I have been trained in a multitude of martial arts till i was 16; none of them grappling or takedown. But personal issues kept me away and now 6 years later, i have too much pride and feel I am too old to work in traditional class, at least to start. Besides, i wanna practice at an accelerated rate.
So my question is, will a personal trainer be able to teach all the basic and advanced techniques 1 on 1? And should I find a multitude of opponents in like, rec fighting or should i go straight into tournanments (and prolly get my ass kicked.)?
