The premiere camps to join here are Team Punishment and Team Chute Boxe, all other camps are just victims waiting to get gound n' pounded by our camps, we train together and will help eachother flourish why we tear apart all these other camps.

So for all New recruits and fighters looking for camps, your best bet is Team Chute Boxe or Team Punishment, if you join elsewhere have fun getting ran by us.

Team Punishment & Team Chute Boxe Running things...

if you train together, why are you guys two different camps? that just sound stupid. what happens when you guys fight each other?

Well either way, your gonna pretty good whether your in these camps or not.... Its up to you to choose whether those beatings come from a fight, or a practice. We aren't here to candy coat and go soft, so if you want to worry about getting bruised up, messign up or hair, or chippign the paint off your newly painted black fingernails, i dont think our camps are for you!

Never seen 2 friends fight in the cage before, that is just the nature of it. Why does Jardien still fight i nhis weightclass even though his training partner is the champ?

you all are missing the point. if you train together, you are one camp. why do you have two separate camps if you train together. that is why i'm saying its stupid. i dont really care b/c i'm ps3 but it is stupid. you shoud be called team chute boxe punishment.

Doing it this way, there are pro's and con's. Both camps are evidently not huge camps, it is easy to see who is active and who is not, it is easier to fidn partners to train with when you have a big camp. Obviously we can practice as if we were big camps, but we dont have to deal with a flood of members. I myself like that benefit of it, but I only speak for myself.

You do know that you can play matches against people from all around the world, right? So having two camps is no better than having just one, because there will always be somebody out there to have an exhibition match against.

yea this is pretty much why i asked to have some cross training with the Team punishment camp, I was thinking that my camp would attract allot of Muay Thai and Kickboxers and their camp would be more focused on Ground and Pound. This is good for our Jiujitsu practitioners to get used to work out of bad positions and try to pull off submissions when you have a dominant wrestler trying to grind you out.

exactly man. I plan on using Muay Thai and BJJ mainly. But I also wanna work on wrestling, takedown defense, and fighting off my back. And with Punishment's style, I can work on that. Since Punishment is mainly wrestlers and GnP guys.

idk man. Heavy Hands talks a ton of smack and I just don't feel intimidated or impressed by anything they say. Lockdown, I haven't heard anything from any of these guys, so they pretty much don't exist as far as I'm concerned.

regardless of what anybody here thinks, I KNOW Punsihment and Chute Boxe cross training like this is going to go over very well. Its going to improve both camps and make everybody involved excellent. We're getting two different training styles. We're working with more than one person, so it'll be like a different fight every time. We won't get used to one pattern or one way of doing things.

Besides, fighters train with many camps all the time. Chuck Liddell trained at the Pit for his fight with Wandy for awhile, then trained with somebody else for the last weeks leading into the fight. GSP trains in Canada then moves to Jackson going into the fight. Tito used to, idk if he still does, but Tito did most of his training up in Big Bear and would do wrestling somewhere else.

One fight time comes, we'll settle all this. I can't speak for Punishment or the rest of my team, but I'm sure they will do like me. And that is Show up to fight, prove every doubter out here wrong, set the bar for what is to come, start traveling on the road to the title, and make an example out of everybody I face. Its easy to get on here and be a keyboard warrior, but come fight night I will be competing like a champion. And Sittingbull will be the first one to tell you guys about it.

LOL, they can out number everybody on this site 9-1. If their guys aren't any good, haven't spent enough time training, and don't know what to do then they are screwed. big numbers mean nothing.

hell look at Punishment. They do not have many fighters. they aren't getting upset about that. because they know numbers mean nothing in this game. this isn't some kinda game where the biggest army wins or the strongest. its about two fighters entering the octagon and ONE becoming victorious. And 80% of the time, the better fighter wins.

as far as smack talk goes. I say let it happen. It'll be do a die come fight night. and then we'll see whos who and whats what.

well, if you really feel that will work more power to you. Your unreal number of members will eventually be your downfall. not to mention half of them won't be committed. we may not have 100 people per division. But the people we do have are committed and will work hard and WANT to be the best they can be.

and you are 100% right. you CAN train for about any style. But saying something and doing it are two different things. When I'm done with lockdown, I'll make sure lockdown is LOCKEDOUT the MW division. you can bank on that. And I'll give Punishment and Chute Boxe both credit for that.

I disagree. Camps mean a lot. its a group of people you train with and trust. They can help you figure out what you need to improve on and suggest changes that could mean the difference between victory and defeat. Camps allow you to find people with a vision similar to yours, that want the same things you do, and its about working together and helping each other obtain that.

nothing. but for some people its a lot better to have somebody you know train with you. then you guys talk and so ok how did I do? what should I work on? what was the easiest thing for you to do to me in that fight?

if you randomly play a fight and after that, its over. you don't get to converse and find out what needs improvement and what you should keep. you make the judgement yourself. you can't play yourself at the game, so you see things one dimensional. where as with a camp, you are getting a teammate's opinion and view of how it was and what they feel is your weakness and strengths.

no its not. sure its you in there winning it. But they helped prepare you. They helped get you there.

