Medicine Ball Drill to Explosive MMA Takedown Power

Category: Eric Wong,MMA Training Videos,MMA WorkoutsMatt @ 6:01 pm

Thanks for coming back, I appreciate you support! Don't forget to grab your FREE Report! =========>

Here’s the latest video from Eric Wong. Its a killer little vid on using the medicine ball to help develop your takedown power.

Here’s a progression that Eric recommends using if you’ve never done this drill before and you’ve got a good base level of strength from which to develop your power from…

Do the drill 2x/week following the schedule below:

Week 1 – 6 sets x 2 reps, 1-2 min rest
Week 2 – 8 sets x 2 reps, 1-2 min rest

Weeks 1 and 2 help you work your explosiveness and pop without too much fatigue. The key here is not to be too tired – you want to start each set fresh, so take as much rest as you need.

Week 3 – 6 sets x 3 reps, 90 s rest
Week 4 – 6 sets x 4 reps, 60-90 s rest

Weeks 3 and 4 transition to Power Endurance development. A lot of guys will want to do this first – but it’s backwards because how can you develop Power Endurance if you haven’t even worked on Power first?

This little tip is posted under this video on Eric’s Youtube channel and incase you missed my email a week or so ago Eric has also posted an article on his blog about the 3 Keys to Developing Explosive Takedowns for MMA, you can check it out here…

Ultimate MMA Strength and Conditioning Review

Category: Matt @ 6:46 pm

This is my Ultimate MMA Strength and Conditioning Review

This program is designed to help anybody that wants to get involved in MMA, and is also a fantastic resource for an experienced MMA fighter.

It was developed by Eric wong who specializes in training professional MMA fighters, helping them achieve levels of strength and conditioning that they never thought was possible.

Eric graduated with honours from the University of Waterloo’s Kinesiology program in 2004, where he specialized in exercise physiology and biomechanics. He studied under world-renowned back expert Dr. Stuart McGill.

After university, Eric continued his education studying with some of the leaders in the fitness industry, becoming certified as a CHEK Level I Practitioner. He continues to read, attend workshops, and talk to some of the best minds in the game to help his athletes continue to reach higher levels of performance.

Eric also writes MMA related articles on strength training, flexibility, conditioning, and nutrition and produces other content available on the web on YouTube, eZineArticles.com and MMATraining.com.

Eric created this so you can have your very own Strength and Conditioning Coach in your corner. This isn’t just a book – it’s a complete multimedia resource including pictures, exercise videos, and video tutorials – basically EVERYTHING you need laid out in an easy to follow program that will allow you to be strong and powerful for all 3 rounds.

This program is for you if you’re confused about how to train for MMA and you want something that’s efficient and gets serious results that are proven in the cage.

Follow this program and you’ll do strength and conditioning training only 2-3 hours per week, leaving you with plenty of energy to improve your MMA skills

Ultimate MMA Strength and Conditioning Review – What’s In it;

Training Frequency – You will learn how many times a week you should be training, and how many days should be focused on weight training, cardiovascular training, and technique.

Cardio workouts – There are many different Cardio workouts and various methods of performing them. You will also learn which methods are going to be the most effective for a fighter.

Weight Training – Im sure you know the equation Power {(Force × Distance) ÷ Time} represents the product of strength and speed. Most people know how to lift weights in some way, shape or form, but an MMA fighter needs to develop what Bruce Lee called ‘Real World’ power (strength) and not just ‘beach muscles’. One of the main focuses of the Ultimate MMA Strength and Conditioning program is on developing a fighters power using the proper weightlifting techniques and exercises.

Eating the right diet is critical for your energy levels and to fuel your workouts.

You also have a risk free 60 days money back guarantee. Try this program out for 60 days; if for any reason you are not happy with it, you can simply ask for your money back, no questions asked.

I have to say that no element of MMA training is ignored. There are training plans for all levels, so whether you are a beginner or an experienced fighter, you will add to your abilities significantly.

I have no hesitation in recommending this program, and can see why it is the number 1 rated mma training program on the internet and why it is at the top of my list. So many professionals believe that this program offers the best MMA Training Workouts for anyone that wants to gain an advantage in their MMA game.

The Importance Of MMA Conditioning

Category: MMA Fight VideosMatt @ 6:25 pm

I’d like to share this video to highlight the importance of mma conditioning… or conditioning in any sport for that matter. This is an amateur fight I had about 3 years ago. It was one of three that day. I had been trying to cut weight the week previous, aiming at coming in at the under 60 kg class.

It was a five hour drive to the event and so we left at about 4 o’clock  in the morning, and I drove.

I had hardly anything to eat all week , hardly trained and had only one banana all morning. I still weighed in at 61 kg so I missed out on the 60 kg class, which didn’t really matter because there was no one else there in that weight class anyway. So I was put in the under 70 kg class, which most of the other guys cut from about 75 kg to get into.

My trainer Mick had been to the event for the previous couple of years and said that the competitors were mainly amateurs. This year though, the competition was a bit tougher and many of them were semi-professional or training to be professional and trained two hours a day, five days a week.

At the time I was training one day a week!

Considering how ill prepared I was and that it was my first time competing, I was reasonably happy with my performance. I was a little dissapointed at losing the two fights that I did because of;

1) the way I lost both fights was by rear naked and guillotine chokes which I don’t think I had ever been submitted by in training and..

2) that I was doing well in the first fight and was winning the second fight until I gassed out… both in the last ten seconds of the round!

This is not to take any thing away from my opponents who did very well.

Get the Flash Player to see this content.

The rules for this comp where no striking to the head whilst standing and no striking at all on the ground.  Although the no striking to the head rule took away many of the setups, feints and combos that I use, I was sort of relieved for ’cause my head would have been at a perfect height for this guy to snap me with his jab and probably would have given him more things to hit me with aswell.

The video cuts out before you can see it but i catually went to sleep and the ref did not realixe. My opponenet had the choke on for a good ten seconds after I went out!

Lucky for me, Mick was standing close by and realized I was unconscious and stepped in.

Although I was a touch dissappointed with my performance I had accomplished a goal that I had set for myself, which was to have a couple of amateur fights.

I also faced a fear (curiosity?) which I have always had which was being choked unconscious.

I think that I earned some respect and some what ‘stole the show’ that day, being the only guy who didn’t tap out when faced with the prospect of being put to sleep!

So, I hope this helps illustrate the importance of mma conditioning.

I have seen it hundreds of times in the octogon and felt it many times myself. You can be fast, explosive, strong, powerful, technical and all that but if you don’t have any gas in your tank then you may as well have nothing and all your flashy skill set wil be useless!

MMA Conditioning Circuit – NRG System Complex

Category: Eric Wong,MMA Training Videos,MMA WorkoutsMatt @ 10:39 pm

Here is the latest video from Eric Wong with an example of a circuit that he calls the NRG System Complex.

These workouts train each of the 3 energy systems: aerobic, anaerobic lactic and anaerobic alactic, maximizing what you may have heard as power endurance.

The key to these workouts is to focus on good technique of the exercises and push yourself as hard and fast as possible without sacrificing form.

Joe, the guy who is demonstrating the circuit is preparing for his first fight.

He looks pretty puffed after the first 45 seconds. Not to take anything away from him. I’m sure he’s in good shape.

Just goes to show how killer the circuit is.
