UFC

[Tifa]

Ok, so for the longest of time, ever since I was like 6, I have trained in several differnt types of martial arts. My parents first introduced me to Karate. Im now a Black belt, and expert in karate, judo, im a 2nd degree senior level in Sambo, as well as 2nd dan in Krav Maga. And im currently trying to finish Aikido, but my Teacher doesnt think im old enough, and just started in eskrima type fighting style as well. Ive been fairly certain that Ive wanted to join the UFC for the longest of time, As well as that, I dont know if UFC would be enough. Id one day like to prove, and show how excelled I am at these different arts. Legally speaking UFC is my only option, so idk. Also, I dont know how old id have to be to qualify for UFC. Im 15 right now.

well, UFC is cool, but my wreslting coach told me a story of one of his wreslters(who is on our school's wrestling board of fame) that he went into UFC and when he was around 35, he looked older than 45, just because of all the fights. also if you want to become a UFC fighter, you would most likely need to own a combat fighting gym, because unless you are one of the top 5 fighters, you won't make shit. most UFC fighters live off the gyms they own.
TBH, the body guard idea isn't that bad. I mean, who suspects a girl(sorry for being sexist) to be able to kick ass/kill someone if needed.
But if you really want to kick ass on tv, become a stunt combat instructor. so you basically are a stunt double for fights/teach actors how to do the movies properly.
there are job places for people with combat skills, though they may be anything from bodyguards, professional fighters, law enforcement, TV, and stunts.
or you could be a self defense instructor. Yea, i have looked into this for multiple reasons(like if i take up other combats styles later on)

Yeah I get all that, but its kinda like my ultimate dream from when I was a little girl just starting karate, to be like one of the best fighters on the planet.

i know that feeling. My ultimate dream(one of a couple):become an Olympic Gold Medalist in freestly/greco wreslting. Here is all i can say, just practice hard, try and get into a MMA gym, and try to go to a couple MMA tournaments, yes they exist, not the same rules as UFC, but still.

Practice hard? lol. Ive been practicing since I was 6.

[batwomr.smithshane]

Lol go for it you dont need a gym just get a trainer to introduce you to a fighter in ufc and try to get him to sponsor you in a fight

[Castle of Glass]

practice hard isn't just training, its also going to tournaments. I mean, one of my coaches became a BJJ black belt in, a bit over 3 years of training. not because of practice, but because he competed. Also, get your endurance up. You may be able to do one style a long time, but mix it up. Also, i highly suggest you learn to wrestle. yes i know you think its a waste, but it can help you. though you do Sambo(if i remember correctly), wrestling will help very much if you are on the ground. also BJJ. thai boxing. some of those if you already don't study them.

gyms help because a lot of fighters in the UFC own gyms where they teach.

[batwomr.smithshane]

Sure but if she finds one that will help her and sponsor her then she is set

[Castle of Glass]

Sure but if she finds one that will help her and sponsor her then she is set

of course. but i mean, in all honesty, if you are a UFC fighter and a person comes up to you asking to be sponsored, i would say no. But lets say that said person comes to my gym regularly, kicks butt, and works hard, then I would go and ask said person to fight. But if she manages to get a sponsor then she is set.

[batwomr.smithshane]

Then she should join one or maybe one of her instructors would helo then she donediddlydone and on her way to ufc

[Castle of Glass]

yea. Unless her instructors in other martial arts know any UFC fighters or stuff like that, then going to the gym is the best idea.

that now reminds me...
