I've been training in an MMA class for about a year and a half. I only go a couple of times a week and it's mostly been for fun and some regular exercise. I've found however that I really enjoy the jiu jitsu and have begun competing in local tournaments. I've won 1 and lost 2 of the three tourneys I've competed in. I'm going to continue to compete (hopefully once a month) and now I need to get serious about my fitness, both strength and cardio. I'm looking for some other people with the same interests who I can trade strategies with and hold accountable.

Thanks Ninerbuff. That's actually really helpful (esp the part about forearm strength. I could have used that for my match yesterday).
Anyone else training for grappling (either no-gi or gi) and want to keep in touch?0 -
Anything that builds you core. I also used to find being a smaller chick (compared to the boys) I relied on leg strength. I couldn't ever out wrestle the boys , but I was very hard to submit and could get on top of most of the newer students , even when giving up 20-30 kilos. I agree on the forearm strength. I believe you use your whole body as part of a chain and you need it tight. Also in class you want to be practising drills.... A lot. Good luck, I miss that stuff lol0
