My first MMA match - Page 2

Jinro is a sick baller, most succesful foreigner sc2 player in korea. And before you bash it, go f urself :D

Sick schedule and fight! Gl in the future!

FA, this is very impressive. keep it up

how much did khan bet on you

very cool and congratulations. most people dont have the balls to pursue hobbies and intersets

your stand up fight need to improve, you should go for ground fight attempts all the time. even in those boxing gloves submissions are possible

Great stuff Jon, if you want help with flexibility, Kelly Starrett is amazing:

Intro:


Mobility work-out of the day 1-365. I didn't have the discipline to just do them every day (it takes like 3 minutes every day) but I'm sure you do:

btw, sick balls to try this out, i'm more muscular than you and scared to even try.

But just a question... if i understand correctly, you are in GSP's weight class?

you are right for sure, sadly my skillset is a little backwards xD
Bjj >>> takedown defense >> striking >= takedowns

Amateur fights are usually same day weigh in which means you can't cut that much weight.

So if you do an amateur fight at welterweight, your real weight is more similar to a professional lightweight.

For example, Gsp will dehydrate and diet down to 77 kg tfor the weigh in, then rehydrate and eat, sleep, eat more and when he enters the cage to fight he will be something like maybe 82-84 kg. Whereas I was probably around 78 maybe.

If I ever get that far, like to pro level, the plan is to bulk up to legit welterweight size.

Tbh for just a year of training you're quite good. Feels like you weren't sure what you should do in some spots as if you lack confidence, guessing you were over-thinking too much ?

I dont understand a boxing gloves MMA event, kind of kills half the possible stuff you could do w your hands...

even in those boxing gloves submissions are possible

Cmon,... You have to be 30x better than the other guy to submit him wearing boxing gloves...

Never new TianYuan was Frozen Arbiter/Jinro. So sick

I'd estimatr close to 1/3 of the matches ended in submission.

Hm I dont think I was overthinking, more like under thinking? I think everything but very basic stuff went out the window.

I think it was a good learning experience for how I should train next time, because I can see what did stick.

And the lack confidence thing is more to do with me having a tendency to be very passive. Striking is super un natural to me for some reason, but you should have seen me half a year ago, even worse haha

I'm gonna check it out for sure. I just had a wonderful moment where I strained something in my hip while moving around while sleeping lol... thats how awesome my hip flex is :D

That's weird, you have no grab power whatsoever w boxing gloves, you d have to be forced to kind of apply pressure with your fists and use your inner part of elbows as hooks. Well i guess it doesn't affect chokes & stuff like that in some situations, but still

Hm you can actually close your grip pretty ok... Stuff like kimuras definitely work. The biggest obstacle I think is that it's much harder to get your now gigantic gloved hand into and out of positions :D

Cool stuff man, seems like if you gassed its definitely because of nerves / being stiff when not necessary, I'm sure you'll be way calmer in your next fight. You got a nice jab too.

There is a decent chance he is 30x better on the ground than a striker, so shuffling on the ground could bring us to victory here.

TianYuan your upper spine is bend forward way too much most of the time, causing you to lose proper body center of mass, so your jabs are alot less powerfull. Your legs movement is decent, you just practise more to get your legs + body spin abit more involved in your punches.

I was told I should have about a 70/30 split of weight front and back leg, but I guess I did it wrong if im bending my back ><

And ye, maybe not 30 times better on ground but striking level im near the bottom of the guys from my gym who compete, and bjj level im near the top.

Hey one last question.

When you said "I'm also gonna add some muscle for next time, I've been cutting for a long time just to get rid of all the fat, now its time to build up a bit "

Isn't it normally easier to do the opposite? bulk first, and then cut? That's what i'm currently doing (but not for mma reasons )

nice post man


enjoyed the fight, hope you continue on and do some more (upload plz) glgl getting better

maybe? But I was cutting to get into the 77kg division, so it wasn't done for its own sake.

I dont know much about anything related to weight training haha
