I work Ju jitsu, and kickboxing the most, but we also work a lot on positioning and how to work up against the cage and how to make sure you are protected when engaged with someone. There is a never ending amount of things to learn in this sport. I highly suggest you find a gym and get some training in before you seriously consider a fight. If you don't at least do that, make sure your cardio is through the roof for your fight. :wave Lemme know if you have any questions for me, I'd love to answer them for you!

Well I'm a league champ wrestler at 285 when I weighed 210. I box occassionally but have never taken classes for it. I was thinking about trying out Thai boxing and ju jitsu.

I want to fight at 185 in the spring, which shouldn't be too hard because there aren't hydration tests :)
