Core Elements of MMA Training
MMA is made up of several key components, each contributing to the overall effectiveness of the sport. At ADMA, our MMA program focuses on the following areas:
- Striking: You’ll learn various striking techniques, primarily drawn from Boxing, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai. Our instructors will teach you how to throw effective punches, kicks, knees, and elbows while also focusing on defense, head movement, and footwork.
- Grappling: Grappling is an essential part of MMA and involves controlling your opponent, executing takedowns, and defending against submissions. Techniques are primarily drawn from Wrestling and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, providing you with a versatile set of tools to control opponents on the ground or in clinch situations.
- Submissions: The submission aspect of MMA involves joint locks and chokeholds designed to force an opponent to give up. You’ll learn how to apply and defend against submissions from a variety of positions, using leverage and technique rather than brute strength.
- Conditioning and Sparring: MMA is not just about technique it’s about having the endurance and mental toughness to outlast your opponent. Our training includes high-intensity conditioning drills, partner work, and live sparring sessions that simulate the intensity of real fights.
Building Mental Toughness
While MMA is undeniably a physically demanding sport, the mental aspect of the training is just as important. At ADMA, we emphasize building mental toughness and discipline alongside physical prowess. The strategies you learn in the cage like maintaining composure under pressure, thinking strategically during a fight, and pushing through physical exhaustion apply equally well to other areas of life. The discipline cultivated through MMA training can help you develop a stronger sense of focus, patience, and resilience.
