They say that Mixed Martial Arts can be subdivided into 4 key disciplines:
1. Jiu-Jitsu
2. Wrestling
3. Muay Thai
4. Boxing
If you were limited to train only 2 disciplines at the most, which two disciplines would you prioritize? Otherwise stated, which 2 disciplines in your opinion are the more important ones?
My answer would be Boxing and Jiujitsu. The likes of BJ Penn, Nogueira and Demian Maia are champions/ fighters at the top of their respective divisions whose arsenals are primarily just Jiujitsu and Boxing based. I think muay thai and wrestling are just secondary elements of MMA. But thats just me.

these are not elements of MMA. these are elements of GSP.

GSP= MMA personified/ MMA at its best/ MMA incarnate. |

GSP = sexy Bruce Lee's take on MMA: Kicking Range Punching Range Trapping Range Clinching Range Grappling Range that is my approach, minus the trapping range. i divide martial arts into "ranges." like medieval combat. artillery, long range weapons, cavalry, and melee combat. you can't just always storm the castle directly. you need a blend of everything. Thaiboxing take on striking: Punches beat Kicks, Knees beat Punches, Elbows beat Knees, Kicks beat Elbows. basically, you can't rely on one to win. it's a rock-paper-scissors thing. |

muay thai because of the kicks, knees, elbows and jiu jitsu for ground game.

If I had to choose only two, it would have to be Muay Thai and BJJ.

i think it really depends on what the situation dictates.
for me, if I feel to go on the offensive, I'd go for muay thai + wrestling.
for defensive mode, I'd go for BJJ and muay thai.
but really, it depends on what's going on.

yup i agree with this "resler" kung sino ka man. .  hahahah.. it really depends. . any 'art' will do, on the way the practioner applies it. . ."for me" its "being prepared" at all times. .. minsan kasi uunahan ka ng kaba. .  |

that is what makes MMA unique. the "ground and pound" as a separate entity. |

It'd be great if there were an offshoot of submission wrestling where ground and pound was allowed. that would be brutal.
