2. Mixed martial arts is currently the fastest growing
professional sport in the world and it is easy to
see why. We have so many of those 'which martial
art is more effective' questions answered. Well at
least we think we do but really there are so many
variables that MMA fights usually just raise more
questions.
3. What is really interesting though and is a bit more
subtle is how fast the sport is evolving. I am not
talking about media coverage, global audience,
the number of quality MMA schools being set up
etc. What I am referring to is the actual sport
itself. There are a few fighters who are literally
changing the face of the sport.
4. The way they are doing this by training aspects of
their game that other fighters neglect.
There are two main factors that are often
overlooked. The first is the mental training or
psychology of the sport. This is becoming more
and more important as like any other sport,
mindset is paramount to success. Many fighters
win or lose before they even step into the cage.
5. The second is a comprehensive MMA workout
Now this is blatantly obvious in theory however it
is absolutely essential to get right. What is the
difference between two very evenly matched
fighters? Its almost always two things , heart and
fitness. Heart cannot be taught so that leaves us
with one controllable – fitness.
6. But MMA fighters are super fit you may be saying
to yourself. That may be true but there are a few
factors to consider. The toils of MMA are
completely unique and with it being the fastest
growing sport on earth, many so called experts
have exploited the market with sub-standard
mixed martial arts workout routines.
7. Where do these MMA workouts come from? Sadly
many of them are workout routines from other
sporting codes which have been re-branded as
MMA workouts. The science behind MMA fitness
is still behind other sports but it is catching up
quickly. What many people don’t realise is that
training harder is not the answer. Training smarter
is. There is a science to peaking for a fight,
maximising potential and preventing injuries.
8. The ability to train MMA as hard and as intensely
as possible is the result of a
proper mixed martial arts workout. Without this a
major piece of the complete MMA fighter puzzle is
missing.
