Self Taught Muay Thai

hhmmm.. knowledge is power learn as much as you can from who ever you can. You should join the wrestling team too. If this is the best training you can get right now then that's what you should be doing. The only problem I see in your future is learning bad habits now that will be harder to correct later.

The only problem like right now is that I am a Jr in highschool. So I have two years including this one of school left. After school I workout every day until 4:00. After that on mondays and wednesdays I go home and rest or work out more. Than I will go to my Ju Jitsu class. Now on tuesdays thursdays and fridays I will be at work all night after I work out. So on Saturdays I have a 3 hour day of doing anythng I want. It's like a relaxed day of class with my sensei and those are the days he usually helps me with my striking. So If I do take BJJ it's not going to happen for another 2-3 years depending on my situation. And taking it right now is out of the question since I'm under my parents roof and I dont think they would like me driving to Pittsburgh for an hour to learn BJJ. I will cross train in BJJ and JJJ if it comes down to it in the next 2-3 years. But as of right now I only have access to traditional JJJ which I happen to like a lot.

I highlighted those because they sounded a bit odd. So on some days you're working out twice and taking JJJ classes? That might be a little bit too much overtraining there. It sounds like you're doing all of this everyday as well. It might just be my opinion but you need to maybe lighten it up. Your workouts need to make sure they're focused on quality not quantity. You seem dedicated though so you'll figure out whats best.

if you want to learn muay thai, join a muay thai gym. sure your sensei could be teaching you things that are right, but cross referencing them with reading materials just won't cut it. how do YOU know that what you deem correct actually is?

IMHO, focus on your jiujitsu. take muay thai when you feel you have a good base. just my two cents.

I'm actually impressed that there is a city or town in the US that has no BJJ gym
I thought it had taken over the world (joke)
Is it a really small town?
