        Then select OK.

6th]  After a while, the form come out . Find the ToolBox Tab, that is on the Left side of the sreen. Click it.    Then  Click the Pin on the Toolbox  to Lock it.  [Must do this.]

7th]   Use mouse click and Drag to resize the form

8th]  Use Mouse drag the scroll bar on the ToolBox to find    TextBox  , click on it , then click near on the left side in the form. Drag to the right side.  Release the mouse , Then   press keyboard   Esc .

9th]  Use Mouse drag the scroll bar on the  Properties  on the bottom right   to find    Multiline  ,  use the mouse to the change False  to  True.   The Textbox will become bigger.

10th]  Use Mouse drag the scroll bar on the ToolBox to find    Button  , click on it , then click in the form. Drag to the right side.  Release the mouse , Then   press keyboard   Esc .   Remember to  press keyboard   Esc      every time !

   Now there is a  Button in the form. Program is  write  inside the button.

OK!  Let start our FIRST c#  program !
I call it  Hello World !
It will show up  inside the Textbox  in the Form.


1}  Double click on button1
~  ~ Wait for a while  ~ ~ ~
This screen will come out.

2}   OK!  Let   WIRTE    our FIRST c#  program !  

This is the blank button1 program , DON'T DELETE ANY OF THESE !

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
        }


INSIDE THE   {   }   WIRTE  YOUR  PROGRAM (you can copy and paste these 3 Lines below)
            string STR_A;
            STR_A = " Hello World";
            textBox1.Text = STR_A;


SO  IT BECOME THIS
        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string STR_A;
            STR_A = " Hello World";
            textBox1.Text = STR_A;
        }

** MUST MATCH CASE **   A IS A , a is a  ,  a Is Not A  ,  A is Not a

3}  Select  Debug -> Start without Debugging

  will show up  inside the Textbox.   The words you type is gone!
Ha! Ha!  This is all because of   button1  that you click.

 Click  the  X   to close it.

So,  our  FIRST c# program work.  Next chapter I will show how to improve this program.

Run my house entirely from solar power

Can I run my house entirely from solar power and be independent from grid electricity (regular supplied electricity)  ?

More and more people are beginning to ask the question: "can I run my house entirely from solar power and be independent from grid electricity (regular supplied electricity) ?"

The answer is YES!

Many household appliances are becoming more and more energy efficient, examples are:
• LCD , LED  TV
• Laptop computers
• Solar fridges and freezers
• Evapourative air conditioners
• Use electric blankets instead of heaters
• Gas stoves
•  Low watt flourecents and even LED lighting


Here is a scenario of common household power usage and the relevant costs to run such a system with solar power:

To provide lighting and use of common household appliances:
• 20x11W globes average daily use of 5 hrs
• Vacuum cleaner average daily use of 30 mins
• Hairdryer for 20 mins
• Toaster for 30 mins
• Tv 54cm colour for 5 hrs per day
• Handrill for 20 mins per day
• Food processor for 40 mins per day
• Microwave for 10 mins per day


COMPONENTS OF SOLAR SYSTEM
For more detail on the   components of solar system , please read my article :
Let Use Solar Power, Sun Energy , Living Green

 8x80W PV Solar Panels
 6x102A 12V batteries
 4x20A solar regulators
 1 x 6000VA power inverter
 Cables and connectors
 Bracket mountings



Adding a fridge and freezer to the equation, which must run 24/7 will add cost in the form of at least four more 80W panels, two more 102A batteries and two more regulators.

Hot water geysers can be converted to solar heating, as they make use of the heat of the sun to warm water circulating through specially designed heating panels.

Stoves need to be gas, and can be supplemented with a solar cooker.
Then you get independent solar security lights with motion sensors and detachable solar panel, built in battery which is great outside security, never having to worry about power failures.

Please note that  I chose 80W panels for this exercise.
You could also use 160W panels, halving the number of panels,  take less space.
Or you could use 40W panels and double the number of panels,  take more space.

