If you want to join the fastest growing sport in the world, you're far from the first. Also don't think that wearing MMA apparel makes you a fighter. We have some tips to get a good start off to MMA training and be a success at it.
Sign up for Training.
Search your town for the most successful club to train at and sign up. Find out who the top fighters are there and try to train with them as much as possible, but stay humble to your abilities.
Make sure you find a club that trains specifically in mixed martial arts. All the other martial art disciplines are nice, but alone they won't win a fight.
Visit a Local Event
The adrenalin rush that you got from watching the UFC probably gave you the idea to start Mixed-martial arts. Visit an amateur event in your area to get an idea of what the level of competition is like.
You will be fighting in an event similar to this. Take note of the abilities of each fighter to get an idea of how hard you're going to need to train.
Pick a Fight.
An event will come to somewhere in your area and you need to sign up for a fight. Some clubs that train require you to be fairly assertive in getting a fight. Show your will and pick the fight. Now is your chance to see how strong you can be. Remember that feeling of watching the UFC and the adrenalin rush.
These tips will get you started in MMA. They sound obvious, but many would-be fighters wouldn't be would-be's if they'd taken a chance instead of being gutless. Your opportunity is now. Utilize quality programs outside of your club to get the best training you possibly can. A complete strength and conditioning program is of utmost importance.
