@PlatnumBitches: Thanks, youre absolutely right - we normally use a hanging bar (or rings) for that exercise. This apparatus was just more convenient for video.
do you think by watching alot alot of videos that teach mma moves and alike could win you a fight? it just i have a free standing bag to hit, but i cant afford lessons. replies appreciate
@FUCKROCKBOY: every other day at the most. 2-3 times a week is good. always rest at least a day before doing it again. dont do it if youre still sore from the last one.
Man, watching this reminds me of MMA training. 7,000 calories a day, 15 mile runs, sparring 10 times a day with full 5 minute rounds. It's been a while since I've done any MMA, I teach a Krav Maga class now.
@TheTechnoKitteh It would be a little sketchy, but you might've noticed the title says Muay thai & MMA, so both... And you should've also noticed that they weren't MMA gloves because there is no padding, just gloves with open fingers.
@VladislavSiudak: Because your sport may not optimally strengthen all the muscles that it uses – whereas certain conditioning exercises may strengthen and balance the muscles much more efficiently. Lying down allows you to use gravity as a source of resistance, which is why pushups are great for improving punching.
@AlterCenter: Sorry, I accidentally deleted your reply, which was: "I agree. But you can stand up and train your core and that way your strenght and ability to produce force and power will be trained in a sport specific way. :-)" Sport specific exercises have their value and so do non- or less specific ones. It depends on what you are trying to target & train in the athlete – and also what equipment you have. This circuit was designed to require very little equipment.
@beretta83: Wtf do you mean "impersonate"?! I AM Elvis, bitch!! I finally realized I needed to start exercising and taking care of myself more – so now I look much younger and can also fight southpaw...
First distract your opponent with your with your specially trained eyebrows, then cut them open with your sharpened sideburns, and finally...finish him your flavor saver of doom, also don't forget the Tag body spray...this is optional and should only be used by the most advanced of fighters
@refurbished1: lmao! I disagree about the body spray, though. Ever fought with a very smelly opponent? Stinkiness is an effective secret weapon: only the most advanced martial artists are ego-less enough to use it!
Is it allowed to change one exercise for this circuit?
If yes, any idea for an exercise nr 5, to replace the last hip thrust?
I want to replace this exercise for something to overall breath conditioning, or deltoids endurance - would f.e. jump rope, or weighted (1kg) straight punches work well with the previous 4 exercises?
@firdaus125 the sould will vary. Like when big power hits are landed or thrown dont be suprised to hear an "OOOOOIIIII". Sometimes you'll even get a "EEESSSHHH". Its jus to expell the air from your lungs forcing you to maintain your breathing.
Great video, i've done it quite a bit and it kicks my arse every time! Question about the hip bridge thrusts: what exactly is that exercise designed for? is it abs?
@fipzee: Thanks! The "hip thrusts" are to improve power and range for the muay thai push kick ("teep"), by strengthening the glutes and stretching the hip flexors on the grounded leg – while stabilizing the abs/core and stretching the lower posterior chain (calves/hams/glutes) on the raised leg. It's vital that your abs stay engaged to prevent your lower back from arching. Hope that helps!
@riskit4abizkit it also helps control their breathing, so they dont get winded, and also develop the habit of breathing while exercising and fighting. so they dont have to think about it, and keep reminding themselves to breathe.
i don't get it... no offence or anything but i seriously don't get it... What does the 5 of the workout do?? Increase muscle?? Plz do tell me... Thank You
@Warlord343 this is my what i think so may be wrong, its to build your cardio up and help your defense. espacially when your on the ground, he should have an offensive 1 somewhere that should just be bag etc.
it may increase a bit of muscle but should mostly tone you up. hope thats answered your question
@Warlord343 That exercise increases strength around the abs and hips, which improves the hip thrust when kicking (either front kick or jam) - it adds huge power to your kicks when you can coordinate it properly.
@Warlord343 it builds muscle, strengthens your core- which is where most of the power comes from when you punch. and also is to help increase control for kicks. his legs should be fullyextended, but im sure he's working on it.
@PurplePanda41: Thank you! Martial artists, and most other athletes needing to act powerfully know to consciously block and then expel their breath to increase abdominal/core tension as they produce a peak effort. This allows them to first internally stabilize their midsection and then powerfully transfer energy through it to move their extremities (eg, strike the ground/opponent or object), or diffuse the force of an impact (eg, when landing or getting hit).
@AlterCenter your right about the breathing, to increase the strength in both attacking and core, but he does not need to breath that much, when working out you need to breath out on the tension part i think it is, where as he is breathing out basicly throughout the movement, you can tell its not right because as he does more repetiions, he changes where he does the breath
I exhale like that cuz it's like relief , like its hard to explain when your trying something hard like a chinup rollover its like air building up IDK but it's a weird feeling, hahaha.
@PurplePanda41 you get less tired if you make "swoop noise"....you should breathe with each strike...if you don't...your kicks or punches have no power
@PurplePanda41 it also helps control their breathing, so they dont get winded, and also develop the habit of breathing while exercising and fighting. so they dont have to think about it, and keep reminding themselves to breathe.
I'm 67 years old, have been working out for over 50 years and have studied; 4 different styles of Karate, akido, boxed in the golden gloves, and wrestled in high school.
My question is, between the circuit training days, what kind of heavy bag routine would be recommended. I do not want to compete, just stay in shape.
@tomstm: a basic ~45-60min Muay Thai routine: 0] Jump rope/shadowbox to warmup. 1] 3-5 rnds on thai pads or heavy bag - mix up attacks, combos, movement, timing. 2] 2-3 rnds boxing/elbows on mitts/bag. 3] 1-2 rounds leg/low kicks (if you have 6'+ bag). 4] 2-3 rnds drill specific muay thai combo(s) 5] 1-3 rnds drill punch/elbow combo(s). 6] 1-2 rounds "teep/push kicks" on bag 7] 1-3 rnds knees on bag. Start easy & work your way up: 2-3min rounds, 30-60sec rest. Pace yourself to finish strong.
more than 50 years of training.....wow that is something!You must look very muscular!I am envious without even seeing you! You must be extremely fit....I wish I was,too.....I have been doing Muay Thai for 1 month. Warmups are gruelling I have to say:-)))))
@tomstm: build up to 3x/week, for 4-6 weeks (after which point you should change exercises). best to avoid it if muscles are (still) sore/tight/fatigued from previous workouts. The circuit doesn't make you stronger: adequate recovery does from it does. Wait till you feel strong before you hit it again.

