I have to laugh at all these camps trying out fighetrs for there mma fight teams (even though I understand it).... What about the real camps that train the fighters from the beginning and make them superstars...SitYodTong, Team Quest, Greg Jackson, MFS, camps like these... I think thats more impressive

tbarchard,
That statement is pretty hilarious. Most of our guys are homegrown unlike the fighters from gyms you mentioned. Everyone recruits to a certain extent. We would love to get a division 1 all american in wrestling or a former kickboxing champ however that's not what we mostly get. We are looking for dedication, a fighter's heart, athleticism, and lastly skills.
Currently one of our best fighters is 8-0 with now only 1 year of training and no prior experience. This is the kind of guys we are looking for.
Any questions, just ask
Brian

Sounds like a cool opportunity for guys who are wondering if they have what it takes.
As for myself, besides being somewhat fat and having no heart, Valencia is a bit too long of a drive to make regularly. I'll spread the word though, I know a couple guys who might be interested.
Thanks....please try to keep this thread at the top for another week! TTT
