Instructionals are a great way to learn this stuff, but you do really need to do it 'live'. Gyms (MMA, BJJ, etc.) are popping up all over the place, and really, this will be a better way to learn. However, that's not to say that if you're dedicated, you can't learn it on your own via instructionals. In fact, the late Evan Tanner (once a UFC MW Champ) actually taught himself subs by watching tapes in his garage...

Martial Arts - Best One To Train?

BY CHESS MCDOOGLE

Many individuals are interested in the best, most effective form of martial arts to get involved in. They want effective self defense moves that will work not only in the gym, but mainly on the street.

So whats the best, most effective form of fighting to get into?

Many have sworn by martial arts training systems from Muay Thai to Brazilian Ju-Jitsu and a slew of others that promise to be "the best". The reality is that the best form of martial arts and self defense fighting systems is going to be one that encompasses the best from all styles.

Does this mean I have to enroll in a dozen different martial arts schools?

No! This may have been the case in that past, but today there are schools and classes that offer mixed martial arts training. This encompasses all the different and most effective fighting styles and puts them together in one training platform so you don't have to go out ant train them all separately.

The different styles are not just limited to traditional "martial arts" either. There is the best from boxing and classic wrestling, as well as moves that are unique to mixed martial arts.

Learning the best of all worlds is definitely the way to go, and actually a good way to start out in your martial arts training endeavor. After you learn a little from each discipline, you can then make the decision to study a certain style more exclusively. That is, if you take a particular liking to Muay Thai, then you may choose to learn and study more of that style exclusively. But you'll never know what style speaks to you until you get involved in mixed martial arts and get a good taste of each.

Before enrolling in any school, it's a great idea to get a book on mixed martial arts and do some home training so when you do enroll, you will have some experience going in, and at least have knowledge of the different moves and techniques.

Ultimate Fighting Training Options

BY CHESS MCDOOGLE

To train as an Ultimate Fighter or mixed martial artist you have a few different options. Whether you want to ease into a few different styles, or try to go full throttle, here are some important options to consider:

1. Train Jujitsu. One excellent way to introduce yourself to one aspect of ultimate fighting is by beginning to train jujitsu. Here you will learn the ground game which is very important in mixed martial arts. Not only the various aspects of wrestling will be covered, but also choke holds, submissions, locks and take downs will be covered. You will also get a taste of the endurance aspect to the sport. Jujitsu is incredibly draining. Being on the ground can take a lot out of you and during your jujitsu sparring sessions you'll soon realize how important cardiovascular training is and what it really feels like to be exhausted during a fight.

2. Train Muay Thai. By training Muay Thai you'll learn different strikes and all the different kicks used in the stand up game of Ultimate Fighting. It's an excellent way to perfect your stand up, not only learning offensive moves, but learning how to effectively defend and deflect strikes, kicks, and in close knees. Some people will choose boxing to train their stand up game, but Muay Thai gives a more rounded and realistic approach to what it will be like fighting as an Ultimate Fighter.

3. Train at a Mixed Martial Arts school. There are more of these beginning to pop up and for one wanting a well rounded approach to mixed martial arts and Ultimate Fighting, this could be an excellent option. Here you'll learn all aspects of the game, stand up, ground game, striking, punching, kicking, elbows, knee's and so forth. Some schools may have separate Muay Thai or Jujitsu classes you can attend as well.

Mixed Martial Arts - Ultimate Fighting - How to Train

BY CHESS MCDOOGLE

Training as an Ultimate Fighter or mixed martial artist, means you need to learn different styles of combat Here are the most important forms you should learn as your base, and at the bottom are some ways you can learn all the aspects of mixed martial arts quickly and effectively.

Ground Work - Jujitsu.

The ground game is incredibly important and Jujitsu is a great way to master it. You'll train the various aspects of wrestling, as well as choke holds, submissions, locks and take downs.

You will also get the much needed endurance aspect needed for mixed martial arts. Jujitsu is very physically draining and taxing. Sparring sessions will take your cardiovascular training to task and will show what it feels like to be exhausted during a fight.

Stand up Game - Muay Thai

By training Muay Thai you'll learn the strikes and kicks needed for successful mixed martial arts training. Muay Thai is a great way to get your stand up game mastered, by not only learning offensive moves, but learning how to effectively defend and deflect strikes, kicks, and knees.

