This plan is designed for all those who are both beginners and advanced in the MMA are. Let's get straight to it!

 

Training structure

The training plan is divided into two main components: Technique training and strength and endurance training. We recommend training four to six days a week, depending on your current fitness level and your goals.

 

Day 1: Technical sparring & striking

Warm-up (15 minutes): Jump rope or relaxation exercises

Technique training (45 minutes):

-         Boxing (jab, cross, hook)

-         Kick techniques (roundhouse, low kick)

-         Sparring (30 minutes): Light sparring with a focus on technique

-         Cooldown (15 minutes): Stretching and flexibility exercises

 

Day 2: Strength and endurance training

Warm-up (10 minutes): Mobility exercises

Strength training (30 minutes):

-         Deadlift: 4 sets of 6-8 repetitions

-         Bench press: 4 sets of 6-8 repetitions

-         Pull-ups: 3 sets until fatigue

-         Conditioning unit (20 minutes): Interval training (z.B. HIIT on the rowing machine)

-         Cooldown (10 minutes): Stretching the muscles

 

Day 3: Grappling & ground work

Warm-up (15 minutes): Partner exercises for warming up

Ground work (45 minutes):

-         Technology drills (z.B. Guard-Pass, Submission-Transitions)

-         Sparring (30 minutes): Ground sparring, focus on technique and control

-         Cooldown (15 minutes): Mobilisation of the joints and stretching

 

Day 4: Interval training and mobility

-         Warm-up (10 minutes): Dynamic warm-up

-         Interval training (20 minutes): Switch between cardio (z.B. Running, cycling) and strength exercises (z.B. Burpees, kettlebell swings)

-         Mobility training (20 minutes): Focus on flexibility and mobility in the hips and shoulders

-         Cooldown (10 minutes): Relaxation exercises

 

Day 5: Mix & Sparring

-         Warm-up (15 minutes): Jumping rope or light jogging

-         Technique mix (30 minutes): Combination of striking and grappling elements

-         Sparring (45 minutes): Free sparring (striking + grappling)

-         Cooldown (10 minutes): Stretching

 

Day 6: Active recovery or light training

It is important not to overstrain your body here. You can do some light jogging, swimming or yoga to loosen up your body and improve your flexibility.

 

Day 7: Rest day

Rest is crucial for your progress. Use this day to regenerate, keep an eye on your nutrition and prepare for your upcoming training sessions.

 

 

 

Nutrition and supplementation

To maximise your training progress, the right diet is crucial. Make sure you eat a protein-rich diet to build and repair muscle. Supplements such as BCAAs, protein powder and omega-3 fatty acids can provide valuable support. Talk to us if you have any questions about choosing the right supplement - we're here to help!
