Mix Martial Arts involve multiple joint and muscular movements. For example, look at throwing a punch: the fighter starts with legs pushing the power through the body, through to the hips, which generate the most power, the core is tight, shoulders for arm endurance and arms for the delivery of the punch. Just think all of these movements for one single punch.

The MMA world involves participants from multiple disciplines. Because of this we have to train with this key point in mind. Each discipline requires the athlete to be proficient in that skill but also possess specific strength, endurance and conditioning as well.
