Answer 1

Find a good school in your area that teaches arts like Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai Kickboxing, or join your school's wrestling team. That is probably the best way to start since Greco-Roman and Freestyle wrestling teaches you the fundamentals of grappling and falling. Also, having a sound coach will help in get condition to take on other aspects of MMA. I started with wrestling freestyle and I added some Muay Thai in it. Cardio conditioning is key as well as strength training and proper nutrition.
