Designing Your MMA Workout – Week 1 (Energy)

[workouteatright]

Trying to get your Mixed Martial Career started, but you don’t have money to spend on physical trainers like Anderson Silva or Chuck Liddell? Your in luck because these next few articlew will systematically go through all the fundamentals you need to know to make your own UFC workout.

When it comes to designing your Mixed Martial Arts program, aside from your training in the deadly arts, you will need to create the right conditioning components to maximize your chances to victory. I would personally classify Martial Arts as a sport, so we need to focus in three main categories: Energy System Involved, Exercises/Plan, and Nutrition. This Thursday we will focus on energy systems.

Our bodies work primarily in 2 types of energy systems, Aerobic and Anaerobic. Many Exercise Scientist have determined in their research that in a typical bout of Mixed Martial Art Fighting that the anaerobic system is the primary system over aerobic by 2:1. What this means is that if your training for your fight for the next couple months against your opponent and you commit 3 days a week to your resistance training, only one of those days should be setup for an endurance style training.

Looking back to the basics of resistance training, the optimal Reps, Sets, & Time range for gaining Muscular Endurance is greater than 12 Repetitions, 1-3 Sets of the particular exercise, and only 30secs-2 minutes rest in between each set. As for your Anaerobic days the optimal range is 8-12 Repetitions, 2-3 Sets, and 2-3 minutes between sets.

Next Thursday, we will focus all the different exercises to incorporate into your MMA workout plan. Leave a comment if you have any other particular questions about the main structure for designing your workouts.

This has to be the most entertaining attempt at sounding like a fight authority I've come across yet. So much so, I had to break out this account to post about it.


It's been known for about oh, the last 90 years, that the anaerobic system is THE system used in fights. Why? It's a short term encounter with quick power being it's emphasis. In the terms of contemporary vs. TMA, contemporary martial arts are the sport. TMA is more of a lifestyle. That's an important dichotomy to come tor realize because if you're not careful you'll have a bunch of butthurt TMA guys (I do Northern Long Fist Shaolin Kung Fu) coming in to shut you down.

Ideally you can't just train "general endurance". If you do that, you're a runner - not a fighter. You should be spending majority of your endurance training on a bag, doing forms, combat-based exercises, and stretching for flexibility. Not only does it build muscle memory, it builds endurance and as for flexibility - saves bone breaks, increases power, and decreases muscle damage. all of which are important in combat. For MMA this would be the same as boxing, with some rolling around on the mat because most of that sweaty man-love fest is spent on the ground.

The fact people like you think that a MMA workout is any different than a boxing workout, a TKD workout, a shaolin workout, or a kickboxing workout blows me away.



However as a conclusion: Do yourself a favor and train for a REAL fight. Not a CAGE fight. If you train for reality a cage fight will be easy. Cage fights are heavily restricted (I.E. - you can can't crack someone's skull with your elbow when they get you in a clinch) and as such are not effective to train for. Learn the rules are train for real life. Real life is far tougher.
