I trained in a garage twice this week when it was 115. As others have said you need to hydrate well in advance. We also trained slower/ with less intensity than normal -- this is key. Of course this is all going to vary from person to person (age, weight, etc).

Good point. MMA has been more than fun for me!!!

Thanks for finding that. It looks like takes a combined total of 156 hours of testing (21 days at 8 hours a day). Real question here: What's it take to be able to teach in most martial arts? I've mostly trained in MMA, and I never gave it much thought as long as the instructors knew a lot more...

Yeah, it makes plenty of sense to me. It makes me think that he comes from a background of styles with resisting opponents, which I place a lot of value in. My hope would be that if it was total crap he'd modify it to be more realistic. However, you're correct in that I do need to do more...

Creds obtained through Krav Maga Worldwide, which seems to be a pretty big place, but yeah it appears from my limited research that one doesn't really need to train in KM to get certified to teach it. :confused:

A mixture of both really.

Gun pointed to small of the back, turn while pushing the gun guys forearm w my forearm, elbow to face, kick to nuts, etc.

Greetings. So I've trained off and on in MMA over the years and always said if I was going to do anything other than MMA it would likely be Krav. I took a free class at a school last week and it was hitting pads and then doing a "gun to the back" defense. I then came home and started googling...

Thanks. Not expecting a study, just a best guess based on experience.

Greetings. If you were to look at MMA, which type of training do you think generates the most injuries. Lets say the types are wrestling, striking, and ground work. Also note that I'm really curious about injuries during training, not actual fights. Thanks!

Nope, not that old.... but I'm also not as young as 95% of the students.

I took a couple years off of MA's due to a knee injury, but was able to keep lifting weights with mostly 300 type workouts during that time. A few months ago, at the ripe old age of 43 with lots of injuries, I joined an MMA gym. By my unofficial count, out of 200 students, there are < 10 of us...

Started 3 months ago, awesome club!

Greetings. I rarely post here but I'm pretty familiar with this topic and it sounded like fun on a boring day. I started open palm striking years ago after spraining a wrist. Personally, I found that after some time I can hit significantly hard this way. I'll admit it doesn't work (for me) with...

My willingness is high, my ability is low due to time.

Better shape than most 42 year olds. Out for 2 years.

Near Pittsburgh, pretty open to style provided the training is done with some resistance on a regular basis.

Greetings. I just moved to PA from AZ where I had an awesome garage training experience for 8 years. It was a combination of MMA and SD, we even occasionally did some weapons stuff. Theres a great MMA gym right by my work which is likely where I'll wind up, but thought I'd first look around as...

Greetings. Please do NOT hijack my thread and make it a "Krav Maga vs. other style" thread, thanks. With that out of the way, I'm looking for feedback from those that have some Krav experience under their belts. So here's a summary on me: 42 year old athletic male with a fair amount of...

Greetings. Any thoughts on this place from personal? Good or bad? I haven't trained for a couple years and am looking to get back in to it. Seems strange, but this MMA gym has a belt system. :jaw-dropping:

Greetings. Its been years since Ive been on this forum, nice to be back. Been dabbling in various MA's for about 10 years now. Most recent was sort of a hybrid of MMA/ SD in a friends garage. Havent trained in about 15 months due to an injury, and will hopefully be back into it within the next...

I found a cool article on this topic. http://www.mma-training.com/boxing/

Greetings. So I've done some training off and on in a garage with a guy thats done some kickboxing/ BJJ/ JKD (PFS)/ and a few other arts. There is a small group of us. I should make it very clear that I have no intention of becoming an MMA fighter. While our training mostly resembles MMA, we'll...

No, thats never come up. However, it's not my place, so its not really up to me. I personally think the biggest issue is unless your willing to pay for advertising, where do you advertise? I have adds like these on several boards, but thats really about it.

Thanks again Bob!!!

No worries, and not trying to make waves.

Fair enough. As an FYI, I didnt think this would be an issue, as I had seen this: http://martialtalk.com/forum/announcement.php?f=22 All For Sale or Help Wanted posts are to go in the Advertizing sections under the appropriate heading. This is free to all members.

Sorry to put this here, but I really dont know how else to resolve this issue. Does anyone know why I'd get this message when attemp[ting to post to the Pro Shop? I know my account is obviously not disabled, and I dont think (could be wrong) any special permissions are required to post there...

He Geezer, good to "see" you. Yep, we keep doing it. It's amazing to me that it's so hard to find training partners under these circumstances. At any rate, is this the seminar that Michael B. is involved with? If so, I may go. It will be easy to spot me, I'll be the guy that has no clue what...

Bump to the top for this old post.... we are once again searching out new partners.
