martial sparrer
Orange Belt
I have been studying mma for 5 years now. the mma that I have been studying is of course a mixture of: karate, muay thai, boxing, jeet kune do etc. so now I am sparring with opponents, and presently I have found that I need a step up in sparring opponents. I am very interested in joining a non-mma dojo to learn a traditional martial art. I feel like if I do though I will be starting at zero and learning a whole bunch of stuff that I already know and can apply - for example karate, well I have been practicing a whole range of kicks for 5 years. taekwondo, same thing, wing chin, I have done lots of boxing, kenpo - the instructor told me its like boxing with some kicks, and I wont be sparring until 6 months in. now Im kinda discouraged. IS MY THINKING WRONG HERE thanks rocco.
