Muscle Endurance For Mixed Martial Arts
If you have ever done a mixed martial arts match you know how important muscle endurance is to the success of your match. Being a mixed martial artist you use two different groups of muscles when your fighting, one with your stand up game and the other when you are grappling. So gearing your training around these two concepts is vital to your success.
So how do you go about gaining muscle endurance and strength to help you elimate fatigue to out last your opponent? By performing isometric exercises, lets use push ups for an example. Perform them in a slow controlled manner, from the start position lower yourself on a 5 count till you nose hits the floor, hold the postion for another 5 count then begin raising yourself on a 5 count and repeat, if you find that a 5 count is easy increase it to a 7 count instead.
You can also use slow and fast muscle twitch exercises while performing your isometric exercises by when coming up from the push up position instead of doing it on a 5 count do it in a quick exposive manner. You can also vary your speed, timing, hand positioning, use free weights to give you more varity in your exercise routine and better work your entire muscle group.

True, a marvelous muscle endurance is the key to success in a MMA fight, but in my opinion is, without the techniques that can end the match in your favor, the endurance you've worked so hard for will be wasted.
MMA is not like a boxing match as my friend who is an ex-amateur MMA fighter said to me, the way to win a match is to do it in a explosive way, while holding off your own ground. Even at his retirement match, he has shown that kind of ideal, though he was kicked in the mouth that made some of his teeth fly away, but my friend capitalized the move and turned it into gogoplata, which led to his final win by submission.
Though with the victory, he was pretty surprised by how his teeth went missing, though he wore a mouthpiece. Then we visited the Fort Lauderdale sedation dentist to ask for a solution of the problem, but first he went for check-ups to check further damage to his mouth, and luckily, there was none. We returned to the Fort Lauderdale sedation dentistry for the solution, they told him that there is no damages and dental implants should do the trick to restore his teeth.