The price of solar panels is different depend on W (Watt). So is most costly for higher W.
But low W  will be more solar panel and will take more space.
The fact is   Space Vs Price !

Let Use Solar Power, Sun Energy , Living Green

Let Use Solar Power, Energy from the Sun, Living Green

The equipment are:

Solar Panels
Solar Regulators
Solar Batteries (DC power storage)
DC to AC power inverters

Let’s start with a brief revision of the major components found in a basic solar power system.
This should help you to understand then correctly identify and select the correct size components for your solar power system.
The following diagram shows the major components in a typical basic solar power system.
A basic solar powered system:

 The solar panel converts sunlight into DC power or electricity to charge the battery. This DC electricity/(charge) is controlled via a solar regulator which ensures the battery is charged properly and not damaged and that power is not lost/(discharged). DC appliances can then be powered directly from the battery, but AC appliances need a power inverter to convert the DC electricity into 220 Volt AC power.

See section below for information  & Description of individual solar power system components :

 

Solar Panels

Solar panels are classified according to their rated power output in Watts. This rating is the amount of power the solar panel would be expected to produce at STC (standard testing conditions) of sunlight intensity 1000w/metre at 25 degrees centigrade Different geographical locations receive different quantities of average peak sun hours per day.
As an example, in areas of the Highveld in South Africa, the annual average is around 5.6 sun hours per day. This means that an 80W solar panel based on the average figure of 5.6 sun hours per day, would produce a yearly average of around 450W.H per day

Solar panels can be wired in series or in parallel to increase voltage or current respectively . The rated terminal voltage of a solar panel is usually between 17-22 volts, but through the use of a regulator, this voltage is reduced to around 13 or 14 volts as required for safe battery charging.
Solar panel output is affected by the cell operating temperature. Panels are rated at a nominal temperature of 25 degrees Celcius. The output of a solar panel can be expected to vary by 0.25% for every 5 degrees variation in temperature. As the temperature increases, the output decreases.

Solar Regulators

The purpose of solar regulators, or charge controllers as they are also called, is to regulate the current from the solar panels to prevent the batteries from overcharging . Overcharging causes gassing and loss of electrolyte resulting in damage to the batteries.
A solar regulator is used to sense when the batteries are fully charged and to stop, or decrease, the amount of current flowing to the battery.
Most solar regulators also include a Low Voltage Disconnect feature , which will switch off the supply to the load if the battery voltage falls below the cut-off voltage. This prevents the battery from permanent damage and reduced life expectancy.
A solar regulator also prevents the battery from backfeeding or discharging into the solar panel at night and, hence, flattening the battery.

Solar regulators are rated by the amount of current they are able to receive from the solar panel or panels.

Choosing the right size solar regulator
A solar regulator must be able to handle the maximum current that can be produced by the solar panels. Reflected sunlight and specific temperature conditions can increase the output current of a solar panel by as much as 25% above it ’s rated output current. 

The solar regulator must be sized to handle the increased current.
Example: An 80W 12V solar panel has a rated output current of 4.55 Amps and a rated short circuit current of 4.8 Amps.
Minimum solar regulator size for a single 80W solar panel should be:   

4.8 Amps x 1.20 = 5.76 Amps.
It is recommended that the regulator selected is even slightly larger than this figure to ensure that it is not constantly operating at 100% of its rating, particularly in regions with higher ambient temperatures.
A good rule of thumb is a margin of between 20 and 30%.

Solar Batteries  (use for  DC power storage)

