Anyone training at Jacksonsmma?

Does anyone know how it is to train at JacksonsMMA if you come from Europe to train there for 3 months if you are a fighter with 16 amateur fights looking to take it to the next level?

When you look at the schedule on the website it look like it's only 2 advanced classes a week, is that correct?

Many of Jacksons famous fighters live elsewhere, how many of them actually train in Albuquerque?

They have fighter accommodation, how many people live there?

You should contact them directly. I'm sure they'd be happy to answer your questions.

I train at jacksons. The schedule on teh website is not accurate anymore.

I'll message you with the number of the general manager ricky.

Mornings are pretty much for pros. Many pros also grapple from 5-7 pm on Mondays and wednesdays. 99% of the tiem there is always someone around willing to spar and grapple.
Many of the pro fighters are there pretty much everyday.

Yeah as long as you are serious and willign to work hard you can practice in the mornings too. Whatever time you choose to go there will be pros there to work wihth.

Jacksons does have a loft for fighters coming to train. Not sure if the loft is currently full or not. Ricky is in charge of that and can let you know. If it is full he can probably hook you up with contacts for places to stay

I'm getting ready to train there, until I get good. Most of the UFC fighters that train there don't live here in albuquerque. The pro's and amateurs live here though. The website says they offer accommodations for people who wanna train there, you can live in their dorms.

Greg Jackson's Mixed Martial Arts - JacksonsMMA: @EAgear Come down and stay in our dorms $500 per month for your training and stay!

Hey i had some questions about the gym to hope you dont mind if i throw them in here. My brother is pretty serious about becoming a MMA fighter, we live in California and in our area theirs not really any MMA gyms. He wants to go train at Jacksons, and do that 500$ stay in special, but I've been calling the camp since Friday, and have gotten no answer. Do you think i could get that number you talked about earlier? Do you know anyone that stays in the dorms? How do they like it? Hows the atmosphere ? Itd be cool if you could give us a brief description of what training is like there
