Hey everyone

I need some help regarding forearm pain which I get consistently after every session. I have tried many things to reduce it such as balms, cbd balms, massage guns, thai linements, stretching before and after session, deep tissue massages, everything.

The pain I experience is like a sharp pain deep inside my forearms which sometimes spreads to my biceps. It hurts a lot and I lose my ability to even train. Last session we drilled some positional sparring and I jerked on my opponents lapel and instantly had the shooting pains so I stopped. I then got pummelled and I couldn’t even push the guy off my arm was in so much pain. It sucked.

Any advice would be great. No sarcasm please.

I train Monday/Tuesday/Thursday. But I would like to train more when I’m able!

Thanks everyone. I am also going to see a doctor on Monday, but I am concerned they may just say ‘rest and take ibuprofen..’

Olá, galera tudo bem? Faz 5 meses que estou treinando em particular com o meu mestre e umas das coisas que mais está afetando não só o meu treino mas também minha relação com o mestre é que ele fala fala e fala e eu não executo o que ele fala, piora quando é execução sequencial de golpes. Nas primeiras vezes quando é dado uma sequencia eu acerto, mas conforme vai passando o tempo eu começo a errar.

Eu sei que quero acertar, eu escuto ele, mas parece que as vezes demoro para processar a informação, as vezes me pego fazendo no modo automático como se estivesse viajando na maionese. Piora mais ainda quando eu começo a ficar muito cansado pq eu começo até a abaixar a guarda... nas palavras dele "Cara ou vc tem problema ou vc ta me sacaneando, problema eu sei que vc n tem, pq vc é um cara inteligente". E sinceramente eu já deveria estar mais para frente, porém eu não sei oq tá acontecendo cmg!

Nos primeiro 3 meses eu estava indo bem e cansava menos mas agr n estou tendo tanta eficiencia mental e física! O que está acontencendo COMIGO meu Deus!? Alguém já passou por algo semelhante?

I’m new to the area, looking for a solid Muay Thai gym, open to BJJ and Boxing as well. Or if anyone knows or a must go to school in one of these cities.

I’ve got a background in Karate and a little Muay Thai, a little Jiu Jitsu but nothing special in any one of them.

In my research StrongStyle has come up so I may check that out, but it seems like a straight mma gym (not opposed to this) not sure how specialized things are.

Any options for someone with not much money for a gym membership, that wants to get into MMA?

I know what you’re thinking, but to clarify my idea is that the moment they try to pick you up and slam you, that should be your opportunity to pick them up and slam them.

Everyone has seen the spazzy trial guy come in and try to defend a choke by picking someone up, imo it’s the higher belts responsibility to let go and not get slammed HOWEVER I think they should then retaliate by attempting to slam the free trial white belt from any position possible

What do you think

Hi guys,

I am looking for some info on the type of sword fighting used as well as the pros and cons of thrusting from that particular chambered position in the time linked video.

I haven't any experience in weapon based martial arts or forms but it seems quite different to the standard Olympic fencing stance.

You see guys, I have been doing martial arts since I was around 8 and taking it seriously since 13. At 15 my goal became to do mma as I saw it as a really cool, effective sport where I would be able to use my wrestling, kicking, grappling and boxing abilities all in one. I was also training my muscles but specifically for fighting. Basically my whole objective was to be in good shape and prepared for fighting, that what kept me motivated and disciplined. Not only that I had problems with fighting and aggression and I really wanted to chanel it somewhere where it would be usefull.

During the whole 2024 moved to the capital in the country where I live in, found a really good mma gym, trained my ass of there everyday, I admit I was a bit irresponsible at the beginning with studies cuz I got way to focused into mma but then I corrected that. I made really good pals in there including my coach, hangout with them and they where telling that I am really good and should start competing SOMETHING THAT I REALLY WANTED. First the opponents weren't there, then the event was canceled then I got an injury over which my whole family got mad.

And I thought maybe I should stop mma, but then I realized my life without fighting and training from purpose of being strong and capable of facing adversaries made me stressed and at times depressed, I tried to train for the purpose of being fit but as I trained I realized that its pointless, I don't want to do that, it makes no sense to me cuz I only trained for the purpose of being able to be a fighter a real warrior as everybody called me at times.