Deep cycle batteries are usually used in solar power systems and are designed to be discharged over a long period of time (e.g. 100 hours) and recharged hundreds or thousands of times, unlike conventional car batteries which are designed to provide a large amount of current for a short amount of time.
To maximize battery life, deep cycle batteries should not be discharged beyond 50% of their capacity. i.e. 50 % capacity remaining.
Discharging beyond this level will significantly reduce the life of the batteries.
Deep cycle batteries are rated in Ampere Hours (Ah). This rating also includes a discharge rate, usually at 20 hours. This rating specifies the amount of current in Amps that the battery can supply over the specified number of hours.
As an example, a battery rated at 120A.H at the 100 hour rate can supply a total of 120A.H over a period of 100 hours. This would equate to 1.2A per hour for 100 hours. Due to internal heating at higher discharge rates, the same battery could supply 110Ah at the 20 hour rate, or 5.5A per hour for 20 hours. In practice, this battery could run a 60W 12VDC TV for over 20 hours before being completely drained.
There are many factors that can affect the performance and life of a battery or bank of batteries. It is highly recommended that you speak with an experienced solar power system installer or solar battery provider prior to making any significant battery purchase.

DC to AC power inverters

The power inverter is the main component of any independent power system which requires AC power. The power inverter will
convert the DC power stored in the batteries and into Ac power to run conventional appliances.

Just over a decade or so ago, DC AC power inverters were so inefficient and unreliable, many people restricted themselves to 12V lights and appliances.
If you have recently tried to shop around for 12V DC appliances, you will see that there is a very limited selection available.
Today, the efficiency and reliability of the latest DC AC power Inverters, are a far cry from the inverters that were available 15 to 20 years ago.
There are three waveforms produced by modern solid state power inverters. The simplest, a square wave power inverter, used to be all that was available. Today, these are very rare, as many appliances will not operate on a square wave.
True Sine wave inverters provide AC power that is virtually identical to, and often cleaner than, power from the grid.
Power inverters are generally rated by the amount of AC power they can supply continuously . Manufacturers generally also provide 5 second and ½ hour surge figures. The surge figures give an idea of how much power can be supplied by the inverter for 5 seconds and ½ an hour before the inverter ’s overload protection trips and cuts the power.
For more info on solar inverters go check out our power inverter website -
http://www.inverter.co.za/solar-power-inverter.htm

Determining the size and number of solar power equipment that you need

Power inverter sizing
Appliance total power draw = 120W(for the 10 lights) + 500W(for the 2 TV ’s) + 250W(for the fridge) = a total power draw of 870W.
To provide a small buffer or margin your minimum size inverter choice should be around 1000W.
A modified sine wave inverter with a 1500W continuous power rating will therefore be your obvious choice in this specific solar system design.

Determining the size and number of solar panels
Here we take the total power usage daily = 1200W.H + 3000W.H + 6000W.H
This = a total of 10200W.H
Divide the total daily power requirement by the number of charge hours for that geographic region
eg. 10200/5.5Hrs = 1854.54W
Add 20% for inefficiencies = 2225.45 W
This total power value determines the size and number of panels
eg. 2225.45/75W panels = 30 x 75W panels.
If you fancied say 125W panels , then 2225.45/125W = 18 panels.

How many batteries?
Well the 75W panels produce 4.4Amps, thus 30 x 4.4 A = 132A x 5.5 Hrs = 726Ah
105Ah batteries, should be discharged to no more than 50%, 

thus we divide total amps by 105A x 50% = 50A.H
726/50A = 14.5 x 105Ah batteries.
For ease of possible 24V or 48V configuration, this would mean 16 batteries.

What size regulator do we need ?
Let’s say we had 20A regulators at our disposal.
One 75W panel produces around 4.4Amps.
3 x 4.4A = 13.2A
So 30 solar panels would need 30/3 = 10 x 20A solar regulators.

Complete the solar power system
Well we have the following:
• 30 x 75W solar panels
• 10 x 20A solar regulators
• 16 x 105A.H deep cycle batteries
• 1 x 1000W modified sine wave power inverter

Note:
To light up a 1000w bulb (1 kw bulb) continuously will require a lot of power. That is 1000 watts an hour for 24 hours , which equals 24 kWh's a day of power.
Most solar cells in full sun are about 15% efficient. Of course you have cloudy days and dark periods and short days in winter.
The sun at best puts out about 1000 watts/ m^2, so if you get 15% of this, you get about 150 watts per square meter.
1000 watt light bulb/ 150 watts = about 7 square meters of 15% efficient panels to run thru the day.
To run thru the night and cloudy periods, count on at least 300-400% storage capacity in batteries and charge inverters to give power back.
So about 21-25 square meters of panels would probably be good. Go to a solar manufacturer website to get specifics. With light trackers and concentrators you can do much better.
It is probably better to get DC powered lights rather than AC lights, so you can use the power directly without an AC inverter and the losses it comes with and costs.

