Out of all the combat sports, MMA is probably the hardest of them to program strength and conditioning for. In boxing, the movements are limited to that of punching. In wrestling, it is to that of grappling. A multifaceted sport like MMA however, involves aspects of all major fighting styles, including striking, grappling, wrestling, and submission techniques.
Therefore, a strength and conditioning program for MMA needs to address all of those planes of movements. The possible scenarios that one may experience in a match are astronomical.
And those are only the movement aspects, we additionally have the energetic aspects… All major energy systems are emphasized in the sport of MMA, and they all need to be in peak shape leading up to a fight. You cannot rely on strength only, and you cannot rely on endurance only, in MMA, there is a counter for every advantage-and you must be in peak shape in all aspects. (History has repeatedly shown the fate of one-trick ponies.) It is called ‘’mixed martial arts’’ for a reason-it requires you to be as well-rounded as you can get.
And finally, MMA is a relatively young sport, and the research is extremely scarce, it’s almost a catastrophe. Most studies that are labeled as MMA today simply focus on the subcategory-sports of MMA, which includes striking-sports, wrestling, and submission-sports. MMA however, is very different from those. The scientific consensus is therefore very distorted regarding the optimal physical profile for MMA. Through this series however, I will attempt to gather the few available sources specific to MMA and put forth what’s relevant into a concrete action plan.
In this video, we will go through a brief introduction of the principles of strength and conditioning for MMA. In later videos, I will introduce more concrete program design.

    The speaker emphasizes the importance of training the ATP-PCR system for high-power outputs and the anaerobic glycolytic system for high-intensity, longer-duration activities. For the ATP-PCR system, non-fatigue, maximal effort activities lasting up to 20 seconds with 2-5 minute rest periods are recommended. Regular strength training, plyometrics, ballistic exercises, and HIIT can effectively train this system. The anaerobic glycolytic system kicks in when the ATP-PCR system runs out during high-intensity activities and produces lactate and hydrogen ions, leading to exhaustion. Effective training methods include compound lifts with high repetitions, HIIT, and circuit training. For the aerobic system, the speaker recommends interval training, with 2-8 minute intervals and short rest periods, along with high-intensity interval training, which trains both aerobic and anaerobic systems simultaneously.

    IMO, if you are starting out in MMA you need to focus heavily on endurance and skill training. 90% of your training time should be skill and endurance. Once you have reached an adequate level and competing as an amateur or early pro, you figure out your style. That’s when the more focused strength and conditioning comes in. So much easier to build up from an endurance base, and MMA skill training will work a lot of the anaerobic.

    I hold that one should practice both at the same time. Despite what people say, i think their is an immense edge that you can have over your opponent if you say, back squat way more than them. Strength Training gives you intense leverage over your opponent. As a HS Wrestler i need to train in all aspects, i don't see this replicated by some guys on our team; and im sure within a couple of months i'll be piecing guys up on the mats. I'm nearly at an Advanced Strength Training level thanks to my extensive Weight Training class i took last year along with training at home. The fatigue was crazy but the athleticism and mindset i've gained from combining these practices has been immense. My intuition tells me that if i keep up this fairly intense pace with all disciplines, the gainage will be immense.

    I’ve done mma for over 10 years and I wanna give my two cents on this, back before I did mma I did kyokoshin karate and we had a saying. If the oponent is 10 years younger or 20 years heavier, they are on belt better. Strength has such an immense advantage and an insane edge against your opponent, do both.

    Lol when you said High intensity interval training for the third time I died laughing. I was like ok so you can do hiit for the atp pcr and anaerobic lactic system now I just need an exercise for aerobic and I get hit with the “you can also use hiit btw”. The fact that you can use HIIT for all three of the systems is hilarious

    Great video! Found one slight mistake that is very easy to make. You said "all.major planes of major planes : squat, deadlift, push, pull" these aren't the planes of movement these are the fundamental movement patterns but all of them occur in the same plane. There are 3 planes of movement sagittal, front and transverse. All the compound moves you listed take place in the sagittal plane. The frontal plane would be movements such as a Cossack Squat, lateral raises, hip abduction or oblique crunches. And the transverse plane is rotational movements such as russian twists, landmine Twists, woodchoppers ect. Not commenting to be wide, hopefully someone can find this information helpful.

    I think it is important to train all three aspects in a proper MMA routine. HIIT training followed by Strength training can probably train the Anaerobic systems, but its is 100% important to do sprints, morning jogs and rope skipping separately for aerobic training. I think a good solid MMA work should involve all these aspects along with you technical training.

    This really makes alot of sense! I do wonder tho, if the aerobic system is more useful than this video makes out; useful also to raise the bar for the intensity of activity possible before engaging the anaerobic system. In a sport with weightclasses, the strength difference is not immense, and cardio becomes more important. So shouldn't you also place some emphasis on high volume zone 2 cardio training.

    You should incorporate all of them because despite relying on the same methabolic pathway they train different caracteristics. For exemple lifting heavy weights trains strengh while plyometric exercices train explosivity.

    In that case, the best program for MMA fighters is CrossFit; the original old school version of the 2000’s & early 2010’s era. Old school era CrossFit would be more than enough for any MMA fighter.
