Im 16 and i want to compete in any form of mma is that possible??

Question

where do i go

what do i do

how old do u have to be????????????????????

Answer 1

im a brown belt in brazilian jiu jitsu, and trust me, no matter how well you fight, if you dont have at least a purple belt in jiu jitsu, you're gonna get ripped apart.

and you have to be 18. so tough luck haha

Answer 2

i think you're old enough to start training. start seaching your local gyms, or boxing arenas and look for classes. they'll work your butt off in work outs and show you the moves. try looking online. the gym i go to is called FairTex in San Francisco, but i'm not sure if it's a national gym.

Answer 3

you don't

you have to wait till your 18 to be in a full MMA match

you can find a gym or some place, pick up sparring sessions

maybe some exhibition matches but there gunna have a lot of extra rules added to them(i had one just 2 extra rules that come to mind no elbows to the head, no kicks above the ribs)

16...its kind of young and no offense i could be wrong but i doubt your the next BJ Penn or anything

you need solid stand up, at least a year of Muay Thai, or some kick boxing, on top of that you want some wrestling experience if you don't have any, and you are going to want Ju Jitsu experience, more then a year

if you walk into even an exhibition match with less then 6 months experience, be prepared to get walked all over
