I thought the movement in ninjutsu was go, ie evade then attack. But to be honest, most the moves are illegal in mma, due to fish hooks and small joint manipulation. By all means give it a go, but dont expect to carry much across.

Ok, thanks. Someone gave me the link to a Muay Thai classes in Port Talbot in an earlier post on this thread so i'll find out more about that.

Thanks again.

Thats your best bet, as mentioned the two areas you need to cover, striking - muay thai/ boxing etc. and Ground/ tie-up - BJJ/ Wrestiling/ Judo etc.

Hi James, and welcome,

Ninjitsu, like any other martial art, although not a common base for striking (kick boxing, muay thai) or ground game (BJJ, wrestling) but due to the nature of the sport (Mixed Martial Arts) anything really can be used to improve your over all gain.
I dont really have any experiance in Ninjitsu so im not sure what a training session would be but for the marines and cardio i would recommend boxing really, which also gives you a great base for moving into the cage.

Hope this helps
