1. DEFINE YOUR GOALS – CONT’D
That said, Rew of Awakening Fighters shared that signing up at a training camp can be done
as often as possible - regardless of ability and the length of training time. If you are a
beginner, it’s best to select camps that focus on the fundamentals of MMA. If you are a
beginner, it is highly advised to not start by signing up for a professional training course as
you would have a very difficult time to keep up and likely to injure yourself. More
importantly, before starting professional training you need to learn basic and fundamental
techniques without which you will not be able to master advanced moves. We recommend
you to try out a beginner friendly training camp like Super Pro’s 1 week MMA & Muay Thai
training instead.
Should you be training MMA for a while and ready to take that leap to become a complete
MMA fighter, Roberto of Fightbook MMA has some insights to share with you. He explained
that the skills and techniques required to be a complete fighter can be gained if you
continuously practice and evolve with the sport. You can be great in MMA moves such as
striking, grappling, boxing, defense, and ground game, but if you don’t practice them and just
focus on one thing, then you will lack in your ability in other techniques. That’s why, as a
professional fighter you would most benefit from training camps that focus on different
martial arts disciplines and broadening your fighting skills.
