If you want tough Ill show ya tough!

Not exactly the best form ive seen striking wise! Guard right down by his chest and the first kick he throws is shocking! I also wouldnt consider:

3 Sets of :
1,2,3,4 punches
kick, kick
knee knee

Do this as fast and powerful as possible.

Repeat 3 times without rest.

To be a warm up. maybe 2-3 rounds of Bas Ruttens Thai Boxing workout, on either a heavy bag or with 2-3lb hand weights would be a much better warm up. I dont think the g&p followed by bag slams is the most intense workout either. A better option would be to keep switching position while doing g&p for one minute. follow that with heavybag shouldering for a minute, and repet that sequence 3 times without rest then you have a descent warm up.

Yours,

I have got some genuinely good core stability/strength/endurance ideas form some really good websites.

Synergy Fitness is a good start folks.

Core training is so wide an varied you can never get bored or run out of ideas!!

Theres your functional strength training that develops core strength (kettlebells, sandbags, indian clubs etc), medicine ball routines, TRX, Olympic rings, body tension (plank and prone exercises), bodyweight exercises.....the list is endless.

Happy hunting folks.

I don't think additional core work is necessary unless you have a weakness. There is enough to fit in with everything else in MMA. If you're wrestling, grappling, kickboxing etc, your core gets plenty of work, let alone additional work like strength training etc.

Judo and gi work is best for core. Cause you keep getting pulled forward..

Was thinking the same thing...

were do people get the time to do all this training?

a full training schedule ie: kbox, grappling/bjj, wrestling....plus try keep a job, the mrs, do some running, some cond, and now core work??? Somethings gotta give!!!
