MMA Training Routines

Mixed Martial Arts Training or MMA training constantly evolves as athletes and coaches discover better, more effective training techniques. Many MMA fighters use circuit training to build muscle and develop endurance at the same time. This method is effective because the heart rate remains elevated throughout the workout.

An example of a weight training circuit for MMA training is:

  • Deadlift - 8 reps
  • Power Clean - 8 reps
  • Front Squat - 8 reps
  • Good Morning - 8 reps

Complete the circuit 6 times with 90 seconds rest between circuits. Move efficiently through the lifts without rushing or stalling.

Finely tuned workout plans can make or break a MMA fighter. Basic mixed martial arts training just doesn't cut it any more. MMA fighting requires strength, endurance, agility and speed and your workout needs to develop each of these aspects of training.

MMA fighters must have the physical conditioning of the boxer, the power of a greco-roman wrestler as well as the speed and agility of a black belt. To be successful in mixed martial arts it's imperative to utilize the most effective techniques from several disciplines to optimize your performance.

Further training occurs on the mat. Use each sparring match as a means to improve a part of your performance. You can work on various strking technique or practice takedowns. Try to spar with as many opponents as possible. The more matches you have the more experience and confidence you'll have going into the ring.
