Accommodation
You stay inside the camp itself, in a 12-bed dormitory. It is rarely full, so the atmosphere stays relaxed and you get to meet other fighters passing through. A few Kazakh athletes live there all year round, which is part of the experience and of the daily life of the camp.
A kitchen is available on site, in a space shared with the other people living at the camp.
On-site support
We look after you for the whole stay, from your arrival to settling into the camp. We stay available for anything practical and show you around locally, so you can focus on training and quickly find your place in the daily life of the camp.
Meals
3 meals and 2 snacks are included every day, built around a heavy training load. Meals are prepared as meal prep and delivered each morning, with nutrition suited to an athlete’s needs.

Training
2 to 3 sessions a day with the DAR TEAM fighters: MMA, wrestling, grappling and boxing, following the club’s programme and the level of the group. The goal is simple — train hard, learn next to experienced fighters and keep improving for the whole camp.
Airport transfer
Return transfer between the airport and the camp is included. We pick you up on arrival and take you back to the airport at the end of your stay.
Activities
Several activities are organised during the stay: horse riding, traditional sauna and trips into the mountains. A chance to see another side of Kazakhstan and spend time with the group outside training.
If a NAIZA or OCTAGON MMA event takes place during your camp, front-row tickets are very likely to be part of the activities.
Coming soon

A section dedicated to the professional fighters signed with DAR TEAM will be added soon.
