Let’s get started.                           

·        Dumbbell punches from the Guard

Punch upward with dumbbells as many as you can do for around 30 seconds before switching to dumbbell elbows from the sprawl position targeting your upper core and pulling your muscles in an upward angle.

·        Dumbbell punches from the Sprawl position

Turn your head to your objective and try to rearward your elbow around 20 times in 30 seconds. This will focus on your upper body as well.

·        Bear Crawl

Get on your all fours and lift your knees off the floor and raise your hips as well, this will engage your core. Make sure the hips and the shoulders are at the same height. Step forward while you are reaching out with your arm extended forward. Repeat on the other side. This will focus on your legs and core.

·        Sprawl

Stand with your feet spread as wide as your shoulders. Sit down into a squat position and place your palms on the ground. Kick your feet back into a plank and then arch your back. Lower your hips and then reverse the exercise, up and repeat.

·        Hanging Leg Raise

This exercise engages the core, it also increases the strength in your abs. Hold a pull-up bar tightly and let your body hang. Try to raise your legs straight in front of you. It will be hard in the beginning but you’ll feel ease in a day or two. Hold this position and exhale. Repeat after a 5-second pause. If it is still hard, then bend your knees in the start then try to raise your legs.

·        Pull-ups

This is one of the most effective exercises in MMA routines. Grab a bar with a tight overhand grip and let your body hang. Bend your knees while you cross your legs and then squeeze your shoulders together. Pull your chest up to the bar. Repeat.

·        Stiff-Legged Barbell deadlift

Grab a bar with an overhand grip, you will need good wrist wraps if you are using heavy weights. Stand straight and then bend down. Pick it up and hold it to the length of your arms. Pause for at least 5 seconds, repeat. This will help your back and your legs.

Remember! MMA is not a joke. It’s a very tough sport that requires more than just heart, guts and grit. You’ll need to train, eat and fight smartly. Believe it or not, it’s more about being smart than being strong. Once you’ve gotten the hang of these exercises along with an awesome ass diet – Nothing can stop you.
