Columbus Ohio Kickboxing
How do I get into fighting for MMA?
I live right outside Columbus, Ohio. My first BJJ class is Wednesday. I will be training BJJ and Kickboxing once a week. How do I get into mma fighting amateur wise?
To get better you have to take risks and you learn by mistake you can’t get experience in mma if you don’t try it. You can also pick up stuff by fighting other people. Neither of you answered my question. If i was asking for advice about how long to wait you both would of helped. If I wanted to wait a few years before trying to spar I wouldn’t be asking this.
I can see what you are saying by taking risks and getting out there and just doing it but MMA is not one of those sports where you can just go out there and expect to learn. Say you go out there inexperienced and wind up on the ground in the first few seconds of the fight and find yourself tapping to a submission, what have you really learned?? That you need to learn how to fight off of the ground…avoid the takedown, maybe a little submission defense?? Well no kidding, the same goes for getting clipped and winding up getting knocked out, what have you learned there?? Keep your hands up?? MMA is long past the early days, where you can just go and swing for the fences and hope that you connect. The sport has evolved to a more technical stand-point. There is nothing wrong with sparring, you can do that in training. If you start your amateur career off and lose more fights than you win, chances are you will never make it into the pros. If you do want to start fighting amateurly though, Columbus is a great city to start…I would talk to your trainer and tell him you are looking to fight, try and find some small local venues (usually found on the internet) and show up. There are plenty of smaller shows out there. Make sure that you video tape all of your fights so that you can go back later and try to resolve any holes in your game (if the fights last that long).

Point Kickboxing
What is a good kind of exercise to improve upper body strength?
I’m going to sign up for an exercise program (kickboxing, pilates etc.) but I don’t know what kind would be the best if I specifically want to work on my upper body strength.
All advice is appreciated! 10 points to best answer!
Pilates is great for improving upper body strength and it also increases fitness and improves flexibility too, which is a good bonus.
