2. DO YOUR RESEARCH

If you happen to already be training in other martial arts disciplines, you probably would already know just how important spending time to research options truly is. For example, our panel of experts unanimously agree that just because a training camp happens to be run by MMA‘ stars’ or popular fighters, doesn’ t make it automatically a great option. Travis of Evolved MMA stated it best“ I think the best MMA camps are driven by a team of experienced coaches and fighters. Just because a certain brand or name is associated with something doesn ' t mean it is good”.
As highlighted on our recent Pro MMA Now post“ How to Choose the Right MMA Martial Arts Training Camp”, when it comes to MMA, choosing the right training camp can also be a lot like choosing a life partner. It’ s not really about how perfect they are, it’ s more about how they are perfect for you. So, rather than being‘ blinded’ by a camp’ s glitz and glamor when considering your options, choose to‘ dig’ deeper and be on the look out for these top five factors instead:
1.
Qualifications of trainers and training program
2.
Class size & atmosphere
3.
Facilities & equipment
4.
Price
5.
Location