Although your training is quite effective for looking sharp at the beach, you fail to learn the key centre of balance and goose neck positions. I may share advice of value soon
@Conquergod444: Since MMA involves trying to hurt your opponent, I'd recommend first building a solid base of general & functional fitness -- maybe 3-6 months worth, if you're dedicated (3x/week+). Work on your flexibility, balance, strength, core and cardio. It should also include fixing and safely strengthening your knee. But, you should consult with a doctor/chiropractor to get their advice on what limitations you might have, both with fitness and combat training.
@AlterCenter Thanks, I have Osgood Schlatters so i think i ned that sorted out first, I also have some asthma troubles recently, i guess i just needed a goal, tyvm :P I have always been interested in martial arts, but other things have got in the way, now I kinda wanna go for it :P
@Conquergod444: martial arts and fighting are all about making the most of what you've got when you're against the odds... so go for it and do it smart.
@mladenbla I am 26, started Judo training 4months ago and i am doing awesome. Everyone says at least and they are for real. You are never old to start if u have will do push on.
@mladenbla exactly a person is never to old to start something, especially if they think what they want to start will be fun. I'm 20 and i just started judo, i already know Taekwondo and Muay Thia. So just follow your heart and it will show you the way.
SO intense! I can do all of them except the pull up one-- does anyone have a modification that I can do until my strength is up enough to do that one?
@AlterCenter : okay thanks i had to look back a ways but I found it! thanks for posting this workout it is definitely going to come in handy when I don't have much time for a long cardio workout!
I'd say a good modification for the Rollover Chin-ups would probably be the Renegade Row with hex dumbbells, because it is also a pulling and core exercise rolled into one. Be conservative with the weight of the dumbbells though, and study the proper form thoroughly.
@esbatario: it's not uncommon among athletes (esp sprinters) to need to empty their stomachs during high intensity exercise if theyve eaten too recently. but youre probably right for most people - best to recover yourself first. it was a bit tongue in cheek but I now know better than to assume people will do what's best for them. thanks and sorry for the mislead.
exercise number 3 is bad for your spinal disks. Just one that goes more than your standard motion movement will destroy your spine. that i was told by the doctor =)
@ademb13: thanks for the caution. #3 doesn't go beyond the 'standard' range of motion for a fighter: hooks & throws, for example, involve considerable spinal rotation. loaded twisting can be dangerous if the core-stabilizers are weak & the spine is not straight. combat training has to prepare the athlete for ranges of motion and forces that they will face during competition... not training those motions will only be a vulnerability when the fight requires/forces them into those positions.
@AlterCenter yes thats also true. as a fighter myself i choose not to do that exercise because it trains your obliques and there are so many other exercises that train your obliques. i just substitute it with a hanging side leg raise. its much more effective for explosive hits
I couldn't execute the power Squat Thrusts using the medicine ball the first try. I cheated it by performing the exercise without it while integrating a pushup. The rollover chinups were a challenge as well...I'm a girl, and chinups aren't something I'm effective at yet, but the rollover part was do-able. The last 3 exercises were challenging, but I was able to execute.....Practicing the medicineball move to execute next week! Awesome Cuircuit! Thanks for sharing it AlterCenter!
@carolinedecastillo: thanks and good job for respecting your current limits. it's not "cheating" to avoid doing what you cannot do with good form. cheating is forcing yourself to do an exercise that your body cannot safely handle. strength is a skill - good practice makes perfect. practicing poorly makes you perform poorly and get injured besides. And, that rollover chinup is brutal for most everyone when done for speed for a minute!
@dopekick: sure - 1] lie on your back with your arms and legs fully extended, holding a med ball in your hands. 2] swing the ball up and forward over your chest (kinda like a soccer throw) and sit up with the momentum so you can slam it down between your knees. 3] swing it back to start and, when it hits the ground, pull your knees in to your chest and roll up onto your shoulders. 4] roll your hips back down and kick your legs back out to full extension. 5] start again. make sense?
i know the guy is a champion but really his breathing technique is wrong he shouldnt be hissing at everything this will make him gass out sooner, or is that what he is trying to do?

