I participated in tournaments and added in pieces to my game while working up to amateur MMA fights. By the time I stepped into the cage as an amateur I was already at purple belt level so I only needed enough wrestling to get guys to the ground where they would eventually drown. If I had jumped in on day one training "MMA," (like most of the guys I fought as an amateur) I wouldn't be anywhere near the fighter I've become. It's too general, you miss all of the "little things" when you don't dedicate the time to each discipline.
