I would say my striking is much better than my grappling . It’s low intermediate level .
However with only 10 wrestling classes and I have been practicing at home ..I have made very good progress . More progress in 10 classes than the 80 I had with my coach lol
Whom I fired !!!
My BJJ I know many of the moves and do ok when we drill but poorly when we fight as I am overmatched and I gas out after 5 min
And that's because your fitness is poor...not because of your age before you say it but because your fitness is poor

MMA class does tons of wrestling which i badly need!! And ground and pound
The BJJ does submissions
The striking does boxing and MT

I need all 3 !!!


Your MMA class isn't an MMA class if it does 'tons' of wrestling and no striking or submissions. Just who are you training with?

My BJJ I know many of the moves and do ok when we drill but poorly when we fight as I am overmatched and I gas out after 5 min

1. You don't know many of the moves.
2. You aren't 'overmatched' you are in the wrong class.
3. You gas because you aren't fit.

You seem to have everything backwards.

More than likely this "Mma" coach is just a wrestler who teaches wrestling but calls it Mma to get people through the door. Seen that a number of times

I suspect you're right. MMA is a large subject to teach but we do it, as many other places do. Some students do want to fight or at least have one fight but most just enjoy training. It really does need to be mixed martial arts though not just wrestling with a bit of punching on the floor.
Large gyms with specialised instructors can provide separate classes mostly for those serious about fighting or just wanting to do one discipline but even they usually provide a beginner's class for proper MMA. They always provide conditioning and fitness classes.
After a while doing the beginners MMA class you can discuss with your instructor if you want to do other classes such as MT or BJJ, there should be method in your training.
Many students I know already do one style either stand up or groundwork which here is usually Judo or BJJ so they will go for the opposite of what they can do already, then go on to 'join them up'. These days younger people will go straight for the MMA as it's been going long enough to be properly 'joined up' with decent coaches available. Twenty odd years ago we had to do the joining up ourselves so newcomers had the advantage now of our experiences ( good and bad lol)

This is one of the best gyms going, classes tailored to the needs of the students with excellent coaches who are available for the advice quarsar44 needs instead of posting on here. this is what he should be looking for, they will advise which classes he should take, what is too much or too little training and yes they will tell him to take a fitness session. You also cannot go into the fighters MMA classes without the coaches permission.

only choke that could work against his size is rear naked
A triangle choke and he would pick you off the ground in 2 seconds
Maybe a Darci choke
I would never mess with a 6-6 , 300 ib dude

Rener is about six four, probably a hundred ninety five. I'm not messing with anyone, unless I have to. And if a 6-6, 300 hundred pound dude messes with you, you deal with. Maybe you run, maybe you don't, maybe you choke him, maybe he chokes you. It's why it's called a fight.

NO its not but 2 months from nothing is a huge. I can link these moves together in practice.. Probably not live but I know them. By summer they should be pretty ingrained

If he's been around then you should be able to tell us his name. No reason for you not to you haven't been trash talking him (just your other coaches) if he's been around then people here should know who he is then who've been around the sport a long time

The ones who have to constantly tell us how humble they are....generally aren't. That's from my experience

Sounds like a trailer for a B movie.

To be a good fighter and self-defense guy.
