Brian F answer is point on. I've spent two years inThailand and the Thai men are very short, but they hold no problems delivering fatal leg strikes, elbows and punches.
I have my Black Belt contained by Jui Jitsu too and between the two sports I would have to vote that BJJ is the more effective of the two for short guys.
You should hold a open mind to adjectives aspects of martial arts the more you know the more decisive fighter you will become. Boxing, Muay Thai, BJJ and Kempo are newly a foudation. Learn to strike properly, learn to grapple and revise to submit, you can't know too much.
Good luck Senor Cheese.
Sounds like you've already made up your mind. But remember Thai nation are short, and don't seem to own a problem doing Muay Thai. You can always start one immediately and try another later. I've be doing Muay Thai for over 20 years now, and greco-roman wrestling for 10 years. I lone have more or less 3 years in BJJ, but I similar to it.
Both! it's a perfect combination!
bear care,
I agree next to the both answer. Size is not an issue. As already mentioned most Thai fighters are not tall.
The physical question is; Do you want to train your striking and your body conditioning and lack of complaint?
or
Do you want to train a more 'thinking- strategy' art that relies more on techincal ability than on power.
unsurprisingly standing verse ground is also something else to consider.
I construe it would be better to train in BJJ if you are short and stocky because if you are stocky it method that you will fight guys that are possibly much taller consequently you because you are thick. Both of the arts create great fighters. I deliberate if want to learn how to of late fight next take muay thai if you want to be within competition then pilfer BJJ
size means zilch.start in muay thai and cross train beside bjj.
i got 4 dan surrounded by jujitsu.but i dont know about muay thai.within jujitsu y learn adjectives of things which exsist in judo.also further more some stony technics 4 street engagement especially 4 hand braking.
some technices 2 shut others up.
Bottom line- it isn't the art- it is the student, practioner, or educationalist. You can have a exceptionally good system, but if the student cannot do the art, it isn't any fitting. If you have a angelic student and the art in't any good- you won't have a well-mannered result. All forms of martial art enjoy benefit. Have you ever thought of learning Filipino or Indonesian warring arts? The emphisis in these arts is not making your body a weapon but making the weapon you already are more sharp. That money you are not making your legs able to nick full force kicks and person able to obtain hit in the stomach and be capable of sustain the damage, Rather it is study how not to be hit. In Muay Thai there is plentifully of leg conditioning and body conditioning. In BJJ or Jujustsu there is greatly of grappling and joint manipulation. But, it isn't street orient. While you are grappling with someone , their buddies can be kicking you surrounded by the ribs while you are busy on the ground. Learn an art that works standing or on the ground or with multiple opponent. That was my choice 37 years ago and at 56 I am as limber as i be when I was 20. Try JKD, Modern Arnis, Kali, or Silat. Muay Thai fighters are retired after 5 years of competition do their knees are shot.
Depends on what your goal is. If you're training to compete, start MT and cross train near BJJ. If you're training to defend yourself within street situations, I'd go straight for BJJ. 90% of adjectives fights finishing up on the ground and you're gonna wanna know what you're doing once you get down here. I'd still cross train though. Those two together make a complete warrior.
Hey man,
That's a good press and the same exact put somebody through the mill I was face with a year ago. I couldn't afford both so I have to choose just one...any Muay Thai or BJJ.
It so worked out that I ended up taking both, luckily, and a year subsequently I'm still taking BJJ, but not Muay Thai currently.
The combination of the two is just going on for the best self defense out there.
Good luck!
I surface combining both arts is a great thing. Muay Thai is a great striking art and jujitsu is absolutely the best grappling art out there. If you hold the finances to support both arts you should do it. If not you should pick the one you are more interested in.
In my evaluation muay thai is better because in jui jitsu you are simply focusing on one peron when you fight beacause you mostly warfare on the ground but with muay thai you could row more than one person like mad easier. You could always nick both that would seem approaching a good combination.

When i shifting dojos should i be expected to start wager on at white belt after 17 years of training?
Answers:
Seeing as you have to ask this cross-question yes probably...lol...
No seriously depending on how long it has be since you left your concluding dojo. If it's been a few years than you should probably agree to your new sensei know and he should probably permit you attend a few sessions and closely watch you to see if you know or remember adequate from your stated rank.
If it's be a few days or even months than he will probably just question paper you to see if you know it or if you just put on a belt to look cool.
I would suggest if it is recent and you are still competent to contact your previous sensei/dojo ask them for a letter stating your years as a associate of the dojo and your rank. Although the modern sensei may test you anyways.
If it is a fresh style than yes you will. If you watch UFC listen when they settle about the fighters style or training you'll here commonly that a guy is a world champion wrestler or Judo competitor and a pallid belt in Jujitsu.
NO...you should know how to take tryout and prove your ability. Unless you hold not been training for a while at adjectives. Kata's are a good process to impress upon your new sensei of your aptitude
That depends on the instructor. It also depends on the style. If you are changing styles, yes. I would ask the instructor what his policy is and hold out for him to evaluate your skill and tell you what he think. He will respect this and be more likely to permit you keep your station.
It depends. Is it the exact same style? If not, you might have to start rear at white unless your instructor tells you otherwise. Fear not though, since you'll most promising be able to grasp everything far sooner (or even instantly) than other students, so you'll probably rise through the ranks at a much faster gait.