When dealing with solar, you go with solar heat for heating water and space, that is the cheapest use of solar. Then you go with DC lighting and battery storage. Only use an inverter for appliances that require AC specifically, like TV's and computers.

p/s:
compare to regular electricity , solar power system more costly. But, if you want to do good in
helping environment, going green  than you should consider using one.
Now, there are more and more using solar power system in house , office , etc...

Best Media Player of my choice

Best Media Player of my choice  ( for playing  Video, DVD, CD, Music )

Here is the list of most use media player software for me. All these are free software. Don't cost any money.
I sort them out according to the function , user friendly , usefulness.   No.1 is the best and so on.

No.1 :   Daum PotPlayer (version 1.5.35951 beta)  (at the time I write this blog)         Download here
This is from the maker of   KMplayer.    Daum PotPlayer can play a lot of video format.
MKV  video format that sometimes cannot be play by KMplayer ,   Daum PotPlayer  play it  smoothly.
Daum PotPlayer  come with a lot of  keyboard hotkey that the other software don't have.
For example:  Jump forward or backward  in  ???  seconds, and that ???  can be self setting.  Very Useful.
The keyboard hotkey all can be edit to adjust to what I want. Very user friendly.
A lot of keyboard hotkey for a lot of function.

No. 2 :  K-Lite Mega Codec Pack (version 9.7.5 )  (at the time I write this blog)        Download here
It is one of my must install software. It have all the codec for playing most of the video format.
It come with a popular Video Playing software call   Media Player Classic Home Cinema  (version 1.6.5.6366)  (at the time I write this blog). It must be install for the fully functions of Daum PotPlayer.

No. 3 :  KMPlayer  (the last version I use is  2.9.3.1428 )  (now is version 3.5  at the time I write this blog)                   Download here
Before the create of Daum PotPlayer ,  KMplayer is no.1 media player software for me.
It have the function that  Daum PotPlayer  have,  and I found it more user friendly then Daum PotPlayer.
But sadly, it sometime have the problem of cannot play some of the  MKV  format video.

No. 4 :  VLC Media Player (version 2.0.5 )  (at the time I write this blog)        Download here
It can play most of the video format. MKV  video format that sometimes cannot be play by KMplayer ,   VLC Media Player can  play  MKV smoothly. It just lack the a lot of keyboard hotkey for a lot of functions.
Compare to  Daum PotPlayer  it lack a lot of  functions.

p.s.  Let me know if you found out other media player software that is better than  Daum PotPlayer.

Green Gardening - Kill Aphids the Natural Way

Green Gardening - Kill Aphids  with the Natural and Organic Way
Stop using insecticides that can harm other insects, animals.
Killing aphids naturally is better for your plants, the environment and beneficial bugs in your garden.


Aphids are small sap-sucking insects, and are among the most destructive insect pests on cultivated plants in temperate regions. The damage they do to plants has made them enemies of farmers and gardeners over the world.

Both adults aphids and nymphs suck plant sap, which usually causes distorted leaves, buds, branch tips, and flowers. Severely infested leaves and flowers may drop. As they feed, aphids excrete a sweet, sticky honeydew onto the leaves below. This allows a sooty mold to grow, which, in addition to being ugly to look at, blocks light from leaves. Also, some aphids spread viruses as they feed.
In addition to the fact that once aphids get into a garden, they breed like crazy, the bugs also leave behind a goo that eventually breeds a black mold on the plants' surface. If this is not caught before this occurs, it can cause irreparable damage to the plants in your garden.

