I'm too far away from all the cities around me that have an MMA gym, to buy a regular membership. (i dont want to drive 1 1\2 hours everyday)
Is there an MMA camp that takes a few weeks out there? Some place to go for a short term and learn the basics to submissions.
I'm an amatuer MMA fighter and every fight I've lost (9-3) was because i got submitted.
I can knock people out.(3KO-1TKO) I keep the fight standing whenever possible, and i dont mind getting hit. But i get taken down and dont know how to get out of some of the positions i get put in. My only sparring partners are kickboxers, and I really need help with the ground game. So if you know of a jui jitsu school that would be great.
But im in Marshall Missouri, anything within a few states would be fine and i dont care about the total cost.
Thanks
Update:Ok i know i cant master the ground game in a short period of time. but i need all the help i can get. Some ground game, is better than what i got now.(almost none)

Ground work is something that always needs to be worked on just like striking. You can't go train ground for a couple months then claim you know how to handle the ground. Plenty of fighters have made this mistake. If your looking for mma camps though just do a google on it, and they'll come up. American Top Team does have some pretty good camps that I've attended in the past, so that might be a place for you to start.
I would pick either Chute Boxe Academy or Greg Jackson’s Submission Fighting and MMA Camp. Chute Boxe Academy because of the intense and aggressiveness of the fighters and training there. And Jackson’s for the overall training and the great strategies for fights his teams come up with.
