Step 6

What you want to look for in an MMA school is your skill level. You don't want to try to join a school that doesn't offer training for beginners. So, you do not want to get in over your head. To where you are getting knocked out every night. So, basically look for a school if you are a beginner if you are intermediate maybe look for a school that is not just training beginners. Do a little research on it.

Step 7

Go sit in and audit a class. Just sit in and watch a class. You do not have to participate to see if that's your style or if you could learn something from it.

Step 8

Make sure you can afford it. That is always a big deal.
