Hey

Joined a MMA club last week and i love it, thought i would join a forum with like minded people and hopefully pick up some good tips along the way!

So my names Chris, im 23 and from Bristol. Always have been in to fitness from an early age, mainly rugby.

I have purchased a few bits an bobs from mmauniverse.com, looking into buying some focus pads, any recommendations?

Thanks guys

Welcome. The rugby will help massively with your takedowns. As for the focus mits, you can do with the reeboks ones and theyre pretty cheap compared to most. Just make sure they have a cure in the pad, not a flat surface, as it helps with the contact(your hand wont slide off the pad if slighlty off and end up with a pulled elbow)
