How do you get started in Mass?

JFragment · 09-14-2005, 01:37 PM

Hi Guys,

How do you get started in MMA? I've been in the martial arts for a few years (kung fu) but would like to compete a bit at "my level". How do you get started? Local Scrimmages?

Any info would be awesome. I know it's a pretty vauge question. I did a bunch of searching on the forum but couldn't find a kind of "Start up" guide to getting into MMA. Any help would rock.

Thanks,

Jay

This is dead serious and im not trying to bash you or your kung fu....

But I would seriously consider doing some MMA practice before fighting... even if it only lets you know whats coming at you...

with that said.... if you go to a local MMA place.. they usually have grappling tournaments... mma fights... things like that posted up all the time, I know my school does... the school I was at before I never heard of anything this place is holding its own tournaments... and has like 4 others posted up right now.

That's great info. Thanks!

I am heading over to a local BJJ school for the trial week to see if I enjoy that as well as the Kung Fu. I would like to look into it and possibly compete a year from now so I definitely have my work cut out for me. Thanks again for the response.
