 |
In England, we Brits have a rather weak MMA scene. Nonetheless I practice it and i'm pretty damn good. I've been doing it for the past 7 months. It's violent and vicious stuff but theres no better form of self defence. And no anybody can just go out and do it. You have to be a tough lad like myself.
Forget all those karate lessons or judo practice. The best way to know how to defend yourself is to go out ther, take MMA classes and FIGHT. You'll be much more deadly in month than a guy who's been practicing Karate or Judo for 3 years. And that's a fact.
But anyways, for those who do do it I want to emphasis an important and crucial move in MMA and how you can develop your use of it by simply doing one basic bodyweight exercise.
The Clinch move is where you lock your hands with your palms resting on the back of your opponents head and you bring it down to your chest. From then you would usually execute a knee to the body or face.
Now, if you're pretty strong, then this move is near impossible to get out of. To develop that strength and a solid grip in The Clinch you need to do the followiing exercise:
Chin Ups: The chin up is an awesome bodyweight exercise that'll strengthen your clinch. You'd be surprised by the amount of people who can't do these moves. Guys who are benching 400lbs can't even do 2 chin ups. But if you do at least 4 sets of 10 every other day, your clinch will be seriously effective and nobody would get out of it.
Wanderlei Silva himself said that chin ups have helped made his use of the clinch the most effective move in his arsenal.

YOU MAKE SOME BOLD STATEMENTS THERE!!!! and NO IT IS NOT A FACT IT IS YOUR OPINION!!!!! AND THAT IS A FACT. Mr. SILVA has LOST the last 3 out of 4 fights. That is a FACT. Hey btw i'm one of those guys who benches 400 but i can rep out 20+ chin ups in a set! In BOOT CAMP I could do 35+ per set! i've done 39 chin ups at once b4 that is my personal best! And that is MARINE CORPS standards no cheating ALL THE WAY DOWN all the WAY UP and you have to lock out every time! or it won't count and chin has to always be above the bar or it won't count!! BUT DUDE I think you BARK out things way 2 much and i have much back up on this!

But son, listen...what you have to understand, son, is that Wanderlei Silva had been severely injured during those last 3 matches he lost, son. So you see, son, when somebody is injured they tend to not perform at their fullest capacity, son. You're one of very few, son, who can even do more than a few chin ups. Because, son, it military training will turn you into a pretty brutal human weapon, son, therefore you sort of had no choice but to do your 20 reps incase you got a beating from your superiors, son.
So son, when you're doing your 20 rep chin ups, remember son, that there are 98% of guys you're size, son, who have very little military expereicence and can't even do a full rep, my son.

MMA courses? Never saw a dojo or gym teach mixed martial arts. The only real martial arts program I know of that mixes a bit of everything is MCMAP (marine corps martial arts program) and to do that you pretty much have to enlist. Either or, MCMAP sucks, its very situational and has only helped me with ground fighting. The striking is horrible. |

Hmmm, for MMA I'd definitely work on core strength and serious cardio. I don't do MMA, but what I did adopt from Rich Franklin's workout is intervals style cardio. Go balls out for 2 min on the treadmill and then go to normal speed for 3-5 and go another 2 min balls out. Do this for 30-40 min and you're good.
Doing 60 min of cardio at 60-80% doesn't do much to simulate the type of cardio needed in an MMA fight.

better bring a packed lunch when you train MMA. full out sparring is really the best way to go to train for it. No matter how much ju jitsu or wrestling you know, it all goes out the window when you have a guy laying on top of you peppering your face with punches. |
