Anyone on here train in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu? Recently got my purple belt and wondering if its worth entering into MMA competitions? Done a few Jiu Jitsu competition's but feel like I'll still be at a disadvantage in MMA as not had much experience in striking.


Your best bet would be joining a MMA gym & talking to the coaches there tbh. They are best placed to advise & see where your strength & weaknesses are & giving you a session plan to improve things you may need to work on. A fundamental base in striking & striking defence to a good level is a must in my opinion (& every coach I've ever spoken to!) however.

I had several fights in Mma a couple of years back & absolutely loved it. I had a black belt in judo & a brown in BJJ before I started training but learnt so much in around 18 months training at a proper MMA gym doing kickboxing & striking mixed in with grappling/judo/bbj stuff.
