Comments on: how hard is mma to "get used to"? http://www.nwbia.com/boxing-fitness-classes/how-hard-is-mma-to-get-used-to Inside Boxing Classes Today Wed, 27 Jul 2011 14:00:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: djanderson18 http://www.nwbia.com/boxing-fitness-classes/how-hard-is-mma-to-get-used-to/comment-page-1#comment-1778 djanderson18 Fri, 19 Mar 2010 08:41:59 +0000 http://www.nwbia.com/boxing-fitness-classes/how-hard-is-mma-to-get-used-to#comment-1778 If your looking to just do dirty boxing it shouldn't take long. But if your talking full blown MMA sparring with take downs now you may be talking about a whole different time frame. Unless you have some sort of wrestling/judo/BJJ background, the take downs and ground game will probably confuse you for a good while. However if your doing it for fitness, I'd say go for it, as it will do nothing but help your cardio. Edit: If it is full takedowns, then yeah it'll be hard to get used to at first, and the ground game can confuse some people. But the more mat time you get the more you start to piece things together. Everyone is different, you may be a natural and not even know it, but then again you could be completely lost. But expanding your game can be fun and your cardio and lung strength will improve greatly (the first time you get in a good side control or mounted you'll understand) and if you still box you'll see a big difference in your stamina and how fast you get fatigued. So again, nothing but good will come of it. Just watch out for elbows if you have a fight looming. Have fun.<br><b>References : </b><br> If your looking to just do dirty boxing it shouldn’t take long.

Varies from fighter to fighter. Each person learns new skills at different rates. For you, it would depend on how quickly you are able to adapt, and the only way to know is to go out and try it.<br><b>References : </b><br> It depends. Varies from fighter to fighter.
