Weight Lifting for MMA Fighters

Many people going to the gym lift heavy to get big, which is fine, but weight training for boxers and mixed martial artist needs to be a little different.

Warm ups:

Push ups

Pull ups

Dips

Exercises:

Bent Over Row

Upright Row

Military press dumbbell & barbell

Good Morning

Split Squats

Squat & Push Press

Deadlifts

Again, keep the weight light & the movements explosive. Make sure to use Proper Form, we are lifting to get stronger for the fight not to injure ourselves.

Butch’s Boxing & MMA Announces Kids with Special Needs Class in Bayside

QUEENS, N.Y. – June 30, 2017 – PRLog — Kids with Special Needs Boxing/MMA Class

Bayside, NY-June 30, 2017-Butch’s Boxing & MMA announces the beginning of the special needs summer class in Bayside, NY. The special needs Boxing/Martial arts class will start on July 1^st, 2017 & end August 26^th, 2017, with a makeup day on September 9^th.

The special needs boxing/MMA class is geared for any high functioning child with an IEP. The exercises and stretching done in boxing and martial arts classes will help children that have low or high tone. Low/high tone means that the child’s muscles have not developed the same as other kids. Children with low or high tone may have problems with flexibility, balance, walking, and range of motion. The long fluid movements of boxing and martial arts are perfect for helping children with these conditions.

Boxing and martial arts classes for Children that have ADHD or that are on the spectrum for autism can improve their focus, patience, and their social skills which can translate to better performance in school.

The key to a boxing and martial arts program for kids with special needs working is consistency. These programs are excellent for kids that have Cerebral Palsy, Down syndrome, Autism, speech and other developmental conditions.

About
