So up until a few weeks ago I was training JJJ.
I have a little wrestling experience (20 years ago).
I'm currently training Muay Thai 2-3x/week (2 hour sessions).
I want to supplement this with BJJ.
Goals/constraints:
- My main interest is in fitness & learning/doing for its own sake (I enjoy this sort of thing.)
- I don't care to compete. (I won't completely rule it out, but its not a consideration at this time for me.)
- I'm thinking no-gi might be better since that seems like it would translate better into self defense scenarios. (I'm hoping people can give me some thoughts on this part.) Not a humongous deal for me, but all else being equal, better applicability to self defense would be good.
- Would prefer classes that are at least 90 minutes. Or if there are two back-to-back 1 hour classes I could attend (e.g., no-gi + gi, or a 60 min drilling class followed by 30 min free roll), that would work too. In my JJJ training we had a dedicated ground day and I always felt that 60 minutes wasn't enough.
My plan is to focus on Muay Thai for at least a few more weeks (maybe even a few months) at three two-hour classes per week. Then to drop down to 2x Muay Thai and add 2x BJJ, and keep my 1x weight training/week.
Any suggestions? I can find lots of BJJ with gi around me, but coming up sparse on the no-gi BJJ.
