I've been in aikido for 2~3 years and I'm 4th kyu.

What years do you think you have wait to have the first dan and a good level of your martial art?

I got my 1st Dan in TKD in two years, but in hindsight all that meant was I had the hyung memorized and could break boards.

I like the age and time requirements some BJJ schools/organizations implement. There were several black belts at my TKD school that were aged 10-12 and that never really say well with me.

Well with BJJ Your purple is ore like your black in other arts (not my words). Dans are awarded after time not after achieving milestones.
I think that system is retarded as well, I much prefer the Russian system of you get your title based on what sort of competition you're fighting at or Japanese

Something that really helped me quite fast was just getting to know your weapon. Most of them all use sensors nowadays. Being able to know to the exact angle and to the exact amount of thrust it takes to score on your opponents made scoring so much easier on me. I now know how to angle my blade to score hits and not just glance off their helmet mesh or slide off their shirt, and it's stepped my offensive game up massively. And I don't mean more lunging or riposte drills. I just mean general sword handling and stuff, Swordsmanship shit.

Also spend at least 15 minutes a day getting familiar with your blade. You should be aware of its length and how to precisely manipulate its tip. This message was typed with my epee.

judo reffing is notoriously bad. One reason why i am trying my hardest to get my reffing cert. However MMA reffing and judging is rather bad. Would love to go to LA and do Herb Deans and John Mcarthy's reffing and judging classes. I think you pay $400 bucks for 2 months of classes at the end you get certified as a legal MMA judge/ref for the states of California and Nevada.

Funny, I train escrima, and some dude who started recently and has a Muay Thai back ground said the same..

It's probably because you have to move bigger distances to escape/attack with a stick.

Thus said, I'm definately think that I have to take up boxing at some point, because FMA alone doesn't give you the edge you get in Boxing. It's often way to "technical" and too far from what is realistically doable in a full speed sparring. But it's still a good martial art.

I'd definitely agree with that, but I also think there's that "oh shit!" element that forces you to move faster in order to avoid pain and more serious injury. I've found that after years of sparring, my sense of urgency has been dulled a little bit, so I think this has served to reintroduce me to that.

I know what you mean about the high focus on technique, but I don't think the skills are unacheivable in full speed sparring. At first I was having trouble applying even the most basic Kali techniques against my friend, but after a few sessions I've managed to make some gradual progress. I think it's just a matter of actually trying to apply them and allowing yourself to fail a few hundred times before you get it.

Yeah, it depends.

I think FMA is a little bit like BJJ, because the stuff you actually need for "the street" (for whatever that means) take maybe 1 year to learn. After that you only learn how to counter other guys with your knowledge. And counters against that. And so on.

Not saying it's not worth it, your basics will of course get better with every year of trianing, but to manage a disarm in sparring is very difficult, even after years. Your best bet "on the streets" is to give him severe pain (i.e. a good connecting punch) and disarm him when he doesn't expect it. But a single disarm without proper set up? No way that would work that easily.

>how long have you been training?
if you want to count my strip mall karate classes so I could be a power ranger? over 20 years

if you want to count my actual serious training, 12 years of pretty much daily training except for time off during injuries. I actually started up very heavily with boxing/kickboxing and consider them my strongest base skill set.
I have a black belt in karate from a..yes..legitimate school. That took me some time because I started in high school and would train when at home from college on vacations and got it after college when I could devote more time.
While at college over the course of the 4 years I got a black belt in TKD which overall was super shitty as far as training style goes, but I will say I did pick up some useful tools working with them.
Currently I have recently joined up at a Judo club that is IBJJF certified and I am working towards a black belt in both disciplines, but I am still very much a beginner with them

Wrestler here: technique is super important in wrestling.

Yes, a yoked up fucking ubermensch will probably ruin your day if you have equal experience and technical ability, but I've seen guys who I wrestled with who didn't spend a day outside of specific off season training sessions in the weight room destroy guys who were "bigger".

>While wrestling is all brute strength and muscle with no technique

Lol. Do me a favor, find a really strong guy and a really good wrestler who isn't necessarily big as fuck.

Have the really strong guy try a fireman's carry or high crotch on the wrestler.

And then come back and tell us how hard the wrestler sprawled the strong guys face into the ground, and then how hard he cross face anchored, and then took his back and went for a control/pinning combination.

I think I'm gunna go ahead and supplement my 2 x 1 hour sessions of kickboxing a week with 1 or 2 x 2 hour sessions of BJJ per week seeing as i get to spar in kickboxing and also the BJJ teacher is a higher grade than the guys who teach the MMA class.
