Good to know

Do I need experience to start training MMA?
No, most MMA gyms run beginner classes that cover striking and grappling fundamentals before anyone spars live. Expect the first few weeks to focus on stance, basic strikes, and takedown defense rather than full-contact sparring.

How much does an MMA gym membership cost?
Monthly membership typically runs $100-200, though it varies by region and whether the price includes both striking and grappling classes. Some gyms charge extra for open mat time or private coaching.
