Hi Guys, was wondering if it'll be worth it to learn MMA just to keep fit? but if it's like 300 bucks per month, then it really turns me down. What do you guys think?

Yup.. it's true. Like i train in MMA and submission grappling also for fitness, as a hobby.. not to fight pro..

The thing is, I'm not in shape and just thought of picking up mma as a sport, because I'm pretty interesting in watching UFC. Hope that having the interest will convert to having to heart to train, you know what I mean? What do you guys think, shall I sign up at BXG for their muai thai lessons? Evolve is more for people who already know mma...

none. The local media authority don't see the appeal in two grown up men fighting in a cage.

Don't mind me saying this, TayJiaWei, but are you dumb or are you simply a drone who is trying to create dissent in the MMA Community. Check the forums and despite the low traffic, you will find tons of other thread on MMA Gyms. 10 out of 10 times, the advice given is to go down for a trial and feel for yourself. You come onto the forums and asked such a question. What kind of answer do you expect?

"Oh! Join FWA, the best MMA Gym!"
"Oh Join Evolve! Top MMA Gym with Champion instructors!"
"Oh Join FightG! They are the first MMA Gym in Singapore!"

Go through the threads and you will realise that most of the time, answers like this will lead to conflicts. Unwanted conflicts between the gyms. Gym A hates Gym B. Gym B hates Gym C. I can quote you at least 3 threads where mmasg or myself or some other members have said; "Go down for the trial and feel for yourself."

I really hope that your question is genuine and not made out to create dissent.. anyway you should have done a check on the forums before popping such a question to begin with.

It'll be best if you are really able to have the time. Don't get into a situation whereby you've joined and is paying monthly but don't have the time to train. This is what is happening to me...

Doesn't really matter what he got. It's a matter of time management.
