best camp in the world?

what do you guys think is the best MMA gym/dojo/camp or whatever else you may call it, in the world?

That's tough to say. Are you wondering as to one that you can go train at or are you wondering what is the most prestigious camp? Either way out of both it matters what your background is and what you want to work on, etc.

in the USA you'd have to go with Team Militech simply because they have produced alot of champions ie. Tim Sylvia and Matt Hughes. they have also produced alot of other tough fighters. Worldwide you'd have to go with Chute Boxe in Brasil. they are turning out some of the toughest fighters in the world right now. you could argue for Red Devil Fight Club in Russia where Fedor trains but i think he is more of an anomaly than the product of a great fight camp.

BTT isn't bad either...

I'll be moving out in a few months and I wanted to know what was the absolute best place I could go. It sounds so far like either Miletich or American top team. I'm mostly a ground fighter with good BJJ and OK wrestling ability, although I've never trained in wrestling.

Where are you moving to? I guess that would be another factor. I wouldn't want to travel too much especially figuring the price of travel these days. If you have OK wrestling without ever having any proper training then maybe that is a strong point for you. Since you say that you are mostly a ground fighter sounds like you may want to work on striking. I'm just assuming using myself as an example. I can wrestle but I cannot strike worth ****.

Unless you are looking for a day of humilation and over the top hard training for a 'try out' I sugest you avoid the best teams unless you get an invite.

Only the top guys will end up training with Miletich or Team Quest, and if you do train most of the time you will spend making sure that the 'stars' of the teams will do well. I seriously recomend looking for guys on your level and just go train with them. Regardless of what you are trying to work on, because any team worth it's salt will work on everything.

If you have actually had a MMA fight then go train with one of your previous opponents. They are bound to know more about your strengths and weakness then anyone else and can help you more than anyone else.

I can go pretty much wherever I want because I'm going to college. I'll probably only train there for four years. I've had a couple of fights and I'm 1-1. Even though I have good takedown skills, it's mostly from brute strength and I don't know how I'd fare against someone who really knew what they were doing. I want to train in a lot of no-gi BJJ and wrestling. I don't want to waste much time on stand-up because I probably won't spend much of my time there anyway, at least if my wrestling technique improves.

Don't forget stand up. You run up against someone you can take down and don't have any stand up at all you have got some problems. Even fighters who arn't know for their striking can still throw if they have too. Fights start on their feet and even if you have great takedowns it is still better to throw a few punches and then go for a takedown. And besides their is nothing wrong with knocking someone out before you need to get the take down.

No training stand up is not a waste of time. Training in only wrestling and BJJ is a waste of time if you are planning to fight in MMA.

In the US: Miletich, Team Quest, and AMC Pankraition.

Japan: Killer Bees and Yoshida Dojo

Russia: RTT and Red Devil Fight Camp

Brazil: BTT, Chute Box, and Gracie Bara.

I'd say Danny is on the right track with this one.

i am pretty certain that Team Quest is open to anyone willing to train, i doubt that you'll get to spend any time training with Randy Couture or Dan Henderson but Team Quest is more of a standard gym than say Team Militech is. http://www.tqfc.com

cesar Gracie is'nt bad either, if your good at BJJ i think you would fit fine in there

Team Quest is a very diverse orginization. There is a general fitness gym and stuff for MMA, as well as the Eco challange Team Quest. But as for the TEAM QUEST that Lindland and Henderson train at thats like Miletich.
