Overview
Training like an MMA fighter is tough, but it's worth it. Mixed martial arts (MMA) strength and conditioning requires a lot of dynamic and compound movements. MMA is incredibly demanding on the body and fighters need to be able to generate a tremendous amount of power, speed and explosiveness. A successful MMA training program will build strength, increase lung capacity, improve core stability and develop power and speed.
