Question

How does a fighter get into a mma training camp is ther like a scout do you pay for the training.?

Answer 1

You're gonna have to look around if you want to find a fighting camp. I managed to find mine that way.

If you're really cant find one, then find a few fighters in your area and ask them where they train and if they're looking for new fighters. That should help you out.

Answer 2

Some of the staff that guarded inmates, where my Dad was a counselor, worked out at a camp.  They were in need of sparring partners, so they were happy to hear that a martial artist right out of high school was ready to come work out with them.  Almost everybody in that business are really good to people who have a good work ethic and they'll help you in all sorts of stuff in martial arts and your personal life.

Another group  I worked out with I just met at the gym.  They were working the mats and I was doing a spinning (fixed bike) class.  I saw them fighting and asked if they could show me some moves.  They were more than happy to let me work out with them.

As far as getting into a dojo that would eventually lead to prize fights or a show like the Ultimate Fighter, they usually hold open try outs.  Typically those places have all have websites.  You'll need some video of your workouts and a brief resume and maybe a referral to get recognized.  You might also try your local YMCA wrestling and boxing clubs to get their opinions too.

Answer 3

Attend the events.

Note the clubs that represent the fighters that you like.

Start training

Or, just attend open events and see how well you do. Yes, promoters often attend events and do scout for entertaining participants.
