Hello again, MT.
Just before high noon earlier today I finished my first morning training for conditioning and cardio fitness in lieu of my recently-realized desire to enter the fray of MMA. I'm working with Martin Rooney's Warrior Cardio program, and I've just gone through the first few bodyweight and kettlebell super-set circuits. Draining stuff, that.
I'm slowly discovering for myself that training for MMA-specific cardiovascular fitness is worlds away from just training for self-defense in general. Volume and intensity have definitely been ramped up, and although that first session was a real grind it was real fun.
How do you lot here train for sport-specific S&C for MMA? I'd love to get some tips, advice, and maybe compare notes. As is I'm still reliant on material from Martin Rooney as well as from the RKC Community. Your input and sharing of experiences would be most welcome.
Thanks,
Ally
