All beginners to Mixed-martial arts should utilize the tips we provide here to be successful in the beginning, and make way for a future in the sport whether it be a profession or hobby.
Protect Yourself.
If you think that there is a chance of getting injured in MMA, you're right. As most gyms provide most protective equipment to perform drills, It's usually old gear that is very worn out. One thing you will want to buy for sure is a groin cup for obvious reasons.
It is really cool to learn all the amazing punches, kicks and submissions. Question yourself, how are you going to throw those amazing techniques if you are laying flat on the ground because you couldn't defend a jab? Learn to defend yourself as well as you bring an offensive game.
Think About What You Want To Do.
You are not entering a sport that might kick a ball in your teams net, try to swim faster than you, or try to beat you in a race. You are entering a sport where your opponent will try to put you unconscious. You are in a sport that your opponent is going to try and hurt you.
What you have to do is hurt them first. What you want to do is think about how you are going to defend yourself as you create an offence. Way too often fighters are running around defending themselves and not attacking, and then you see fighters going all out and leaving it all on the line which is good but there is a lot of risk involved there too. Find the medium.
You're Not A Dummy, So Don't Train Like One.
If you are lying out on the floor while your training partner is practicing a submission on you and you're not offering any resistance, then you're not helping anyone. This can often be how new students are injured.
Always apply some of your strength to every part of training or don't bother going.
These are 3 top tips to getting started in Mixed-martial arts. Of course these are only the beginning. A complete MMA strength and conditioning program is of utmost importance to get off to a quick start in the sport.
So remember:
- Protect Yourself.
- Think About What You Want To Do.
- You're Not A Dummy, So Don't Train Like One.