Killing aphids naturally is not only better for the environment, but it is also a more effective way of killing the insect. Aphids don’t respond well to insecticides. Pesticides are more likely to kill the predatory insects than the aphids, so the insect population usually increases after spraying. Using natural ways to kill aphids preserves the insect’s natural enemies while creating a hostile environment for aphids.

Use Lacewings and Ladybugs to kill aphids
Aphids have a number of natural enemies, and these insects are much better at controlling aphids than any other method available to gardeners. Pampering and nurturing their natural enemies is an excellent method of organic aphid control. Introduce beneficial bugs, like lacewings and ladybugs, to your garden as a natural way to kill aphids. Nearby plantings of mint, fennel, dill, yarrow, and dandelions will help attract these insects to your garden.

Aphids natural enemies    ( the  GOOD  bugs of the garden )  :  Lacewings and Ladybugs

Here is Tips To Attract Ladybugs To Your Garden Image by Jeremy Vandel , Heather Rhoades
Attracting ladybugs is one of the top wishes for many organic gardeners. Ladybugs in the garden will help to eliminate destructive pests like aphids, mites and scale. Getting ladybugs to come to your garden and, more importantly, stay in your garden is easy once you know a few simple facts and tricks.
How To Attract Ladybugs To The Garden
The number one thing that will help attract ladybugs to your yard is food. Ladybugs eat two things, pest insects and pollen. They need both of these things to survive and when these things are in abundance in your garden, they will happily relocate to your garden.
There are several plants that ladybugs like to eat the pollen from. These flowers on these plants normally have flat flowers (like landing pads) and tend to be white or yellow. Flowers that attract ladybugs are: Angelica ,  Calendula   , Caraway  ,  Chives , Cilantro  , Cosmo  ,  Dill  ,  Fennel  , Feverfew

Organic Aphids damage control

1. Sprays plants with strong sprays of water from a garden hose to kill aphids.
A strong spray of water from a hose will knock many of the aphids off the plant, and they won’t be able to return. It also rinses off some of the honeydew. Spray the plant every day until the plant is aphid free.
(A hard, driving rainstorm will have the same effect.)

2.Control ants that guard aphid colonies in trees from predators.
While predatory insects are bent on destroying aphids, ants in the garden are the aphid’s sworn protectors. Ants feed on the honeydew produced by aphids, so it is in their best interest to defend this precious resource. Getting rid of the ants so that the predatory insects can do their job is an important part of a good aphid control program.
Control ants by trimming the lower parts of the plant so that they don’t touch the ground and give ants easy access. Control ants  by placing sticky bands around the trunks. Coat the lower part of the stem with a sticky substance, such as Tanglefoot, to prevent the ants from climbing. You can apply the sticky substance directly to the trunk of thick-barked trees and shrubs. Wrap the stems of other plants in tape and apply the product to the tape rather than the stem.
Cornmeal and sugar is also a good mixture to try. The cornmeal will expand after it is eaten and will also kill the ants. Cornmeal and sugar  place this around the base of the plan.

Make an ant trap. Make a collar out of a piece of paper to trap ants. To do this, cut out a circle that is at least 8 inches wide. Make a cut to the center of the circle and cut a small hole in the center that is wide enough to fit loosely round the base of the plant. Smear one side of the paper with Vaseline.   Place the collar, Vaseline side up, around the base of the plant. The ants will get stuck in the Vaseline.

3. Spray aphids with homemade tomato sprays , homemade garlic sprays , homemade pepper sprays.  This is better than insecticides , pesticides. This is one of those green, cheap solutions that really work. You don't need a toxic spray, and you don't need to spend money on commercial  insecticide.

Tomato Leaf Spray is effective in killing aphids and mites. It works because the alkaloids in the tomato leaves (and the leaves of all nightshades, actually) are fatal to many insects. They can also cause gastric discomfort in humans and pets, so try to avoid spraying this where kids or pets might be tempted to mess with it.
How to Make Tomato Leaf Spray: Ingredients: Two cups of tomato leaves , Two cups of water , Cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer , Spray bottle
To make the spray, chop up the tomato leaves and add them to the water. Let it sit overnight to steep. When it's done steeping, strain the leaves out of the water. Add another cup of water to the steeping liquid to dilute it a bit, and add the concoction to a spray bottle.
Using the spray is simple. Just spray your tomato leaf spray on the leaves (top and bottom) and stems of infested plants. Once should be enough, but check back the following day to see if you missed any, and, if you did, spray the plant again. Don't keep this spray for more than a week or so. Any unused portion can be diluted with more water and safely added to your compost pile.


