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.
