Hello bullshido users,
I'm a 15 year old aspiring MMA practitioner, I have been doing it since I was 12,my gym (legion 13) has recently discovered my ability to grapple they asked me if i could start competing in BJJ only, They told me my training would be free but I have to attend 6 sessions of BJJ per week.I was really happy to have this opportunity so I recently competed in the 155 pound (70 kg) division for the state Brazilian jiujitsu championship and attained gold,now my gym has asked me to compete in the international pan Pacific championship which is great.But do you think I can give up MMA until i'm older and get a base in BJJ first or do MMA exclusively e.g(Rory Macdonald,Carlos Condit,Chris Leben).I don't wan't to be a jack off all trades or a one dimensional submission specialist.What would you do in my situation?
heres a link to my gym timetable:
