Thoughts on fighters who follow little to no structure in their training for example Conor McGregors flow mma sessions where he would show up by himself whenever in the day he pleased and would train alone. Not to mention his mobility training that incorporates a lot of different exercises and unique training methods I’m unaware of he plans out his sessions for them or even mma?
My mma routine week 123. Week4 is deload
You can’t rely on athleticism forever. At some point technique, composure, and conditioning catch up to everyone.
I remember thinking going hard every round meant I was improving fast, but honestly I was just tense, gassing out, and making the same mistakes at full speed. The better guys in the gym always looked calmer than everyone else.
Hard for me to tell, she panicked and dropped the pad but he also seemed to throw it a touch too high. Looks like two people doing stupid crap.

I'm a full time college student, I don't work a job, my school is paid for, I love my life rn but know it's only going to be like this for about another year. Looking to get my first ammy fight in December of this year, will mark about 1.5 years of training martial arts. College football was harder than this, even pro fighters tell me I do too much but I don't care.
Edit: I eat plenty of nutritious food, get at least 7 hours of sleep, and drink well over a gallon of water daily, so I feel great.
In the military currently and considering training whenever i can while in and once i get out taking a fight career seriously. Obviously training wouldnt be on a consistent schedule depending on work but if its over the course of 5 years do you think that would be enough base to start taking amateur or even pro fights? Would like to hear from anyone that may have personal experience doing this but any input is welcome.
To preface i understand that there are so many variables that can go into it so i suppose base answers off of a 1-3 days a week (in an actual mma gym) with a 6-9 month deployment every other year.
I know it might seem slow but thats bcs i gained quite a lot of weight lately. Just letting u know i have done fighting sport in the past but it has been 2 years already since EVER doing any sort of fighting.
my cardio is a bit messed up right now
Title. I can box (better than somebody who never has), I’m pretty decent at wrestling and have slight bjj experience, but secretly don’t have the flexibility to throw a head kick.
Just started at the local gym, i really need to up my strength and mass, but i like to keep it simple, would you rate my program, i am a little unsure if my arms is gonna lack?

Hey guys I need some advice, I’ve been training on and off for like a year and a half now. I can spar pretty well with amateur fighters and I can go hard too if I need to.
The issue is I kinda feel like an asshole if I hurt my training partner, and my coach even tells me I’m too nice sometimes. Because of that I end up going too light and then the sparring doesn’t feel realistic.
I’m also one of the bigger/heavier guys at my gym so maybe that’s part of it too.
Anyone more experienced got advice on how to find the balance between actually showing your skills and not feeling bad about it after?
30M and busy family dad here.
I have always had an jealousy on the guys who can fight/handle themselves, the level of confidence you guys seem to have, is something i want to get, the feeling of being able to defende yourself against most guys, is great, and the training in it self is good.
I workout at home with gymnastic rings and bodyweight exercises, and have been thinking about training once a week, maybe twice sometimes, martial arts, i have the following options near me:
Boxing ( have done this for a year before, got my ass kicked everytime )
Muay thai
Luta livre
Judo
Personally i think its an striking art, its seems it easier to learn, and to use in a self defence situation.
Hey guys,
So I’m friends with a amateur soon to go pro MMA fighter who brought me along with him to sparring day at his gym. I came from a taekwondo and slight kickboxing background from when I was 14-16 or so but haven’t done it since (now 22). It got me pretty addicted to the sport and I’ve been training for a little over two months now.
I recently got my proportions measured after noticing my reach consistently felt short just to discover that at 186cm tall my reach is only 69 inches long while my legs are 40 inches long. I never looked visually out of proportion but after realizing how strangely low my reach is especially for my height and weight class I’m wondering how much of a future I really have in this sport and whether how debilitating of a disadvantage this reach really is. I’m wondering now how much I’ll have to compensate henceforth for potential amateur bouts which would be a goal of mine where my opponents will likely out reach me by 6-8+ inches
Hello guys, I have some things to put here, I would like to answer
I would like to become a professional player in martial arts, but my age seems old. I am 17 years old and I have never played any fighting sport or I have no experience in a fighting sport, boxing, wrestling or gujisto, but since I was 16 years old, a year ago, I started watching some UFC fights and Ilya Toporia caught my attention and I started practicing some boxing and punching at home, but I would like to become a professional player. Can I do that since I am 17 years old? I am from Saudi Arabia anyway?
Hello, I’m thinking about learning MMA. I did boxing, Thai boxing and participate international in kyokushin karate. I also did Chinese Kickboxing for a few months (Combat Sambo/Wushu Sanda). A few times I went to MMA and wrestling training with friends for fun. Now I’m interested in competing in MMA, but therefore I need to start working on my grappling/bjj and wrestling. Do you have any tips on what I should focus on ( like e.g. takedown defense ) and how long I should expect to train to get ready for a fight. Should I go to MMA classes or should I specify in wrestling and grappling for the next few months.
I was supposed to have my first mma fight in two weeks. Last night, during sparring, I caught an accidental knee to the face and broke my nose. I went to the doctor and they said avoid contact for two weeks. I can still do cardio, strength training, and drills that are non contact. I think in two weeks I’ll be fine and could still fight but since it’s my debut could it be risky? I don’t know I’m looking for advice on what to do in my situation.
Would Lomachenkos's like boxing foot work work in mma or would opponent just get into clinch with you.
