A good place to learn technique online?

Question

I took MMA at a really good gym for about 4 months but because of ever rising gas prices and the fact that the guy I went with doesn't go anymore so I can't carpool, the 40 minute trip is too hard on my wallet now.

I've been keeping up and doing "garage training" but the only problem is that I don't learn anything new. I'm pretty good at Jiu-Jitsu and have learned a bunch from www.grapplersguide.com, but I need a site that is kinda like that for wrestling or Muay Thai. I'm really lacking at learning to do takedowns.

Any suggestions. Grapplers Guide was kind of under the radar so I'm hoping that maybe there are some more like that.

Answer 4

save up some cash and get Duke Roufus' full contact kickboxing and muay thai videos...they are top notch. take you from beginner stuff like stance and movement, to punches and punch defense, kicks and defense, elbows and defense, knees and defense...all the way to ring strategy and those little tidbits that make alot of difference. also he shows the proper way to use thai equipment (most people do it wrong) and how to get the most out of you training time...they really are excellent videos.

for jujutsu i recommend mario sperry's vale tudo series' ...excellent, no fluff, no nonsense, just how to "smash him" to quote mario.

at any rate...go to http://www.groundfighter.com they have a bunch of excellent videos from jujutsu, sambo, catch wrestling (a very unique perspective!!) wrestling, muay thai. top notch instructional vids that actually TEACH.

as for video clips...others have listed sites. but they wont teach you in a progressive manner.

Answer 5

I would highly recommend the 'bas rutten mma workout tapes and video'.

And a heavy bag...

OK, they won't be much good for learning proper technique ( you can find online videos for that here: http://muaythai.me/basic_techniques.php and here: http://muaythai.me/basictechniques2.php ), but the bas rutten tapes will give you some very demanding workouts. You can shadow box with them, but it is better to work the bag, and there are some fitness workouts too that mix bag work with body weight exercise.

They're not a free resource (though a lot of people download them illegally off limewire or other filesharing networks), but they are they are worth every penny they cost.

I know professional mixed martial artists who use them when travelling, which is commendation enough
