Training in a cage or ring?

[Louis Ho]

If you could only have access to one or the other, would you rather have access to a cage or a ring?

Cage
So if u get into the ufc or any other promotion with em u can be used to wall walking and keeping em up against it and not getting put up against it

[Brent Smith]

I would say cage. I don have a good reason but it seems like it would be better

[Frank Royet]

In my opinion it's way better to go with the cage considering it's a JJ/MMA Gym and not a boxing or kickboxing gym you are running... you can train boxing and Kickboxing in a cage with the only exception of not being able to practice corner escapes... But if somebody trains Grappling or MMA in the ring he would be a fish out of water in a cage fight...The ring is perfect for pro boxing or pro kickboxing training but who would go to a MMA gym to become a pro Boxer/Kickboxer? the ring makes no sense to me.

[Mario Lopez Alvarez]

It's kind of like Gi vs No Gi, lol. Which one are you going to fight in? If your fighters want to make it to the big time, that means the UFC, and that means an Octagon.

[Sam Bergeron]

Amateur fights in Quebec are always in a ring though...

[Evan Coy]

The cage has its ups and downs. Practicing like you play is important, but I feel like you get more injuries training in a cage. Most all promotions at this point have one, so if someone at your school is fighting mma, it's good to get some time in one. Fingers and toes and ears get caught and it can not be much fun at times. You can get some padded walls to practice wall walking and wall related drills. That's a tough call the more I think about it. Good question.

Cage so i can practice using it as a tool.

[Louis Ho]

My issue is that I will probably be moving to a slightly larger location. And I mean slightly. I am debating whether to just keep it all mat space OR add a small cage somewhere OR add a ring OR add a ring and also some cage panels alongside the mats OR a larger rectangular caged area that wouldn't really compromise space. Any thoughts?

smaller cage deffinetly man! Deffinetly!