Some people will decide to train boxing as their stand up game. But Muay Thai gives a more rounded and realistic approach to what it will be like fighting as mixed martial artist.

How and Where to Train?

Try to first pick up a mixed martial arts/ultimate fighting training manual which will give you a head start and provide the exercises and skills for what you'll need to do in ultimate fighting. This way, when you do train with other people, either sparring independently or at a school, you'll already have great base knowledge and won't be going in green.

Next you'll want to find a mixed martial arts school. There are more ultimate fighting style schools and classes popping up. They can provide a well rounded training environment for mixed martial arts and ultimate fighting.

MMA TRAINING TIP

Learning mixed martial arts, or mma, involves a three prong approach. Unlike other sports, an mma training tip routine will need to focus on not just one area, but a number of areas that are all equally important as part of successful training. Three main areas to begin with as bases for mma training tip routines are the following:

1. Stand up. This aspect of the mma training tip routine involves mainly your punching and kicking ability while on your feet. A strong stand up game can lead to major punishment and even a quick knockout. Stand up mma training tip routines should include boxing as the base, with emphasis on strikes, combinations and strong defense.

2. Ground work. This involves wrestling as the base for this mma training tip routine. Ground work is extremely crucial to success in mma competition. Some great stand up competitors have been easily defeated as soon as the match went to the ground. From the ground mma training tip routines will consist of submissions, sweeps, locks, as well as "ground and pound" punching, including elbow strikes. Defensive mma training tip routines will also be practiced.

3. Cardio. Cardio work, or conditioning, is an essential part to an mma training tip routine. It easily separates winners from losers, and can overide skill level if one competitor can outlast the other. An mma training tip routine for conditioning will consist of intense cardiovascular exercise that makes sure the athlete is in peak shape and able to still perform at the maximum level possible despite being under major duress.

These are the 3 main physical aspects necessary as part of a sound mma training tip routine. From here one can get begin to get more specific in their mma training by researching various options, styles and routines for each.

Weight Tranining Workouts

The structure of a muscle fitness training system can take many forms, varying from extremely short and intense to overly lengthy and exhaustive.

One basic way in which a muscle fitness training system is structured is by utilizing a "split routine", dividing the muscle groups up and targeting a certain group one day and another group on another day and so forth. One of the best and basic muscle fitness training systems consists of a split 3 day a week routine which basic structure looks something like this:

Basic muscle fitness training system: 3 day a week workout:

Monday: Chest/Shoulders/Triceps
Wednesday: Back/Biceps
Friday: Legs

Looking at this basic 3 day a week muscle fitness training system, Monday three different muscle groups are worked. The pectorals (chest), the deltoids (shoulders), and the triceps. Since there is some overlap in muscles being worked, that is the deltoids and triceps will be assisting in pushing movements involving pectoral work. So it makes sense to also train shoulders and triceps in this workout as they're already being "activated". So shoulders are followed after chest, and the workout concludes with tricep training (the two larger muscle groups are worked first, and then the smaller triceps muscles are worked last).

Wednesday in the basic muscle fitness training system consists of back (latissimus dorsi) and biceps. Once again there is muscle overlap. When one trains the back performing pulling movements, the biceps also get activated to a degree. So the biceps will be trained on back day since they're already getting worked.

An added note to back and forearm training in Wednesdays muscle fitness training system. The back is sometimes split between upper back for width, and mid back for back thickness. After the biceps are performed, some trainees will also train their forearms, if their goal is overall arm development and especially if their arm development is particularly lacking in the forearm department.

Friday in this muscle fitness training system calls for legs, or in gym circles its "leg day", or in hardcore dungeon gym settings, its "DLD", "dreaded leg day". Since dreaded leg day can be so taxing on the entire body, two days rest are given for recuperation before starting up again with chest on Monday. Leg day consists of training the front leg muscles-quadriceps, the back leg muscles-hamstrings, and the calves round out the Fridays muscle fitness training system.

This is just one basic muscle fitness training system split, which provides the trainee the benefit of working overlapping muscle groups in the same day and allowing rest and recovery in between each muscle building workout. There are a number of other muscle fitness training system splits, routines, and workouts. Only through beginning a routine and seeing what personally works for your bodytype and genetic capabilities, can you begin to personalize your own ideal muscle fitness training system. Future articles will outline specific exercises one can implement within this workout split.
