Hi! I’ve decided to take my father and two sisters to visit Georgia namely Tbilisi. We have an early arrival around 05:15 am and check-in around 15:00 at hotel.
Wanted to ask if there is a place/location we can calmly spend some time or even an activity to undertake prior to check-in around those hours?
Wanted to ask for an advice: M 31, no martial arts background of any sort and no sport background as well (not counting chess). Recently discovered the world of MMA and actually was surprised by depth and variety of this sport. Started watching and decided to try to approach it.
I started taking BJJ classes, private lessons no-gi, already doing it for 3+ months, was pretty hard and exhausting to do proper warm-up first but now it’s much easier. But most importantly I enjoy it. Started taking group sessions as well, however it’s gi. Have to remind myself that in this type of sport you progress only through sparrings.
I have a good job and obviously I do not covet to become even close to professional fighter and afford private lessons if it’s required (doubt that I can), however, It is important to be good at everything that I undertake somewhat seriously. I do want to try MMA and want the “prudent” path (I want to have a proper base to start), so my questions are:
Will it be overwhelming/redundant to do at start no-gi and gi at the same time?
What striking discipline will be the most beneficial to undertake? I was thinking about Muay Thai
Am I overthinking and should just sign up for MMA straight up? (As I said I really want to have at least some sort of fundament)