Now at a point where I am losing something really important for me and I don't want that, I don't feel great about no matter how I try to think about it. My gf said that she is okay with me training mma even though she doesn't like when I am bruised, as long as I can manage the balance between evrything.

I post this here for an advice and posible guidance because I don't what to do with it, because I feel myself more aggressive and evil since I stopped mma, the way I was kinda before.

I'm in the military but don't have a martial arts background (beyond the BS self defense taught in basic). I recently saw a recruitment video posted by a really elite unit in my country where the candidates were doing Krav Maga sparring with foam headgear, pads and whatnot

I've already been considering picking up MA to learn to spar but I was quite surprised afterward finding out that Krav Maga is not considered a serious MA. Hence I would like to ask: Do most gyms teaching KM approach it from a 'self-defense for everyday people' angle or a 'to spar' angle? If I find a gym teaching KM and which spars regularly, would I still be better off selecting another martial art?

My goal is to learn a practical, sparring-focused MMA

So I’m planning on getting braces soon and I have pretty crooked teeth.. I know it’s a long journey but I wan to keep doing martial arts. I do mma but I’m ok with doing bjj but I would still like to spar. Does anyone have any experience doing martial arts with braces?.. if so how did it effect you? Any tips and details on your story would be great.

Good day everyone, it's me again the kyokushin white belt who asked how to gain 10kg fast. I now understand that gaining 10 kg in a month is stupid. On one of our training in preparation for the tournament we spar hard, I got kicked in the ribs and now after 5 days my left ribs still hurt should I withdraw or I can just ignore it since it's not that bad?

Khamzat is undefeated and smesh EVERYBODY

Whereas Jon jones is ufc goat of all time

Who wins? Find out next time on ufc 😎 (parody of find out next time on dragon ball z, notice how they rhyme 😂😂😂🤣)

I think khamzat has better finishing skill but jones is of the more experience having defeated all chael great champions such as Daniel cormer, Cael sonnel, or Anthony smith to name a few

Also I know there’s size is different but consider that khamzat is a bit of a weight bully and Jon jones used to fight at light heavyweight, so if you think about it they’re not far from the same size. Especially since khamzat is in his prime and Jon jones is thinking about retiring

I am a motherfucking nerd, but I'm a nerd that can fight lol

I know there is plenty out there but are extremely hard to come by. I would like to learn the techniques of plains Indians like the Cherokee , Commanche , Apache or the techniques of the Tlinqits the type of Indian I am. All I could really find was okichitaw and guided chaos/ ki Chuan do hybrid martial art system that has Native American ground kicking.

Also in old movies there is plenty of what's supposed to be native Americans fighting techniques but people didn't really care about martial arts back then. And some of the techniques look similar To Judo and akido and wrestling surprisingly.

i want to do martial arts but my middle finger doesn't really bend all the way, should i still able to wear gloves and throw punches?

So i started mma because I always wanted to start it one day and i love it, I trained kickboxing for six years previously and i tried my best to always leave ego at home before training. But in mma when we do bjj and wrestling or lets just say grappling overall where it's normal for me to be bad and get schooled cause i just started it, again i'm feeling down and self doubting myself and i'm being too hard on myself and similar things, so i wanted to ask for advice how to overcome it, i'm trying to leave ego before entering the mat, and if anyone had or is going trough similar stuff i would really appreciate if you could share advice how to overcome this or where to start to overcome it, thank you.

I’m looking to get into martial arts specifically Japanese jiu jutsu wing chun and Brazilian jiu jutsu my local dojo teaches all of them I am a 5ft 9inch male that weighs 282 pounds my question is can I learn them properly at my weight and when I slim down planning on getting back to my old weight 150lbs will I have to relearn or retrain the techniques I learned at my heavier weight to have them work or executed properly with proper form at my target 150lb weight

Lately I saw that apparently in kyokushin championships if you want you can use mma gloves (adapted to kyokushin) and some helmets similar to those used in amateur boxing, it is more used in junior categories but I was thinking, if they have this equipment why don't they take advantage and create a category where you can punch people in the face, I think kyokushin would have a good evolution, being able to have both methods, with punches to the face and without face punches

sometimes you just dont have the money, or there are no good gyms near you.

id do muay thai, wrestling, and boxing.
