    Hi guys

    I have a smilar thread in the MMA forum, but thought i'd post here too. I Am thinking of taking up some form of martial arts or MMA. I am at complete beginner stage.

    just wondering what would people suggest to take up? Also, were can i do it and how much would classes cost. i'm living in ranelagh, so anything around cc or d6 area. i'm a member of Raw Condition gym on south richmond st - there is some MMA, BJJ and caopeira classes there - does anybody know if they're any good, or what levels they're at?

    I'm currently doing weight training three days a week, and also play 5 a side once a week. I would like something that i can fit in with this fairly well. would MMA or martial arts training have much have a negative impact on the weights in terms of recovery etc?

    Thanks

    Your best bet is to shop around, visit each dojo/dojang, watch training and ask questions. Often free or discounted introductory training sessions are offered, which allows you to sample the MA/MMA, as well as to observe the quality of instructors.