Although your training is quite effective for looking sharp at the beach, you fail to learn the key centre of balance and goose neck positions. I may share advice of value soon

Hey, i would like to start this but my fitness isn't great at the moment and i have a bad knee, could i still do MMA at all, even training??
Conquergod444 1 year ago
@Conquergod444: Since MMA involves trying to hurt your opponent, I'd recommend first building a solid base of general & functional fitness -- maybe 3-6 months worth, if you're dedicated (3x/week+). Work on your flexibility, balance, strength, core and cardio. It should also include fixing and safely strengthening your knee. But, you should consult with a doctor/chiropractor to get their advice on what limitations you might have, both with fitness and combat training.

@Conquergod444: martial arts and fighting are all about making the most of what you've got when you're against the odds... so go for it and do it smart.

@mladenbla exactly a person is never to old to start something, especially if they think what they want to start will be fun. I'm 20 and i just started judo, i already know Taekwondo and Muay Thia. So just follow your heart and it will show you the way.

SO intense! I can do all of them except the pull up one-- does anyone have a modification that I can do until my strength is up enough to do that one?

@AlterCenter : okay thanks i had to look back a ways but I found it! thanks for posting this workout it is definitely going to come in handy when I don't have much time for a long cardio workout!
allexxx0191 1 year ago
I'd say a good modification for the Rollover Chin-ups would probably be the Renegade Row with hex dumbbells, because it is also a pulling and core exercise rolled into one. Be conservative with the weight of the dumbbells though, and study the proper form thoroughly.

If you feel the need to puke then do so but keep going? I thought that was harmful for your body

@esbatario: it's not uncommon among athletes (esp sprinters) to need to empty their stomachs during high intensity exercise if theyve eaten too recently. but youre probably right for most people - best to recover yourself first. it was a bit tongue in cheek but I now know better than to assume people will do what's best for them. thanks and sorry for the mislead.

exercise number 3 is bad for your spinal disks. Just one that goes more than your standard motion movement will destroy your spine. that i was told by the doctor =)
ademb13 1 year ago
@ademb13: thanks for the caution. #3 doesn't go beyond the 'standard' range of motion for a fighter: hooks & throws, for example, involve considerable spinal rotation. loaded twisting can be dangerous if the core-stabilizers are weak & the spine is not straight. combat training has to prepare the athlete for ranges of motion and forces that they will face during competition... not training those motions will only be a vulnerability when the fight requires/forces them into those positions.
AlterCenter 1 year ago
@AlterCenter yes thats also true. as a fighter myself i choose not to do that exercise because it trains your obliques and there are so many other exercises that train your obliques. i just substitute it with a hanging side leg raise. its much more effective for explosive hits

I couldn't execute the power Squat Thrusts using the medicine ball the first try. I cheated it by performing the exercise without it while integrating a pushup. The rollover chinups were a challenge as well...I'm a girl, and chinups aren't something I'm effective at yet, but the rollover part was do-able. The last 3 exercises were challenging, but I was able to execute.....Practicing the medicineball move to execute next week! Awesome Cuircuit! Thanks for sharing it AlterCenter!
carolinedecastillo 1 year ago
@carolinedecastillo: thanks and good job for respecting your current limits. it's not "cheating" to avoid doing what you cannot do with good form. cheating is forcing yourself to do an exercise that your body cannot safely handle. strength is a skill - good practice makes perfect. practicing poorly makes you perform poorly and get injured besides. And, that rollover chinup is brutal for most everyone when done for speed for a minute!

One quick question, if I haven't got a pull up bar, what can I replace exercise number two with?
dopekick 1 year ago
@dopekick: sure - 1] lie on your back with your arms and legs fully extended, holding a med ball in your hands. 2] swing the ball up and forward over your chest (kinda like a soccer throw) and sit up with the momentum so you can slam it down between your knees. 3] swing it back to start and, when it hits the ground, pull your knees in to your chest and roll up onto your shoulders. 4] roll your hips back down and kick your legs back out to full extension. 5] start again. make sense?
