Academy Of Mixed Martial Arts
How does one become a Mixed Martial Artist?
Not a professional one like the ones in UFC. I just simply mean, a mixed martial artist. A karate blackbelt doesn’t mean that he/she is a professional martial artist, right? So, anyways, how do you become one? Do you need to go to an MMA dojo/academy/school/whatever or could you become a mixed martial artist even when you just take up BJJ, Muay Thai, and Aikido on the same time for less than a year (say, 2 months)? Even when you’re a white belt in all of the Martial Arts that you went in?
And can you call/consider yourself a “rookie MMAer” when you just took up different styles on the same time without being a professional rookie MMAer?
COULD YOU PLEASE READ THE ADDITIONAL DESCRIPTIONS BEFORE POSTING…the second poster is a feakin SPAMMER!
Sorry, I didn’t mean the second poster now. There was a second poster some time ago and I bet he got his answer deleted.
Learn more than one martial art.
Anybody who combines techniques from more than one discipline is performing a mixed martial art.