People in a camp will play fairly. If you play online matches against strangers then there is a chance of being glitched or lag switched. Summary: people cheat and it would be kind of hard to be that good if you fight against those types of people. The best way to say it is by saying the consistency in playing online will be different by leaps and bounds b/w strangers and teammates.

True but the journey leading up to the fight could either be your biggest advantage or it could be detrimental to the fight. Depending on which path you chose.

Please note that this is a video game and not real life. If GSP had instant access to incredible fighters from all over the world without leaving his couch, I seriously doubt he'd be hauling his ass to New Mexico.

Your camp is a small fraction of the people playing this game. At any given point in time there will be THOUSANDS of other people playing this game online that you can train with. You're limiting this number to 10-20 of the same people.

AND, the people in your camps might suck. Have you played a match with them yet? Or are you assuming that everyone who randomly said "I wanna join your camp" is Top 10 in the world at fighting games?

The whole point of having a camp, IMO, is for everyone to improve off of each other. If people suck they will eventually get better as they keep participating with their camps. Part of the whole team aspect is about making everyone within the camp a better version of themselves through time. You always have the option to leave your camp if you feel that you are not progressing.

No I have not. But they share the same desire, aspirations, and want the same things I want. So naturally I feel that we will be one of the best. and yes, I could play with any of those other people playing and I probably will.

Oh ok I should probably try for this and work on this instead of doing that and attempting this. or work on defending takedowns. there are a lot of things you can take from a camp. it's what you take from it and how you use it that can turn into something better.

The problem is you're comparing this to real fights and real camps. In a real fight you need outside input because you're facing an opponent who's trying to ****ing kill you. You can't analyze yourself or your opponent from an outside viewpoint during the fight.

But in a video game you have a perfect view of everything in a MUCH slower environment. Everything your camp sees you will have also seen and responded to. Unless you are partially blind your teamates will be watching the exact same fight as you.

Camps aren't bad, but they're not some miracle training device either.

yeah I am. Because they have similar features I believe. People use camps to improve their fights in real life. And we're using them to improve our gameplay. you're just taking my statement too literately.

and not necessarily will we all have the same viewpoint. Most people will get in there and do what it takes to win. they won't have time to stop for a second and think, ok this plan is working and is easy for me....oh wait this is a little difficult and he's countering good I can't use this.

Nobody is saying camps are a miracle either. I'm just annoyed people are coming on here bitching that two camps are training together. and annoyed that others are bitching because some people are having a good time with the camp thing and really getting into the game. its a damn game. games are supposed to be fun. this is fun for me and lots of other people.

Not everyone is a videogame prodigy, he'd probably lose to someone that isn't as good as him but that one person sees this hole in his game and exposes it. The guy is so used to winning he thinks the guy got lucky until someone else sees this same flaw and exposes him again...the random opponent sure as hell isn't going to tell him why he lost. He needs a team!

Here are a two reasons I like the ideas of being in a camp.

1. Build friendships - a lot of us probably have kid(s) and families at home and don't have much time to go out and party or travel all the way across town to a friend's house everyday because we have obligations at home. It's nice to relax and talk to a familiar voice and shoot the sh!t while playing a game at the end of the day. It's good to unwind. Sometimes if you've had a rough day, a simple statement from a teammate, "It'll get better bro, we all have bad days" goes a long way. Granted, I don't go online to discuss my personal life but it does help to get something off your chest to someone you have some sort of bond with.

2. Teamwork - Being on a team with like minded individuals almost always make you a better player. Why is this better than playing random people in exhibition matches? Some people are dickheads, that's why. The random person you play isn't going to explain to you that you are telegraphing a certain punch/kick combo and it's a little bit too easy to counter. He's gonna say, "PWNED" instead and go on his merry way. If a person can take constructive criticism and really wants to be a better player, a teammate is good to have. I do agree it is good to go online and play exhibition against random opponents, but if you keep losing a certain way or have trouble with certain aspects, you can simply jump on voice and grab a willing team member and let him know, "Man, I'm having trouble getting taken down repeatedly, not sure if I am just misjudging my opponent or what." Practice ensues...I can give a million scenarios, hopefully you get this point. If you look at some of the best MMA athletes they attribute a lot of their success to their camps for a reason. Will there be camps that are just plain bad and you won't learn anything? Yes, it's inevitable, but many camps will have a handful of very good players who will make you better. So all in all I'll take teamwork over solo any day of the week for almost any game. True champions are always willing to learn. You can't teach yourself everything.

This isnt as big of a deal as you guys are making it out to be. I agree with Cru though, he put it nicely... But ultimately its just a matter of preference.
