MMA Conditioning Coach Certification Program
May 24, 2010 by admin
Filed under Events, Seminars, Training Journal
Since I am a coach/trainer, I am always looking for new training techniques, drills, etc to pass along to my students in their training. As I was searching for some MMA Drills recently, I found that Frankie Edgar’s MMA Strength and Conditioning coach has recently released a book in coordination with a training program. This is something that both students and instructors can benefit from. For those of you who own a school or personal training business, it’s also a great way to incorporate MMA Conditioning into your current curriculum. I watched a couple of the videos, and they are pretty cool. In fact some popular MMA Fighters such as Brandon Vera appear in the videos. For more info, click the banner or read further as I posted info below.
You can train the next MMA champion, or coach people who want to have the fitness and conditioning of a mixed martial artist!
We will teach you everything you need to operate
a highly profitable MMA conditioning business!
Work with pros or weekend warriors.
Make your fitness, conditioning business
or martial arts school stand above all others.
Your opportunities for success are endless!
This world-class program is designed for you if you are one of the following:
•A current MMA coach who want to enhance your skills and give your students the ultimate edge
•A fitness professional who is ready to make your mark in the industry and offer a high-level workout to your clients
•A traditional martial arts school owner who needs a serious business boost, and now want to add some aspects of MMA
•A fitness or martial arts enthusiast who is thirsty for knowledge and wants the latest training and conditioning strategies
•An MMA fighter who wants to live the ultimate MMA lifestyle – train, coach, fight!
The MMACA does not instruct or certify coaches in specific fighting strategies or styles. Fighting demonstrations are given in videos to show application of a specific training/conditioning technique or theory.
