How difficult is training MMA verses BJJ ?
I’ve trained Gi Bjj for about 1.5 years now and I’m not saying I’m good but I definitely think I have more of an understanding, especially against people same skill level / untrained. I train 4-5x a week for BJJ.
Im thinking about starting MMA- I have 0 striking experience, never been into a fight, and have only trained in the gi for BJJ. I was wondering how difficult training MMA is like compared to BJJ. The first around 5-6 months of BJJ were like hell for me, which I’m okay with but what I’m wondering if I should expect the same for MMA - or if it’s a bit easier to pick up or even harder to?
Follow up question- at what point can I expect to get to where I am now at BJJ doing MMA, assuming I train the same amount of days / sessions per week ?
