Zujitsuka
Blue Belt
Good day all. I'm fairly new to cross-training. I recently started training in Western Boxing, and Judo. My past training has been in an eclectic form of Jujutsu (stand-up).
Eventually, I'd like to compete in small competitions to test my skills. I'll be 33-years-old in February, and I am a family man with a busy work schedule, so I am not expecting to be able to compete on the elite level or anything like that. However, I need to know what I can do, and what I can't do by competing against other well conditioned, trained fighters. I DO NOT want to be walking around with a false sense of security of the effectiveness of my skills, so I feel that I must test myself in these type of events.
I know that everyone's work ethic and physical abilities are very different, but just to get an idea of how to formulate a realistic gameplan for attaining my goals, I'd like to pose the following questions to you MMA guys:
1- How many times per week do you usually train?
2- How many hours per day?
3- Before competing, how long did you get formal training in these styles?
(a) Western Boxing
(b) Muay Thai
(c) Grappling
Thank you all so much for your insight.
Regards,
