Hey there, I am an amateur martial artist. I have aspirations of a fighting professionally, to test myself and gather experience before moving into coaching/gym ownership.
I am 25, which I know is a bit old for combat sports. I have been training off and on in various martial arts, since the age of 15. I have had 3-4 sanctioned Muay Thai fights, 2 kickboxing matches, and 1 mma fight. I also have a bluebelt in bjj. How do I go about making a real run at fighting professionally? Do I seek out a renowned mma gym? I feel as if I have to make up for lost time by not going for this earlier. I live and train in a small town in Eastern WA. Thank you for your time!
