Hey,
Like sambo is alot like judo and jujutsu is almost like Judo and sambo the three are close.
They are different though, and different for many reasons. You'll see as you study.
Boxing and Mt are alike, Wrestling is diffrent yet effective and when submissions are added most look like Jujutsu submissions and are easy to pick up since my grappling back ground.
Again they may be similar, but they are different and very different for a good number of reasons. People spent their whole lives making them different.
And again Escrima is diffrent then all of them though but i have a master of Escrima that gos to my judo school and we have clinics for stick fighting clinics, I am going to one tommorrow
You're not going to master any art through clinics shuffled in with other arts, especially eskrima. What style of Eskrima does your "master" classmate practice? By calling himself a master, he must have some creds, what are they?
So what some people are slower at learning i learn hard fast and link of fighting all day. You might just do it for fun , This is my way of life One day ill prove my self on UFC and show the world...... Tito and bob are going down.....
Who do you compare yourself to when you say "some people"? Would that be the local heat in your town? You might need to see the world a bit to really be able to compare yourself to others realistically.
Also, the UFC is one thing, mastery is another. Few of the people who fight in it would even consider themselves masters, especially at a list the size you plopped down for yourself. You might want to add grammar to that list as well, if you intend to be clearly understood.
To be a master of Judo or Jujitsu involves not only technique, but healing, the same for some Eskrima. Does your eskrima "master" do that too? Will you learn it? Did you even know about that? To be a master of Judo also requires study in Japan at the Kodokan. Are you ready to go?
Some of us on the forum have fought or taught MA for a living. so before you go there, learn a little about your audience otherwise you'll seem doltish.
I would say that you're right, for the most part, that age doesn't really matter. Aside from some actual time in training requirements by particular systems, age is often negotiable. But often the accoutrements of age do matter. For instance, living on your own instead of with Mommy and/or Daddy, having a full time job, having an education, having had to sacrifice things that matter for things that matter more, and the list goes on. All of these things are part of mastery, because they are the framework of your life. All of your techniques will be applied within that framework. Make sure you're not confusing being a "technique collector", with mastery. They aren't the same.
One thing about tournaments, like the UFC. They prove you have some fighting skill, but for the most part they just prove that you can fight and maybe win in a tournament.
I do admire your resolve. If you can achieve your goal legitimately, then you truly will be remarkable. I hope that "Tito" and "bob" are quivering in their spandex from the fear of ultimately meeting their competitive demise at your eventual face off. Best of luck.
