I had a bit..a small bit of kick boxing training along with some judo in the military. It is no secret that a high percentage of fights end up on the
ground, so it is important to be sure to get some ground fighting experience.
Think it over, unless it is a standing knockout or one retreats..it will end up on the ground.
The kick boxing training was when my oldest grandson was in high school..amnd I drove him a couple nights each week, about 45 miles into
Pennsylvania to train with a great Sensei . I trained along with him.
Then he trained more, and when in the USMC, he was an instructor in same. Fact is almost all Spec-Ops troops are well versed in MMA.
