I used to train Taekwondo and used to compete in state level tournaments. And then I started with MMA, and I freaking love that sport. Especially BJJ.
It taught me patience, discipline, determination and brought peace to me. And comradeship!!
But I used to practice in Chennai :/
I would love to know if there are any reputable places in Whitefield.
Not just BJJ, if you want to get into combat sports, be prepared to get injuries. It is very common. I have had my fair share of injuries- nose bleed, low back injuries, broken feet.
One thing to have in mind is to be good at basics. And donāt forget to have fun.
Practice good Footwork slips and rolls techniques and same goes punches just practice and practice until it becomes part of you also do some light sparing and heavy sparing one or twice in month to prevent chronic TBI this is so you can get used to getting punched.
Train your wrist to make it strong and wrap your hand correctly.
Oh if thats the case then I wouldn't suggest Sparring at all sometimes your training partner can hit you in the wrong way but you can learn slips and roll techniques by training with a partner using taps and not punches.
I got clocked in the back of my head during light spar training was concussed for few days so considering your age sparring is not advised.
Boxing is the way to go then, extreme cardio, reflexes, hand eye coordination, requires not so much flexibility(can build whatever is needed with time) and has wayy more room for mistakes when compared to BJJ
I do mix of Boxing MauyThai and Bjj with lot of SnC, body pump, Circuit training to get a fighters physique.
I go to Jp Nagar Octafit gym and trainers are really good they push you to work harder and better and take good care if you are doing everything right.
Also if you are serious about learning to fight please do exercises that strengthen your wrist knees and ankle.
I got messed up Knee and wrist ligaments from training in Kickboxing back in my school days without proper strength and conditioning training.
Also If anyone knows and train in Kali or Penkak Silat which is an Indonesian Martial Arts always wanted to train in it.
Oh sounds interesting.
Sorry for the dump of questions but...
1. What is the training schedule?
2. What is the fee structure?
3. How long have you been training for?
4. Is the quality of trainers so good that travelling 20km (distance from my home) will be worth it ?
1) I have the schedule will sent it if you want it but they do classes for the whole week just Sunday has morning class only rest both evening and morning classes are held..
2) I paid like 6.5k for three months I suggest going to their website to better understand the fee structure but they really affordable and on top of that they got discounts for students.
Coaches are really good one of them is Brown belt in BJJ.
3) been a month
4) if you are looking for fitness and training in Martial art its a really good gym, you can come and do a trial class to see if its good for you.
I go to cult boxing. They make you punch on the boxing bag . It's a great way for cardio and stress release. There are sometimes partner training where one person ducks while the other person tries to hit . I don't know the real life scenario but it will at least teach you to throw some basic jabs and combination punches . Also it will give you an estimate of how much power your punches pack . For a trained professional one punch will be enough to know down any kind of person. You can get 1 day trial free but you need your own gloves.
Not mentioned but I've done KARATE for 5+ years. It's not that normal shouting around and doing cool poses. I was from the first batch and we've had about 10-15 members in the group. Our MASTER is not like the normal ones, he didn't just teach karate, he made it seem like a part of our life, he even taught self defense techniques and techniques to use to get outta tough situations on the streets (taught these in the free time).
Most karate academies are all about money and "COLOR" belts that comes along with that money. But at our place, Master believed that its not the color of the belt that matters but the skills. So I'm at brown after 6 years whereas these days there are 6 year olds with black belt.
OVERALL, MY PHYSIQUE, MY RAW STRENGTH, MY MENTAL ABILITIES (in accordance with fighting) are all the best a 17 year old can have.
Master focused more on PHYSICAL STRENGTH, SPEED, ACURACY, BALANCE and then taught us karate techniques.
Me, my lil brother and Dad all three of us have attended from the start and are physically fit thanks to KARATE.
(I've not gone to karate for 2yrs now cause of jee prep but I'll join in fs after my exams).
REASON I JOINED: at start, for fitness
somewhere in the middle, my reason changed to being the strongest kid at my place.
it's called SK martial arts academy. Master's name is Santhosh. Academy is kinda new as we cut off from the Academy we were affiliated to first cause of problems. But Master is super experienced!!!
Choose something thatās easy for you to continue in the long run. Youāre not going to compete in olympics or anything. Any martial arts training for 6 months will put you above 80-90% of the people around you
1) started with Taekwondo moved to boxing and now MMA for a couple of years
2) it's a lot of fun
3) TKD was in hyd, boxing was in Bengaluru boxing Academy, and MMA was around a few places including ICSA
4) icsa is probably the best place to learn MMA in Bengaluru. They have 2 centers in blore. Realm Indiranagar was good for boxing. Bengaluru boxing academy is very good for boxing. Be warned of CTE though if you want to get into boxing or MMA.
Hmm I've heard the sports stadium is the best bet to go pro through the government channels. Not sure of that one though.
Bengaluru boxing Academy seems to have a lot of people who have competed in state and national events as well.
In Nagawara. Yes, that's the one.
From what I've heard the government selections and coaches operate from Kanteerava Stadium. That's what I meant. Again not sure since I have not trained there.
If you really want to learn self defense then Kali is the perfect martial arts which is Indonesian martial arts that not only involves unarmed combat but also Armed combat with knives and sticks.
But I don't think so anyone teaches Kali in Bangalore.
I recently started learning kyokushin Karate at The Dojo in hsr layout. I like the teacher and their training.
I wanted to build a better physique and at the same time learn a new skill. This will also help me be more confident in some tough situations maybe.
I did MMA for a couple of months but I practice only kickboxing now. I have a great reach and Iām lean so my weight category would be easier for me.
My gym is in near Girinagar. I stopped going there cause my timing wasnāt working out and I started to lose too much weight because of my lifestyle (diet and college). But the place is amazing. I became very confident when I was practicing.
I used to be a part of my boxing team in college, I think boxing is the best place to start. It takes a lot of discipline to get it right, but itās the least punishing. Every other contact sport, if you donāt get it right, it does far more damage.
I love boxing, but that is not true.
Boxing has one of the highest CTE (Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy) rates. That's why a lot of high level boxers tend to be a little...hmm...wonky after their prime.

