I'm looking for some informed opinions here. Most of my training has been in Wado Ryu and JJJ with some Law Enforcement SD tactics. I haven't trained in over a year. I moved to the Dayton, OH area a year and a half ago and there are no Wado schools here. I trained for a couple of months in Kenpo but didn't stick with it. Anyway, I'm really jonesing to get back into training and have an opportunity to train with Jorge Gurgel at this place: http://www.ohiomma.com/
I'm thinking about signing up for the MMA course, which would allow me to take whatever classes I want. I'm interested in taking Muay Thai and BJJ. I have some experience with BJJ so pretty much know what to expect there. I've watched a lot of Muay Thai but have never actually gloved up. I watched Jorge teach a Muay Thai class the other night and it was INTENSE.
Anyway, not sure what I'm looking for here. I guess I would just like to hear from those of you who came to MMA from karate or other traditional Asian arts. How easy was the transition? General comments, etc. Fire away!
