That Belgian squad had 10 players over 30 and the maximum average age of any Euro Cup 2024 team at the competition. A group-stage exit and just one goal at the World Cup put Belgium on course for a restructure.

Still, younger actors like De Bruyne’s Manchester City partner Jeremy Doku bring fresh vitality to the team. Euro Cup Germany Qualifying unbeaten with just four goals allowed from eight games was a welcome sign of accomplishment back on track under Tedesco.

2. 5 Tips To Help You Get Started In MMA Training
Joining an MMA gym can be an intimidating experience for beginners. But it can also be an
exhilarating rush to finally start training and learning. Here are five tips to help you make the most
of the experience and not look like a total noob.
Tip 1: Your Gear.
You don’t have to go out and buy all this stuff right away, but the Basic Start Up Kit is a must.
Basic Start Up Kit:
Jock Strap And Cup, don’t leave home without it.
Mouth Piece. You don’t need a fancy one, just some rubber between your teeth so that you
don’t loose them or get them chipped by an errant shoulder bump or spinning elbow to the
forehead when your fellow white belt spazzes out of a position and accidentally clips you.
I took a spinning elbow just yesterday from a white belt during Brazilian Jiu-jitsu class (he was
trying to escape the back). If you look closely, you can see the imprint of his double weave gi in my
forehead. I wasn't wearing my mouth piece... I should have. It felt like my teeth were about to
crack.
Intermediate Kit:
16 oz. Boxing Gloves for training is what I’d recommend.
Shin Guards. My favorite are the cloth shin and instep protectors that cost all of $15.00 and
you can throw them in the wash when they get stinky. Some people argue that they don’t
offer enough protection. I say, if you need that much protection, you and your partners are
going way too hard.
MMA Gloves . Nowadays they offer both the training variety and fighting gloves. The
trainers are a nice way to show your training partners you care.
Advanced Kit:
Rash Guard and Leggings. These are to protect against microbes. They put an extra barrier
between you and whatever worm, rash or creepy crawlie that might be wiggling it’s way into
your training partner’s skin. They also help protect your knees and elbows from mat burns
which create openings in your skin for said creepies to get a foothold and start setting up
shop on your body.
Kneepads. My favorites are the bubble knee pads for volleyball. They take off that extra
wear and tear from working from your knees all the time or from dropping hard, repeatedly
on a knee for your shots. I’ve experimented with applying Shoe Gu to the Asics Brand of
bubble knee pads that I like best. They increase the life span and aren’t too abraisive to your
partners if you take the time to make sure you smooth the surface before the Gu dries.
3. Some MMA gyms have equipment for sale. The basic equipment can be found at most sports stores.
You can find all kinds MMA equipment online at MMA Warehouse .
Recon
Tip 2: Research Your Potential Instructor(s).
Look them up on the internet. Take the time to learn about their background and what organization,
if any they are a part of.
While organizational affiliation doesn’t always mean that you’re dealing with an upright, credible
and helpful instructor, the lack of affiliation can sometimes be an indicator that something is
amiss.
Often times it is not, but it’s something to take note of and place in the databank for future
reference should other indicators arise down the line.
How do you know if an instructor is a good one?
Take a lesson or two and ask questions. There are about as many different ways to do a said
technique as there are instructors. The how to isn’t as important, in my opinion, as the why.
If the instructor on test drive is able to explain to you, in a way that makes sense, why you should
do what he’s instructing you to do, that’s a pretty good indicator that he/she knows what they are
talking about.
If they start looking around, or give you the, “because I told you to”. That’s another one of those,
things to put into your databank and tally up with the organizational affiliation thing at the end of
the day.
Most importantly, did the potential instructor provide you with a safe and enjoyable learning
environment?
If not, then despite what the findings were in the first set of suggestions, I’d be in a mad dash to get
out of that gym. It doesn’t matter if the instructor in question is God’s gift to MMA, if you didn’t
have a good time, or if you got the feeling that you might not last more than a week before suffering
some catastrophic injury in the environment you were in, you should get out of there.
Don’t be a sissy and drop out just because you don’t like doing a push up or two, but if you fear for
your life because you’re seeing other newbies getting tossed like cookies at cruise ship case of
food poisoning, having their heads snapped back like crash test dummies from the punches being
thrown, I’d suggest a different gym.
You’re looking to learn, have fun and increase your level of physical fitness and overall health. No jah
rah budkus about training like “Real Fighters” is going to justify the potential for injury that you will
find at a place like this. Skill will come from hours trained, and this means injury management. The
fewer the injuries, and the lower the severity of those injuries, the more mat time you’re going to
get. The more mat time you get, the better you’re going to get period.
4. Blessed is he who in the name of good will and charity, shepherds the weak through the valley of
darkness.
Tip 3: Know you’re potential training partners.
During your test drive of the MMA Gym you are looking into, try to get a read on the current
members. There is always going to be some level of snootieness going on. It’s the pecking order and
birth right of any gym.
You have to EARN the attention and respect of the seniors there… to a degree. Not being coddled by
the upper level students isn’t anything that should be raising alarms but it’s nice to find a place
where you at least get friendly vibes from these guys.
And perhaps more importantly, if the seniors are simply using you as a piece of fresh meat to be
beat on (and you wouldn’t believe how many people have come into my gym with horror stories
about this actually happening at a few different gyms in my area), that should be sending up red
flags.
Don’t try to lose 10 pounds before you go on a Diet
Tip 4: Get started now!
Don’t wait. So many people feel the need to get in shape before they get into an MMA gym. That’s
total nonsense. The MMA Gym should be the means by which you get into shape. Just be smart
about it and do it the right way. Communicate your fitness level and your limitations and don’t be
ashamed to say, “I’m reaching my breaking point.” Training, fitness and Martial Skill are an exercise
in long term dedication.
If you are so sore after your first day of training that you can’t get off the toilet, you’re probably
not going to want to subject yourself to that torment again.
Kudos to you if you are that kind of person. But otherwise, take your time and ease into your
training sessions and gradually increase the intensity level of your workouts until you get up to
speed. It’s usually only a matter of a few weeks.
It's alright to be a white belt if that's what you are. It's alright to be a white belt even when you may
be something more.
If you knew it all, you’d be teaching the class not the other way around.
Tip 5: Don’t be afraid to be a beginner.
No one likes to be a noob. But the reality of it is, you are. And that’s totally o.k.
Don’t try to impress your partners or instructors by trying to tap or knock out anything that has arms
and legs in the gym.
If you want to impress your partners and coaches, impress them by your egolessness, your
humility, your respect and your willingness to be tapped, to learn and to listen.
5. Even if you’re transplanting from a previous gym and have some prior experience, don’t go in and try
head hunting. Taking scalps and going after the seniors is only going to hurt you in the long run.
These guys are your biggest assets. They are going to show you the ropes, give you the inside scoop,
take you under their wings so to speak. Even if you can tap them out, that doesn’t mean that they
don’t have something to teach you or can’t give you something that you may have never seen
before. And how likely do you think it will be for them to go out of their way to help you after you’ve
destroyed them on their own home turf.
Relax and learn. Once you’ve proven to your fellow training partners that you’re a friend, not a foe,
that you’re there to learn and grow vs. to satisfy your ego, they’re going to help you out big
time. But if you force them into a Kill or Be Killed type of situation, they’re going to do what they
need to do to survive. And that might mean anything from simply shutting you down during your
roll, to with holding some critical piece of information that might really take your game to the next
level, because let’s face it, does anybody really want to go out of their way to make their own life
more miserable?