Garlic Oil Spray is a great, safe insect repellent. Simply put three to four cloves of minced garlic into two teaspoons of mineral oil. Let the mixture sit overnight, and then strain the garlic out of the oil. Add the oil to one pint of water, and add a teaspoon of biodegradable dish soap. Store in a bottle or jar, and dilute the mixture when you use it by adding two tablespoons of your garlic oil mixture to one pint of water.
This mixture works because the compounds in garlic (namely, diallyl disulfide and diallyl trisulfide) are irritating or deadly to many insects. The oil and soap help the mixture stick to plant leaves. What insects does garlic oil repel? Whiteflies, aphids, and most beetles will avoid plants sprayed with garlic oil. A word of caution: don't apply this spray on a sunny day, because the oils can cause foliage to burn.
To use your garlic oil spray, first test by spraying an inconspicuous part of the plant to see if your mixture harms it at all. If there are no signs of yellowing or other leaf damage after a day or two, it is safe to use. If there is leaf damage, dilute the mixture with more water and try the test again. Once you have determined that it won't harm your plant, spray the entire plant, paying special attention to the undersides of leaves.
Warning: Garlic oil is a non-selective insecticide, which means that it will kill beneficial insects (such as lady bugs, who are natural predators of aphids) just as easily as it kills the bad guys. It's best to keep as many beneficials around as possible. This spray should only be used if you haven't seen any beneficial bugs in your garden. The tomato leaf recipe, above, won't harm beneficials, so you should use that if you're lucky enough to have some beneficials in your garden.


Homemade pepper sprays : Mix together a few table spoons of hot pepper sauce--whatever you have in the refrigerator will do--with a few drops of biodegradable dish soap in a quart of water. If you don't have hot pepper sauce at home, purchase some at the store. Don't worry about buying the most expensive one or the hottest one, if it's made of peppers, it will work. Let the solution that you have created sit over night.
Using a cheap, plastic spray bottle, which can be purchased at most discount stores, spray the solution onto the area where the aphids are infecting the plant. The capsaicin (the same thing that is used to relieve muscle pain in humans) in the peppers, which is the ingredient that causes the heat, will annoy the aphids and cause them to leave. Not only will the capsaicin annoy the pests, but the dish washing soap will dissolve the outer shells of the aphids, usually causing them to die.

** Note **  Don't use these sprays on lacewings and ladybugs ! You want to kill the pest aphids ,    Not the predatory insects that eat (feast on) aphids. 

These sprays are easy to use, inexpensive, and effective. As you can see, even organic home remedies require care and attention to their effects. In general, use each spray as little as possible, and use it responsibly. You'll win the battle against aphids, and still have a healthy garden after they're gone.

4. Plant aphid-discouraging plants:  garlic , onions , chives, mint(Mentha) and  petunia   near infested plants, as the smell drives aphids away.  Plant your favourite roses or other aphid-attracting plants alongside aphid-discouraging plants. Aphids dislike garlic, chives, onions, mint, petunias. Aphids love nasturtiums. Roses grown with garlic plants or chives are much less prone to aphid attacks and both have a beautiful flower of their own during flowering season.

5. Sprinkle flour over the aphids using a sieve or flour sifter. The flour will coat the aphids and they will drop off.

6. Dig banana peel into the ground. Cut-up banana peels or use dried banana pieces for this. Dig the cut-up peel or dried pieces 2.5–5 cm / 1–2" into the ground around the base of every plant that aphids are attracted to. The aphids will soon be gone.

