Today, I have tried MMA Techniques🙅‍♀️. Stronghold MMA is a best place where you can do gym as well as Martial arts. Seriously i want to spend all of my time there only. 😇😇

I know it may seem obvious to most of you, but Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) is one of the most beneficial things you can do for self defense. Not only is MMA good for self defense, but it’s also great for fitness, confidence, physical health, and even mental health. I understand how beneficial MMA can be first hand as I’ve personally trained all forms of MMA, Muay Thai, and Jiu Jitsu. Of course every situation is different, MMA fighters perform in a cage while real life self defense situations can happen anywhere and don’t involve a referee. This is why many self defense experts advocate against MMA for self defense, they claim real life situations can’t be applied to MMA training. However I disagree, MMA has many useful techniques that are great for self defense. Boxing and Muay Thai are both great for stand up techniques, while martial arts such as Brazilian Jiu Jitsu are great for mastering grappling and submission techniques.

Strength and conditioning workouts aren’t just great for all-round fitness; they may help with injury prevention as well. I think you should also include Pull-ups Pull-ups help build upper body strength by developing the muscles in your upper back. These are essential for those pulling motions in jiu-jitsu when you control your opponent, as well as for the clinch in Muay Thai and MMA. Push-ups You can’t talk about strength and conditioning for martial arts without mentioning the humble push-up. This is useful for the striking arts, as the pushing motions help build strength so you can put more power behind your punches. Burpees The action of sprawling and jumping back up to your feet mimics many of the level changes you will have to do for grappling. Overhead Presses where you lift kettlebells or dumbbells over your head from your shoulders – will help strengthen those deltoids. You need strong shoulders to help you keep your guard up, especially when you’re fatigued. Deadlifts Deadlifts activate your glutes, hamstrings, lower back muscles, and core, and are great for BJJ because they help strengthen your grip at the same time. For deadlifts, the focus should always be on good form, so don’t go too heavy when you first start out. Squats With A Barbell Another essential workout for leg day, doing squats with a barbell activates your core, quads, glutes, and hamstrings. As always, the focus should be on form. Thrusters Thrusters help train your explosiveness and cardiovascular fitness. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the barbell just in front of your shoulders.
