Spinback
Yellow Belt
Basically I'm looking for any advice you guys can give a beginner who doesn't have many resources to work with.
I live in a small town in Ontario, Canada, and MMA is basically nonexistant here. I train where I can though; I used to do a karate/jiujitsu combined class and worked to about a blue belt level there. I've also taught myself a lot of BJJ from instructional videos. I train my ground game by rolling with guys I know from my highschool's wrestling team, mostly guys who weigh about fifty pounds more than me to make up for my superior technique. For standup all I really do is point sparring, but I know there's a couple boxing clubs around here and I'm trying to find a kickboxing one to join.
Pretty much any advice or pointers is welcome-- training tips, diet ideas, online resources-- anything to help point me in the right direction. I'm not in the greatest shape right now, but I'm working on it and I shape up pretty fast. I have a very strong natural knack for fighting, and I'm really looking to complement it with the right training and techniques.
