MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) training is gaining more and more exposure online as the premier MMA promotional company UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) grows.
Professional MMA athletes are widely regarded as some of the fitness and most technically gifted sport people in the word due to the diverse skill set required. 'Fighters' need to master Brazilian Jiu Jistu, Wrestling, Muay Thai, Boxing and other martial arts. These different
fighting styles all challenge the body differently therefore increase stamina, explosive strength and general fitness.
As the sport grows there are lots of people getting involved with the sport
and competing at an amateur level.
However, what about of you have no intention of ever competing?
In my opinion, MMA training is ideal for people that don't intend to compete. It should be noted that the vast majority of training there is contact. An element of the training involves sparring, obviously the level of intensity of the sparing depends those involved.
Firstly, the diversity of the training means that anyone involved will keep interested as the us always something new to learn. In addition to this, as there is a natural progression that can maintain motivation as you can physically see your skills improve.
MMA training also increases confidence, as the skills and techniques you will learn can be used for self defence. A surprising additional benefit of training is that you will also get used to staying clam whilst in a physically comprising position, such as on the floor with someone on top of you.
The physical conditioning element of MMA training is intense - however due to the fact that the more physically fit you get the easier it is to execute the techniques. If there are two fighters with the same skill level, normally, the fighter with the best physical conditioning will win.
From the outside looking in, MMA training can be a bit daunting, however i recommend you find a gym and give it a try - but beware, if you get bitten by the bug, MMA could become a major part of your life!
