MMA
Every range — striking, clinch and ground, and the transitions between them.

Programs
The hardest hour of your week is the one you will look forward to.
Standing, clinch and ground: three sports that mean little apart and everything together. It rewards honesty and finds out everybody else, which is why people who train it long enough become very difficult to rattle anywhere in their lives.
What it is
MMA trains three ranges and the transitions that connect them, which is the hardest part and the one that decides most fights. Strength, grappling and conditioning are all part of the work, not extras.
Who it's for
Anyone who wants the complete combat skill set, whether or not they ever compete.
What to expect
Your level assessed range by range, a progression weighted toward your weakest, and transition work introduced at controlled speed before it is done at full.
Why it matters for your health
Conditioning across every energy system, plus the discipline of training with partners safely, which is a skill of its own.
What MMA asks of you
The same four measures across all fourteen disciplines, so you can compare them honestly before you choose one.
Strength
85/100
Endurance
90/100
Mobility
70/100
Recovery

Everything that supports your training, from the Sport Coaching shelf. Products are organised by goal rather than by discipline, so the same protein serves your mma and everything else you do.
Three things worth knowing
1
The transitions are the sport
Most people train three separate skills. The fights are decided in the seconds between them.
2
Drill your worst range
You will naturally spend your time where you already feel good. That is exactly the wrong instinct.
3
Look after your training partners
Your progress depends entirely on them being healthy. Going too hard in the room is training against yourself.
