff and quite clumsy with my movement so I stopped, MMA is surely a thing I would like to get into again

[FreeChavez]

Started cardio strength and conditioning so when I finally sign up at Travis Lutters... I’ll be ready.

[m.alexanderfields]

Dude your videos are the shit. Im saving some cash to buy your program. I cant wait

[siddafool]

i am 18 years old... no training in in my life, just interested in learning, if you ever see this get back to me

[nihiabstracto]

As always great advice and a great state of mind. I wanted a coach like you.
Greeting from France

[tannerconlon]

What type of gyms should you be looking for if you’re completely new and want to start mma or just fighting in general

[saianvesh]

Phil the type of guy to not name his gym the DARUSALEM.

[FTHadron]
