Requirements for Jackson's gym.

[spiderbloke]

It's one of the most successful and currently one of the most dominant fight teams in mixed martial arts.

But you may be surprised at how easy it can be to become a member of Greg Jackson's famed New Mexico-based Team Jackson.

In Friday's new edition of "Inside MMA" on HDNet, Jackson discusses the traits he's looking for in potential team members. And talent isn't the primary requirement.

Thanks to our partnership with the weekly MMA news show, MMAjunkie.com presents a preview clip of the episode and part of Jackson's conversation.

So, do hopeful team members need world-class skills?

"Nah, they really have to have a ton of money," Jackson joked. "We don't even talk to people. Just tons of cash.

"Really, we're a laid-back gym. It's all about attitude with us. If you come in and give to the team and be a good person so to speak, then it really doesn't matter the level of talent. We can work with that. Determination beats talent a lot of the times."

Joining Jackson on this week's panel are Team Jackson fighter Joey Villasenor and author/MMAjunkie.com contributor Kelly Crigger.

For the full discussion, including why Villasenor still owes Jackson $5, check out the embedded clip.

I found this interesting.

I am interested in what you consider "good fighters". Nate Marquardt, Rashad Evans, Diego Sanchez, Jon Jones, Keith Jardine, Carlos Condit, Shane Carwin... with many other fighters coming to train there like George St Pierre, Arlovski, etc... I would say these are all good fighters in my book... Most of the people that are in Black House right now are from Chute Box and other academies that feel like training in the US. I would say that if I had the chance to train at either gym, I would go to Greg Jackson before Black House. But thats just my 2 cents

There are several including Holly Holm, who is a 9 time World Boxing Champion; Michelle Waterson, Jodie Esquibel, Nohim Dennisson, myself and Nikki Garcia. We also have Heather Clark and some others who may turn to MMA, but they are right now competing in submission grappling tournaments and kickboxing.
