Mixed martial arts (MMA) is a fast-growing combat sport, with millions signing up for MMA classes and many more tuning in to “pay-per-view” to watch events. MMA is not for wimps and participants take a real pounding – they must be ready for anything. However, there is one way to predict a winner in any bout: conditioning. When facing an opponent with equal technical skill, the better-conditioned athlete will win – every match, every round, every time. Jason Ferruggia reveals the ultimate conditioning program for the ultimate fighter. By gaining overall strength, stamina, speed and flexibility, athletes can substantially reduce their risk of injury in this intense contact sport. The key to Ferruggia’s system is his emphasis on mat-specific conditioning techniques and included are:- – A first-rate warm up guaranteed to make a fighter more explosive and to reduce injuries – Off-the-charts strength-building secrets – Dozens of exercises to develop crushing grip strength Each exercise is accompanied by black and white photos illustrating proper technique and form.
