What’s the best martial art for MMA?

[RepRex]

Agree, kickboxing is also quite good but doesn’t cover as much as Muay Thai.

[poshify]

I'm really glad brazilian jiu jitsu is known as bjj and not bj.
"He's really experienced in bj. He got on his knees and finished me in seconds"

Sanda and Judo are so underrated as base tbh

[Sxm_idk.]

As someone who does taekwondo and has done it for almost 6 years now, and not really the best at it, I’ve subscribed to you, because it seems like you really know your ways, and I feel like I will get more motivated. I had a look on your other videos and seen how you’ve improved, so I’m gonna subscribe!

That muay thai stance though just invites takedowns

[garlicbreadenjoyer]

My father trains BJJ / Muay Thai, he got me into doing Muay Thai and it's great!

[aakashdwivedi]

Absolutely agree. The only drawback of muay thai is the stance, the center of gravity is concentrated on one leg at a time and its extremely susceptible to takedowns. The stance is a big part of muay thai striking.
MMA almost has its own stance which draws from various different combat sports. If the athlete can adapt then they'll be deadly in that octagon.

Agree. But ground game is essential.
Everybody can land a lucky punch but grabs/throws/submissions always come with a plan.

[qpueihy]

Totaly agreed! don’t forget that Muay thai has one of the craziest conditioning along the martialarts aswell.

If you're an MMA fighter you need to be good at all of them

[PHX]

Kickboxing / muy Thai with some wrestling/sambo or ju jitsu and you’ll have a solid base .

[tilloureda]

I agree to some point, but every person is different. So one needs to find the style thats most suitable for your body. Im always imagining it like a Chess game, the one who can see the whole picture and plan just one move more ahead is gonna win for sure, no matter their martial art.
Love your videos though, your progress is good, probs for that. Im practicing Muay Thai and Kung fu. One is agressive and the other one calms my mind. Never forget, martial arts are not just about fighting. Its the way to master your body and your mind.

[douglasbuckanaga]

no matter what martial art you do it'll be different for everyone. my coach said the thing with fighting is it's like a fingerprint. everyone has one but it's not the same for everyone. you got your own styles.

[Ash-sosr]

Sanda for me. They combine striking into take downs so well.

[nightcoreyan]

I would have leaned more towards the Russian martial art Sambo just because in my opinion it’s the closest thing to MMA itself since it combines the three styles of strikes/striking, defending, and grappling 😅

[badart]

It’s definitely sambo. Decentish striking with great takedowns and a developed enough ground game

[quandaledingle]

I'm in an mma dojo where we learn a little bit of everything

[AWCTB]

As someone who does wrestling and BJJ, you are much better off pairing the two rather than just having 1.

[fckfck]

Like seeing you kickin we r same lanky physique approx same age unfortunately cant kick properly since motorcycle crash right hip right shoulder r fuckd i can only keep boxing training but still can use elbows n knee without too much pain... Dont worry about muscle worry about your joints people!!

[pzujmjy]

One of the wildest guys I’ve ever met, was at my local MMA gym, he’s this 40 year old, 5’3 Chinese guy and the dude is a black belt in judo, a state champion in wrestling but his only striking training was in wing chun, and let me tell y’all, this mf could wreck your shit. I watched this dude chain punch a dude in the liver and then immediately step in between the guys legs and slam his shit into the ground.
