doing bjj, want to start mt

[cmburns]

I am currently training bjj 4-5 times a week right now and want to start training muay thai at my gym. I was wondering what kind of training schedules you guys have because I'm not sure how I'm going to organize mine. I don't know if I should do a mt class right after bjj or just pick one or the other.

any help is appreciated.

Why not try to alternate doing muay thai and bjj every other training session? That way you dont get sick of one or the other.

that's the thing. I can't get enough of bjj right now. I would go every day if I could handle it but it wears me out too much.

Trained 6 days a week BJJ before holiday... I think I overtrained...

Now I try to find a mix between BJJ, Strenght Training, Kyokushin and Boxing... The days are just too short

Ya i workout six days a week. I dont however have a set schedule since i dont have time to go to a gym. I may roll / spar with a couple of friends a few times a week if they are available. Otherwise i just do cardio or strength training.

Since you dont want to give up any bjj time the only way to try muay thai is gonna be to do it before/after bjj. The only other option i can think of is to add more days to your workout week(say maybe up it to six instead of four or five)

We have a BJJ class at noon everyday that I try to hit at least 3 times a week and then we have BJJ (everynight form 6/7 or 7/8) followed by MT on M,W,F which I try to hit once a week, and then we have a Sat BJJ class followed by a MT from 11-130 that I usually make. So four or five BJJ sessions and two MT seems to work ok for me. The night classes are followed by an MMA class untill closing time that if I end up going to I cut out the next day just due to being sore/exhausted after 4-5 hours straight.
