Thread: Where do I go from here? (Advice)

Hi guys, I'm a newbie here so I'm not sure if this is posting in the right place...

I'm 20, 5'4 and 10st 4. I've been doing MMA for about 9 months but would like to get more in to cross training in pure arts (if that makes sense) I'd like to train in boxing, and BJJ and use the skills I learn in both to put together in my MMA sessions and of course in future MMA fights.

I have always enjoyed boxing despite being small, I enjoy boxing against people with longer reaches and trying to get inside, land my shots then jab away. I know that I'm pretty heavy to fight at 5'4 but I was wondering if you could give me some advice on how to keep my weight? I'm not very lean so I was thinking of training to get leaner and then see how much I weigh and adjust accordingly? What do you think?

I'm also still trying to find a club so any advice would be appreciated

Cheers

Sounds like you know what you wont and even how to achieve it, stick with it and all the pieces will come together. find out your %body-fat and work towards a good maintainable level from which you could then work from. look up some fighters you like and see what there % body-fat is for on and off season weight, it should be a good indication of what to aim for.
