MAs & Pumpin' Iron~

[Sachet]

Thank you to HockeyFighter, Cesaro & DOGGx0 for participating in the last Ironlife eZine question <3
I just submitted the article tonight, so globalmma will be represented in the Nov eZine.


This is the next question.. due 10/27
I can take up to 5 responses from G~mma for this one.

Which Martial Art{s} do you practice?
Many people involved with Martial Arts do not weight train~
Do you think people who lift weights {in addition to their MA training} have the edge over those who don't? Why or why not.

1. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and no-gi grappling, Judo, and Muay Thai

2. Yes I believe people that weight train have an edge over those that do not. Most people that weight train have an overall higher level of fitness. If two people are equal in skill and size, I'd definately give the edge to the person who weight trains.

[DOGGx0]

1. BJJ (Gi & No-Gi), Kickboxing, Boxing, Wrestling
2. It depends on how much weight training they do and how much they actually train. If its to be Mr. Muscle Man, then I personally think its a bad idea, due to being limited in movement and flexability. However, I do think it is nessasary to an extent. It depends on how much you train too..... if you're training 4-6 hours a day, its not entirely nessasary because you are working those muscles hard regardless.



Looking forward to the articles. You wanna post a link here when they're done?

Yep, work on Greco Roman wrestling and you'll find muscles you never had :yuck:
