Can you train Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu?

While you can do both Muay Thai and BJJ at the same time when starting, it doesn’t allow the extra time for extra training which can help safeguard you against injury. It also doesn’t allow you to train more sessions of just one martial art which will help you get better faster.

Should you start with Muay Thai or Jiu Jitsu?

Muay Thai fighters have the ability to end a fight from the start because of their deadly striking. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is great for self-defense because you can safely submit your opponent with something like a “rear naked choke” which won’t cause any long-term effect to them (useful for random street/bar fights).

Is BJJ harder than Muay Thai?

I would say that BJJ would be difficult because you have to learn a lot of grappling techniques and it can be really difficult to see what spot you grab your opponent by. In Muay Thai, it’s really easy because you get to see someone display the moves.

How often should I train Muay Thai and BJJ?

If you train BJJ three times a week, you should train Muay thai three times a week too, right after BJJ. Both styles need daily attention. Emphasize one over the other. You can’t master both at the same time.

Should I take BJJ or boxing?

I would recommend boxing, because it is much easier to learn. You can actually become a good boxer in less than a year… if you have the right training. BJJ is far more technical, and it could take years before you become effective at it. Boxing would also help you get in shape faster.
