What would be the best course of action in becoming a mixed martial arts fighter?
I want to get into MMA, like UFC and stuff like that. I have no prior experience in organized fighting. What would be some good first steps for me to take in learning how to fight mixed martial arts? Do i need to learn karate or something?
I have one question. Are you a fighter and have a dream of being the best one day? Or do you just see the money and fame? Ill tell you how I got started. I did take taekwondo when i was 9 but its not necessary. When i was 16 i started weight lifting and really got into it and bought a boxing bag and speed bag and a jump rope to train at home. I would start by doing some weight lifting so you at least have a base. Next, find local MMA gyms which will vary all over the place and dont hesitate to go into one and ask if they have a free trial. Most gyms offer anywhere from 1 week to a month free to train there to see if you like it. Be sure to let your trainer know that you are interested in competing. From there lots of gyms have there own fight teams and they should take care of the rest for you. Over time you will be able to move up in competition and bigger organizations and get your name out there. But i will tell you that guys on t.v. make it look extremely easy. You will know within the first week wether or not its what you want to pursue or not. Best of luck to you and have fun with it!

first step get into a legitimate MMA training gym and start training. Train for a couple years see where your at, and your coaches will know if your ready to fight or not. Then they’ll find you some amateur fights, and if you do very good in those, you make a pro debut, and then go from there. UFC is to MMA what NFL is to Football. Only elite level fighters make it to the UFC.

Think about what kind of fighter you would like to be. What aspect of the sport appeals to you? Answer that question, and that’s where you should begin. If you’re really into submissions, like myself, get started with Brazilian jiu-jitsu. If you really like striking, decide what type of striker you’d like to be. Choose an art like boxing, muay Thai, kickboxing, or karate and start there. If you just want to ground and pound people into oblivion, start wrestling. To become a successful mixed martial artists you’ll need to be well rounded, but it’s really important that you develop a style you’re comfortable with.
One of the best parts about MMA is the individuality. No two mixed martial artists fight exactly the same way. Everyone has their strong points and their preferences. Develop your own style, grow comfortable with your skills. That’s the best place to start.
Don’t worry about being in great shape when you get started. That will come with time. Just start training! Your fitness will develop with your skills. As your skills progress you can start to compete in grappling tournaments, boxing and kickboxing smokers, etc. When you’re comfortable, you can begin an amateur MMA career.

your most likely… what, 15. so if your still in school and have not dropped out yet, go join the wrestling team and if your done with school go join some type of combative sport mma gym, boxing gym, grapplers gym or something that involves actual fighting… screw karate or TDK, you’ll be blocking and punching for the next year while the kid in the mma class just got the advanced class to kicking your @ss… good luck.