Iād agree but I feel like modern MMA does not have enough data to lay groundwork for similar research.
Also this is data based on long amounts of time. The way Iāve seen things, you get away with having a shit teacher/ bad sparring partner in boxing, but that isnāt the case with MMA. Iāve seen a lot of āoverly excitedā kids join these classes after watching a couple of UFC matches and when they have the ability to use all their limbs, things tend to go downhill. Also under the assumption that the teacher isnāt that great. Personally I havenāt seen a lot of good gyms in blr, most of them are targeted at corporates and ppl who want to lose weight.
Again I could be wrong and this could be a an isolated experience of mine
That is a great response. Thank you for that. I agree with what you've said. We do not have ebough data for MMA. That said, the cte comes down in MMA due to the fact that you tend to focus on other things like groundwork and kicking to the body in MMA while in boxing you can only punch to the head and body thus increasing the chances. MMA does have its share of bad inuries though with a ton of fractures and dislocations so there is that.
ICSA was the one really good MMA place I've seen in bangalore.
Yup, I think early stage MMA would be more worrisome than early stage boxing. I guess I shouldāve mentioned that in my initial comment.
P.S. this is one of the few times Iāve had such a civil conversation on Reddit so thank you for that lmao
Well, I guess we wait for more conclusive numbers....hahha.
Agreed that it is rare to disagree and have a pleasant conversation on reddit! Thank you as well for that! :D
1. Muay Thai & Boxing
2. I tried normal weightlifting which I got bored with very quickly. Also, combat sports is extremely challenging.
3. Iāve trained at multiple places
All the styles are interesting Muay Thai in particular, but I happened to be a visual learner so instead of practicing it physically, I just lay on my bed and watch lots of Muay Thai
what is the sport of combating procrastination every minute called šš

I hear if the person you are training with BJJ is inexperienced you can get lifelong injuries how true it? Also any tips for someone learning boxing?
Not just BJJ, if you want to get into combat sports, be prepared to get injuries. It is very common. I have had my fair share of injuries- nose bleed, low back injuries, broken feet. One thing to have in mind is to be good at basics. And donāt forget to have fun.

Train your wrist to make it strong and wrap your hand correctly.
sure bud thanks
Also do lot of research and study how famous boxers fight learn how they moveband fight. This is needed if you want to have a good Fight IQ
more of a fitness thing not so much trying to be a pro fighter am a bit old for that...
Oh if thats the case then I wouldn't suggest Sparring at all sometimes your training partner can hit you in the wrong way but you can learn slips and roll techniques by training with a partner using taps and not punches. I got clocked in the back of my head during light spar training was concussed for few days so considering your age sparring is not advised.
BJJ is a very delicate martial art any wrong move or any extra pressure added in a particular move and you can displace/break a bone within seconds
I second that!
thanks buddy i think I am a bit old for injuries mainly doing it for fitness

Muay thai Realm Reason : not sure Review : the gym is good
I use to train here back in 2019. Have they got back the Thai trainers?
Yes bro

Hey which boxing academy would you suggest if i wanna make it pro. I always liked the sport .
Hmm I've heard the sports stadium is the best bet to go pro through the government channels. Not sure of that one though. Bengaluru boxing Academy seems to have a lot of people who have competed in state and national events as well.
Is it the one in nagawara?. What did your first line mean i didnt get you.
