I WANNA START TRAINING a MMA but WHICH ONE?

I would like to train some kind of mma like judo, kickboxing or just boxing. But I’m not sure which on or if I should train someone thing else. I’m about 5’11 and 160 pounds. So does anybody have any tips or suggestions?

    You mean you want to train in a martial art, not a MMA.
    So read this:

    When you decide to begin training in martial art you have some questions you have to answer for yourself. Are you looking for a sport to play, an art to dedicate a lifetime to, or a quick fix method of self defence? Some combination of that perhaps? Most of us are, or were all three at times. Where do your priorities lie? You must first decide martial art , or fighting sport. The two are worlds apart, although they overlap in several areas, their mindset, and intent are opposite. You have to know also what is available to you. If you have Uechi-Ryu, and Bak Mei in your area, wanting to do TKD would not help you. Of the available options you must decide which one(s) interest you. Then you have to decide (take your time, it’s important) which available instruction is the one for you. You can change or quit if you don’t like it, but better to stay with the program right through (providing the program is a good one) for the best training. Style-hopping has in my experience cost many a martial artist their potential, so choose wisely, nobody here can tell you what to do for you. So do your homework well. Talk to instructors and students, watch classes, take ‘free introductory’ classes, make your decision. One more thing, good luck

    I don’t understand your question. Do you want to do one martial art or Mixed Martial Arts?

    MMA is an all in one training. It teaches you how to fight both on your feet and on the ground. However if you’re looking to learn one discipline I would go with Muay Thai or Karate. Good Luck to you !

    boxing is good, but kickboxing proves to be more well rounded if you aren’t the quickest guy in the world… BBJ and wrestling/judo would be good as well to look into

    You can afford to get hit in the head. Your already a dumbass. MMA (Mixed Martial Arts), meaning using more than one disapline of Martial Arts.

    Train Muay Thai and BJJ togther. Seach Muay Thai vs. any stand up disapline. Muay Thai normally wins. BJJ in the best ground fighting system in the world. Find school that will mix in some American Wrestling with the BJJ.