But why care, though? A belt is only just to keep your gi tight. ;)
freshly concentrateon what ur doing now. he will attain there
No, but you should be humble adequate to start where the master deem your skills are. Obviously if you are a black belt then you are going to stay a black belt since its agreed by the federation (if its an actual black belt). But dont be suprized if he wants you to cram his own "niche" in the university.
Also... you can go beside your old Dobak or Gi and belt ONLY if nearby is no old university insignia on it... That is not respectful of the new academy. Ask ahead of time or bring an blank Dobak or Gi.
I dont think so. When I did it spinal column then, adjectives I had to do be take the test, and perform the kata and from at hand they should decide if you progress back to a belt beneath your previous one, or do you stay at your belt. Sometimes you go highly developed. Depends on your performance. Train tough!
No, you shouldn't. when you change, step in beside your old uniform and belt.
depends on the style. If you are shifting styles then yes. If you are going from a crap reworked copy of the style like wtf TKD to a legit tkd university or your 17 years was dried up in XMA after you really don't know more than a white belt, actually you probably know smaller quantity than an untrained fighter if you own had such crappy training for 17 years.
Generally you should be given some consideration so long as your skills are at hand and it is the same system.
Most possible. If you are changing styles later you should expect to start over. If you are not changing styles their still may be some category adjustment as rank is really solely applicable in your own university. Rank varies so greatly from conservatory to school that it really lacks any true plan.
Rank is only moral for organization in your own school.
If you do start over do not be discouraged, after adjectives, do you train for rank or to upgrade yourself? If your new academy says you must be a white belt, will you quit training because of the footing
No your instructor should be able to asses your talent if it's a new discipline to you, if it's matching kind of discipline, later it should still apply to what you've already learned, it's not in the region of what rank you enjoy, but what you already know and can bring to the class.
but as it was also mentioned you should be humble adequate to accept where on earth you are placed but it may not be much lower than your current rank
but it is up to the instructor to produce that decision as to how far your progression is at your current class and where you should be surrounded by the newer schools horizontal of rank.
Wow, a indisputable question, congratulations. Seriously, this is a honest question, within contrast to the usual repetitive questions asked here.
The answer depends on the dojo and your training. I enjoy always offered to put on a white belt, and hold had one surrounded by my bag. Since belts are incompletely assigned for safety reason, ie a higher ranking entity is responsible for the safety of the lower ranking being they are doing an exercise with, later putting a relatively experienced and potentially dangerous character in a white belt absolve them from any responsibility or care-taking. My attitude is fine, give me what belt you want me to keep, because I am from a traditional background where on earth if I have a white belt and I am sparing or exercising next to a higher condition, then I am to do the best I can to hit that character. On the other hand, if I own a student, and the main dojo at the national smooth says put him/her within a white belt. then I will enter the personage in a tourney at the crucial dojo, and let them contract with it. For sanctuary reasons, fitting instructors let the soul wear their belt and help the personage come up to speed, or until they can test for footing (if the person can't shelter the belt they are wearing then within is another safety issue, and they want to be tested for rank for safekeeping reasons). I have see the Japanese test race and give them brownbelts, but never a blackbelt. They come across to figure it is a humility article, and usually will give them their blackbelts backbone in a few months.
Unfortunately, not a clear answer but the best that I can come up beside.
It all depends on the instructor. If it's within teh same branch that you have a belt within, say, you enjoy a red belt in Tae Kwon Do and move, but you still travel to a TKD school, you should basically have to lift a test. Of course, if you shift from TKD to something like Judo, you want to learn that style, but still, if an instructor within the same branch that you hold a belt within REQUIRES you to start over, just don't purloin it, find another dojo.
That depends entirely upon what you have academic in those 17 years of training. Since you are asking this examine my inclination as an instructor would be to hand you a white belt, but I would ask you more question first.
Is it right that a police officer with 15 years on the force saunter into a martial arts institution with no former training be given a station other than white? What if duplicate class has a 16 year behind the times black belt? What if that 16 year old have been training (truly) for 8 years to bring back there? What if a 20 year behind the times came surrounded by with no experience, but have great natural skill and the proper mental, touching and spiritual attitudes of a true martial artist? Who truly deserves to wear white or something "more" than white?
Do you see starting pay for at white belt as a negative article? why? It's a new naissance, a new flight, a clean slate . . .
Why are you varying dojos?
I could continue this for pretty a long time, but something tells me that this is a lesson you will want to ponder on your own for a while to settle upon an answer that works for you.
If you are moving to a different school later yes. If you are simply moving to a different branch of the same university (affiliate school of branch conservatory, run from a central leading business headquarters) then usually your standing and training are transferable, your current instr5uctor would just ahve to label the arrangements with the noew professor, but that sort of circumstance us rare. Even instructors, it they dance to a different school, or a differnt style hold to start over. They can still use their ranking from their old system, but the are also considered to be the lower quality in the different system as well. For example a black belt within Karate is still a black belt in Karate, but when he begin training in an other style, similar to Judo, he has to also call for himself a white belt in judu when he starts. AND susually the former ranking don't transport any weight surrounded by the new academy.
As an instructor myself, if somone comes to me from one of the affiliate schools surrounded by the style I teach, they can retain their former place, if someone comes from another style, then they own to start over, in the untried ranking system.
Definetly not. You be able to enter at equal grade you where on earth at your last dojo
