How do you get in MMA?

Answer 1

start training at a gym, learn muay thai and brazilian jiu jitsu, maybe some judo, wrestling, get you *** kicked a few times and than sign up for a tournament. Thats what i did anyway.

Answer 2

This is a pretty open ended question. If you mean how do you get into training MMA, the answer is relatively simple, find a good MMA gym in your area. If you don't have one, find a good kickboxing gym and a good jiujitsu place.

Ideally most MMAers have a background in one style already, then they add other styles as they decide to get into it.

If you mean how do you get into the whole scene, such as how to get fights and all that then there are also a ton of options out there depending on where you live. There are a ton of small shows that will allow amateurs to fight, and will allow you to build yourself up that way, it is just a matter of finding the promoters.

Certain forums have promoters asking for fighters for small shows all the time in various areas.

Check out mma.tv's "The Underground" forum, there is a lot of good information and contacts you can get from there, including a ton of Pro MMA fighters posting on there, promoters are constantly looking for fighters there.

The bonus is that if you are good enough you can generally get picked up by a good gym that will help you out, and now with things like the IFL it is very possible to make a living doing MMA now, albeit those opportunities are few and far between.

It all depends on what part of the country you are in. There are some great promotions in the midwest, as well as California, Jersey, Florida and Georgia.

Key is finding a good gym first, training in the sport, and getting in shape to do it.

Hope that is of some help.
