MMA training, not for the light-hearted- grueling practice and extreme dedication

Mixed martial arts and their fighters are some of the most defined athletes in the sports industry. Their abilities in every aspect of fitness surpass many other kinds of athletes such as hockey players or basketball players. In MMA training, one strengths their core, agility, endurance, stamina and pushes themselves to unspeakable but possible boundaries. The four areas of MMA fights are standup, clinching, take down and ground.  Form, technique and posture or stance is extremely important in mastering mixed martial arts. Become a better, more educated mixed martial arts student at one of the many schools of Fang Shen Do, Ottawa’s number one school in MMA training.

Fang Shen Do translates to ‘the way of survival’, this is the only option you have when you are attacked or in a real life street confrontation. A lot of people act tough, use weapons as a tactic of fear, but the best weapon you can have against defending yourself is your own body. MMA training is one of the single best forms of martial arts training that can defend you against an aggressor and combatant.  Through vigorous practice and many repetitions, you can learn the skill of not letting anyone mess with you. Don’t just think this, have piece of mind and know and ensure you have the abilities to defend yourself against someone who is trying to hurt, steal, injure or do worse to you.

Hit fast and hit hard. This is an expression that can not be stressed enough, hit as hard as you can and as fast as you can to prevent giving the opponent any chance to strike back.  Until you have taken down your opponent, the fight is not over! An important technique in MMA fights is to almost have it choreographed in your head how you will take down your opponent and it is vital that your goal is to destroy the stance of the opponent. Once you have off-centered their balance and their fighters’ attitude has dissipated, this is when you rely on your intrinsic mental capacities to take you right up until the opponent taps out.

Don’t be fooled, MMA training is hard work and dedication; your respect in mixed martial arts must be earned over time. Martial arts training is no easy job, the entire world is looking for a quick fix or looking to get something for nothing. The body and skills of an MMA fighter and athlete does not come overnight.  If you are willing to step up to the challenge, and be in it for the long haul, join Fang Shen Do to perfect your MMA training and fights.

The last thing to touch on when discussing mixed martial arts, is that no matter which discipline you decide to participate in, respect is key and is the only thing that will aid you to success.  Remember that one learns discipline and respect just as much for you as you do for your instructors.  On one last note, it is essential to the attitude and mentality of MMA fighting that one considers themselves a student rather than a fighter.  One should strive to be a student rather than associated with the title ‘fighter’.  Your ability to fight should expand out of the skills you have learned and capabilities of a dedicated student of mixed martial arts. Anyone can fight; it takes hard work, a lot of sweat, some tolerable pain and extreme commitment to be in the cage and in a real MMA fight.
