Warm-up and Cool-down
Any exercise should start with warming up the body and end with cooling down the body. There are many exercises for warming up and cooling down the body. Generally, warm-up can be done by belly breathing, jogging, and dynamic stretches like arm circles and leg swings. Plyometric exercises like burpees and box jumps may also be incorporated. Normally, cool-down can be done by belly breathing, static stretches like holding each stretch for few seconds or minutes and having friendly conversations with peers in an atmosphere of camaraderie. Keeping the body sufficiently hydrated with water is essential.
Striking
For striking practice, a closed thumb MMA glove is recommended. Your training partner can hold the focus pads, so that you hit them with your MMA gloves. You can also practice powerful knee strikes by hitting the focus pads with your knees. Concentrate on perfecting the technique and then go for accuracy, speed and power.
—Single technique. You can repeatedly practice any single technique like a punch, kick or a block, with MMA gloves and focus pads. Practice successive strikes to improve speed.
—Combinations. Punching and kicking techniques may be combined like a jab-cross-hook-roundhouse kick, for a more intense workout.
—Mobility. Your partner and you can move around constantly, so that you can improve footwork and practice hitting a moving target from different ranges and angles.
—Blocking. Parrying and blocking strikes may be practiced with a training partner.
—Head movement. Rolling, dodging, and slipping the punches can be practiced.
Grappling
For grappling practice, an open thumb MMA glove is recommended.
—Clinching. You may practice different types of clinches while transitioning from one type of clinch to another. Clinches can set up knee strikes, throws, sweeps and takedowns.
—Throws. Hold on to the training partner and practice throws. For maximum impact, throws should utilize the training partner’s momentum.
—Sweeps. You can practice different types of leg sweeps. Concentrate on not losing your own balance while disbalancing your training partner.
—Takedowns. Besides the common single-leg and double-leg takedowns, you may also practice other types of takedowns involving pushing or pulling.
—Submissions. Practice submissions like chokes, arm bars, and leg bars in guard, rear, side control, and mount positions, with speedy transitions between them. Escaping from various submissions may also be practiced.
By combining striking and grappling movements a complete MMA workout can be done with Pacific Sports MMA gloves and Pacific Sports focus pads. While practicing with a training partner, always pay attention to the feedback of the training partner, as it can help you to improve your strikes and grappling moves.
