Tips and Equipment

The Path to Becoming an MMA Fighter

● A Mixed-Martial-Arts (M.M.A.) fighter fights in a cage or octagon, or a boxing ring. The fighter wins by knocking out, or putting the opponent in a submission hold by which the opponent gives up, or "taps".

● The route to becoming an MMA Fighter is very straight forward and difficult too.

TO Start With….

● Find a place to learn how to be a fighter.

● It doesn't have to be any fancy town.

● Most world champions have worked out in garages and gyms.

Know your natural Strength

● If you are an explosive power puncher, concentrate more on attacking.

● If you have previous wrestling experience from your school or college days, focus on your ground skills.

Be Smart!

● To avoid knockouts in case you think you do not have a solid chin, take your time and work more on your ground skills and do not look for the knockouts.

● Similarly, if your opponent can’t land power punches and not a striker, you may go forward and attack