7. Grow plants for a homemade aphid control. Plants such as the following are attractive to aphids and good for organic aphid control. Growing these far from other garden plants will lure aphids away and keep the garden aphid-free.   Nasturtium  ,  Aster  ,  Mum ,   Cosmos , Hollyhock  , Larkspur , Tuberous begonia , Verbena , Dahlia  , Zinnia

How to become a Pro MMA Fighter

How to become a  Professional MMA Fighter ?
I have to said this first,
DO NOT EXPECT TO MAKE A LIVING IN THIS SPORT.
If you're serious about fighting, want to prove how good you are or will be; read on.

Like a struggling musicians, it is hard to make any money, don't let the financials get you down, your chances of making a living strictly by fighting is very very slim. So you have to be really serious about being a pro MMA fighter, expect to be great, not to get a lot of money.

1st, Look for a gym near you that trains specifically in mixed martial arts. Some of you may have to move to a new area, (or country if you not in US, UK) to area that has a lot of MMA gyms to chose from. If you move away from your family/friends/hometown, then you will have no other options but to stay focused and train. Also, you need to find and live in a tiny place where the rent is absolutely cheap. That way, you can train full time, and work a part time job in between training sessions, or during your days off from training.
Choose reputable MMA gyms depend on your financial status.
If you have a lot money, you can train at a very reputable Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu dojo, as well as a very reputable muay thai or kickboxing academy. Also, hiring a nutrionist would be a very good idea. Keyword is Money is the limit.

How to look for a gym near you that trains specifically in mixed martial arts ? They will usually advertise in the Yellow Pages with a list of the techniques they specialize in. Try to find one that has at least a couple of fighters on staff as their experience will be invaluable to you.
If you cannot find a gym that specializes in mixed martial arts, consider studying Muay Thai, also known as Thai Kickboxing, boxing or other striking arts. For grappling skills study Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, sambo and wrestling. You can also purchase fighting technique DVDs or books to enhance your study.

2nd, Try to play off your natural strengths. Try to play off your natural strengths. If you have solid punching power, consider focusing on striking. If you have wrestling experience from high school or college, focus on your ground game. That being said you need to know both striking and grappling as most gyms train their fighters in a balanced style.

3rd, Know your weaknesses as well. If you don't have a solid chin, try to get the fight to the mat to eliminate the odds of getting knocked out. Likewise, if your opponent has poor striking skills but is skilled on the ground, you may want to keep the fight on your feet.

4th, Become familiar with how to defend yourself outside of your own discipline. Due to the nature of cross-training, all strikers must know some grappling and vice versa.

5th, Practice, practice, practice. Don't get discouraged. The more you "tap out" or get punched out, the more you learn. You have to love what you're doing, if you don't love it, quit and save yourself your monthly gym dues and your time.  Train to the fullest of your potential and train on strength and conditioning.

6th, Enter as many competitions in kick boxing and grappling as you possibly can. Realize that every time you lose, you get better.

7th, Enter a few amateur Mixed-Martial-Arts competitions. Make sure that the promoters don't charge you a high "entry fee" as they are making money off you; make sure that they match you with someone of comparable skill.
M. M. A. promoters are sometimes present to recruit you if your skills are promising, for example, The Ultimate Fighter. However, those fighters have been fighting for years and are well established. It is neither as quick nor as easy as it once was.

If you're serious about fighting, remember that theres hundreds, if not thousands of potential opponents who are as serious, if not more serious than you. If you haven't noticed, MMA is getting huge, and the level of competition is enormous...  So in order to hang with the big boys, you need to be at the same level as them.
There is no set requirement, but it is better to get a few in, at least 3 amateur fights are you suppose to have or required to have before you start having a professional record.
If you go into pro fighting too soon you run the risk of getting beat down by alot of people because you don't have the experience (aren't at that level yet). If you did ever progress further as a pro MMA fighter, having 5 losses from your first 8 fights or something isn't gonna be terribly good for your record/promotion of yourself.

Once you accept money for a fight its professional and you can never go back to amateur, and your pro record won't change. Think about that.
