I tossed my traditional style training (Shotokan and TKD) out the window when I continued to get murdered by MMA fighters during friendly sparring. ***It's not as if I was undertrained or had poor training; I won multiple championships on several WKF TKD circuits.***
After that, I busted open a new pair of Fairtex gloves and never looked back. I kind of ended up just melding into Muay Thai/Boxing, but I specifically chose to begin studying Submission Wrestling as a counter to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. It allows me enough room to study/apply BJJ techniques myself, but I can bring the fight back up to my feet more easily, where I'm more comfortable.
