MMA Training Routine

Whether you want to fight in mixed martial arts, or you just want to train like a fighter and acquire the fighting skills and conditioning, you need to learn a mma training routine. You can start your training out in your own home. Remember, Rich Franklin started out his whole mma training routine inside a shed in his backyard by himself. Here's how to develop a routine:

1. Heavy Bag Work.

A heavy bag will be essential to get going with. You can get a new one at a sports store, or try to find a used one, or perhaps rig one up with used mattresses. This will take care of most of your striking and kicking routine. Develop a routine where you first practice all the different strikes individually, then combine those strikes together to form different combinations.

Next work on your kicks. Front kicks, side kicks, high kicks, even reverse kicks you can practice on your heavy bag. After you get used to your kicks, combine them, one at a time, with your combination punching routine.

2. Strength training.

You want to develop strength as a mixed martial arts fighter, but you don't want to train like a bodybuilder who just tries to develop big muscles. You want functional strength. And for this reason you can get away with doing a lot of dumbbell weight training and/or kettle bell training, and even bodyweight workouts. So you don't necessarily have to join a gym, you can develop your own strength training routine in your home.

3. Wrestling training.

Wrestling can be difficult to train on your own to start out with, and joining a class to get hands on experience is usually best. Look for a ju-jitsu school in your area for good ground work training. Having said that though, you can start your mma training routine by first learning wrestling skills on your own, either through book or video instruction. This will lay the ground work and understanding of technique, so that when you do join a class you will go in with at least the knowledge of how to do some of the moves, and will progress faster.

4. MMA Training Book.

Getting a mma training routine book is a great idea as it will show you how to put together all of the above and begin your training immediately. Routines you can do on the heavy bag, ground work you can practice, and strength training routines you can perform, will all get you immediately immersed into mixed martial arts training, and before you know it you'll be conditioned and ready to take things to the next level.

Heavy Bag Workout Routine

In this article I am going to share with you one of the best workouts and pieces of equipment for the home. Besides shadow boxing which is one of my favorites. The next best thing to have for your home is the heavy bag for a heavy bag workout routine. Here is why.

You have probably thought about this problem. Having a home gym, bench press, or weight machine in your home. What if company comes over? A bench press in the living room does take away from the decor of things. But what about convenience, health, and fitness? We do not have a spare workout room. So I started thinking mobile!

I get up in the morning to do my home workout. I incorporate as much Muay Thai as possible. Muay Thai elbows, knees, shadow boxing, etc. The heavy bag was the solution.

1. You can hide it in a closet or hide it in the corner. Take it in the garage, upstairs, or move it wherever. It is totally mobile for when you have guests. But comes back out for the ground and pound every morning.

2. The workout is awesome. You can sit on top of it and do Muay Thai elbows. Helps work the stomach too. You can practice punching while on top. You can practice side knees. Great workout in itself.

3. Use it just like a bench press. I use my dumbbells and lay on the heavy bag and do dumbbell presses. You get the full range of motion in your shoulders. You can also do dumbbell butterflies. Again, you get the full range of motion while on the heavy bag.

4. Your stomach muscles get hit too. Because it is a round bag your muscles work to stabilize your body. You can also turn and sit different ways to do crunches and sit-ups on the bag. You could add small weights if you wanted to do weighted sit ups. Or just use the heavy bag to anchor your feet under to do sit ups.

The heavy bag workout routine is so versatile. When you are done you simply move the bag out of the way! You will be happy and feel like a champ. Life is good! You will have worked your stomach, arms, and done knees and elbows. If I only knew what a great workout the heavy bag was on the ground along time ago. So don't hang it-throw it on the ground and start your ground and pound.
