1) Get good glass!
- That'll make the biggest output difference. Your kit lens will be underwhelming.

2) Meter early and stick to it.
- Lighting in most gyms doesn't vary that much. It's uniformly bad.
- Try and get on the floor before the event to establish exposure.
- If you let the camera try and meter exposure during the event it's going to have a tough time switching between the dark kenshi and the light floors and walls
- Take note of which shots are well exposed, remember the aperture/shutterspeed value, set to manual, and use the reciprocal values to get the desired aperture or shutter speed as you move around during the event.

3) Have fun.
