I am at school in lock haven, PA.I live in New Jersey. does anybody know were i can get started off around Lock Haven? Thanks http://www.mmarecruiter.com/index.php?do=/forum/becoming-a-fighter-28/need-a-gym/ Sat, 16 Feb 2013 22:13:26 +0000 Nick Bonavito http://www.mmarecruiter.com/index.php?do=/forum/becoming-a-fighter-28/becoming-a-fighter-my-first-steps/
A two weeks ago I decided to become serious about it and hopefully make a career out of this(And as every young and upcoming practitioner hope to make it to the UFC.). I have no wrestling backround and boxed at a boxing gym for a few weeks five years ago.

I am currently attending PHX BJJ and MMA academy who is associated with the Lab(Benson Hendersons gym) and now with Caio Terra 6X BJJ Champ. Which I have been attending morning bjj no gi-gi-open mat class every day now with the exclusion of sunday because they are not open.

Since my Cardio(has improved) isn't the best, I will be starting at a crossfit gym next door, because I hear adding crossfit to your training regime is a killer combination(I believe Jason mcdonald does crossfit also and is in great shape). I will be taking Kickboxing classes along with my BJJ(Which incorpriates Judo throws and wrestling all into the class) So I could have a Base.



So I will be working with mUAY tHAi, Boxing, Bjj/wrestling and Crossfit along with two MMA classes a week at a different gym(Siege MMA, unless my Gym starts to offer core MMA classes) along with 3 private lessons a month with each coach to go over some of my moves and make sure everything is running smooth.. And I have been researching the basics of nutritions and have a good hang on my diet now(very clean cut diet for two months.)


I am 17, 200 pounds, 6'2 and would classify as a meseomorph in body type.(African american if anyone must know.)


Could anyone throw me some constructive advice on how to improve my gameplan for training so I can squeeze it for what it's worth?

I will be entering the upcoming BJJ tourney to get used to being infront of a crowd. And am basically focusing the majority of my training towards strength and extreeme cardio, so my conditioning can make up for my lack of skill since I don't have that ''All American High school wrestler'' backround or a big stiker.. Atheleticism seems to be my best friend..


Like I said, constructive advice would be greatly appreciated.]]> http://www.mmarecruiter.com/index.php?do=/forum/becoming-a-fighter-28/becoming-a-fighter-my-first-steps/ Sun, 10 Feb 2013 06:00:38 +0000 Christian Davis http://www.mmarecruiter.com/index.php?do=/forum/becoming-a-fighter-28/are-you-an-amateur-fighter-looking-for-a-clothing-sponsor/

As an amateur, how much money can I expect per fight? (I know by definition, amateur means unpaid, but everyone I know who fights say they get paid for it)

Are there win/submission/ko bonuses at amateur?

How do I go about obtaining sponsors as a first time fighter?

What would be a good promotion within 100 miles of Chicago to start out in?
