Been training textbook Muay Thai and Boxing (seperately) for years now, had a number of amateur bouts in boxing, and a few MT smokers.
I don't think either sports will get me paid much if i went pro. The talent pool in boxing is so deep, and kickboxing never took off to begin with here in the U.S. So that leaves me with MMA.
I joined a grappling and wrestling class. I just need some advice about changing my striking style to fit the rules of MMA. Like i said, i'm training both arts in their purest forms (Muay thai to a lesser extent, because of U.S. regulations), so base your advice off of that
.
I'm just looking for stuff like:
How my stance should be
Maybe some techniques that might not work in MMA
Some techniques that might work better in MMA.
How the "baby gloves" would affect my defense and offense in terms of MMA.
etc. and if any of you guys have transitioned from a pure striking art to MMA, please tell me about all your experiences. I would love to hear them.
K thanks.
