Strength and Conditioning For MMA

What is Strength and Conditioning?

Here at Bodytorque we take average gym go'ers along with amatuer and professional fighters and turn them into fitter, faster, more explosive athletes! Through using unconventional training equipment such as beer kegs, tractor tyres, sledge hammers and battling ropes (plus much more) we create specific programs to give our fighters the power and endurance to WIN fights!

Strength and Conditioning for MMA is Vital
Strength and Conditioning for MMA is one of the most vital training aspects from beginning amateurs to seasoned pros. Take an average athlete who is training in MMA and has a decent skill set and compare them to someone with that same skill set except this second person is faster, stronger, more explosive, and has better endurance. Who’s going to win? 

Strength and Conditioning Should be Year Round

 Strength and Conditioning training should always be ongoing. Often times, mixed martial artists take breaks from training in between fights which is understandable, but the successful ones are always still in the gym keeping active. One of the best times to focus on strength and conditioning for mma is when you aren’t focused on training for an actual fight. Then when your 8 week fight camp finally does begin, you are already an athletically improved version of yourself. 

 Where Can I Do Strength and Conditioning?

 Strength and Conditioning can be done at specialty facilities, such as Bodytorque, where classes are specifically planned to give fighters the winning edge over their opponents. (Location & timetable is on www.bodytorque.org.uk)

Strength and Conditioning Wins Fights!

 Many fighters are unaware of the importance that strength and conditioning for mma plays in the success of their careers. Have you ever watched a fight where one fighter looks to be years ahead of the other fighter in terms of technique? They execute flawless takedowns, crisp striking, and beautiful near submission attempts. BUT, then the 3rd round rolls around and that fighter is gassed. They’ve got nothing left. Their arms and legs are full of lactic acid and their breathing is extremely labored. We’ve all seen it before, and this is where the fighter with the greater cardio, endurance and explosive power, due to strength and conditioning takes the fight over and comes out with the win/win bonus.

 

 

At Bodytorque we are currently training fighters from a number of gyms in the merseyside and working very closely with world GBH title holder Bryan Creighton, British flyweight title contender Mick Gerard, English Kickboxing champion Danny Horton and many other pro fighters such as Ian Entwistle, Mark Ryder and Declan Williams to name just a few.
