I want to get into MMA but i dont want to join a school that just has bjj and muay thai i want something thats out of the ordinary . is there like karate schools that have mma matches or open mma tournaments that can get you into mma?
dude if you want to be in the sport you need to train in the sport. you can you what ever martial arts you want but you’ll need to train with people that know how to mix them up. you do not play baseball in America and train in cricket in the U.K. If you want to use karate and some other form grappling that is not BJJ then do it but you will need to other fighters or you will not ever get better
good luck in your search

ya. try learning each fighting style seperately then putting all together. thats how you should do it. who cares about those schools that teach "mma." perfect two styles then mix it up. preferably one striking style and one ground. don’t need to follow all the sheep out there.

Ok,you do realise thats realy expensive to do right? when you take MMA,you get down to the effective stuff,and cut out the amature-ism. Plus Its crosstraining and its like 250 $ Cheaper than your plan.
