Frank,

Not sure if it is unusual, but I would imagine it’s really tough to do. Getting instructors who are BJJ blackbelts and certified to teach Muay Thai is tough (guessing). I would keep looking. I would recommend joining the best out of the choices as long as there is no contract involved. Once something better comes up, join it.

Thanks for the input, I’ve been looking at gyms over the past two weeks and really haven’t found one that seems to stick out for me. I want one that focuses primarily on BJJ, while some Muay Thai. I’ve come across either one or the other, but none that seem to incorporate both. Is this unusual?

Indeed a good point. My school is very balanced when it comes to BJJ and Muay Thai. Though I know of other schools, like you said focus primarily on one or the other. So yes, be aware of the gym’s focus.

Thanks for your input MMA News.

I think another thing you should mention is the type of fighting style, there are some MMA schools only dedicated to teaching BJJ and Muay Thai while others are more kick boxing oriented.

Very good tips. Getting on board with a trainer who is well versed in MMA or certain aspects of MMA will help you immensely.
