- Jon Jones The Evolution of Look-See-DoThomas Gerbasi, UFC - Jon Jones stood in the Octagon on the night of December 5, 2009, disappointed, but with his head held high. There would be no whining, no complaining, no angry outbursts after his disqualification loss against Matt Hamill, though he probably would have been justified on all three counts. […]
- Inside Jon Jones' killer workoutsAt 22, Jon 'Bones' Jones may be talked about as the Next Big Thing in the UFC, but the phenom's eye-popping abilities aren't an accident. The 6-foot-3, light heavyweight phenom and former All-American Greco-Roman wrestler has a training regimen as unorthodox as the kicks and strikes for which he's known. Each exercise is designed to […]
- Vera Ready to go Retro on Jon JonesMike Russell, UFC - In the summer of 2003, Brandon Vera was standing in a supermarket checkout line and picked up the latest issue of Muscle and Fitness magazine to browse through it while he waited. The cover featured a lean, mean looking badass named Frank Mir, who at the time was touted by many as being "the next big thing" in the UFC. Accompany […]

- James Irvin -Still StandingThomas Gerbasi, UFC - For years before they even made it to the big shows, my buddy and colleague Jason Probst always told me about James Irvin, Scott Smith, and Urijah Faber - a trio of friends and training partners from Northern California that he insisted had the right stuff to make it big in the still growing sport of mixed martial arts. Irvin, now a UFC […]
- Paul Buentello The Headhunter Sharpens His ToolsThomas Gerbasi, UFC - Paul Buentello is old-school, in the Octagon and in life. So the idea of uprooting himself and retooling his game after 36 fights and nearly 13 years in the pro game wasn't exactly embraced with open arms. […]
- Reinventing Eliot Marshall, a Fight at a TimeThomas Gerbasi, UFC - It may have been the greatest compliment a fighter could receive. When talking about his loss to Eliot Marshall last September, Jason Brilz admitted to being totally surprised at how Marshall went from ground wizard to stick and move artist, leaving the veteran out of sorts as he dropped a three round unanimous decision at UFC 103. […]
- Gabriel Gonzaga Energized for Another Title RunMartins Denis, UFC - Seconds prior to Gabriel 'Napao' Gonzaga's most recent fight against Chris 'The Crowbar' Tuchscherer last August at UFC 102, blow-by-blow commentator Mike Goldberg asked the question that everybody wanted to know before the two touched gloves. […]
- The Blueprint: Vera vs JonesMichael DiSanto, UFC - Succinctly stated, Brandon Vera versus Jon Jones is going to be one heck of a scrap. Vera is a guy who likes to fight on the feet with calculated pressure, picking his spots from the outside as he breaks down an opponent with long-range punches and some of the best leg kicks in the business. He is also excellent in the clinch with bot […]

When first learning a new mixed martial arts fighting technique whether at the fundamental level or the more advanced it is important that we chunk it down into smaller, easily learned units. Once easily assimilated chunks are obtained these must be practiced with repetition to learn them. However, just repeating them over and over again in a session has its limitations.
Studies on a simple nervous system have shown that any more than 10 repetitions of a task in a session does not result in any increase to retention, in addition, performing only one session of learning a new piece of material results in very little retention over a long period as those of you who have been involved in training for serious mixed martial arts fighting are well aware.
The most useful method of repetition drilling to gain the most effective retention is to spread the repetitions over a number of sessions.
A method that has shown a great deal of effect is to carry out 7 to 10 repetitions of a particular technique in a training session. And then carry out at least nine repeat review sessions over several days or weeks. The first repeat session can be within the same session. I would suggest near the end of the session. The following one a day after, then a week etc. The closer the review sessions are together the quicker the optimal retention is obtained.
Another common problem, that many of us experience in mixed martial arts fighting and Muay Thai Fighting, is that of boredom when training the number of repetitions required for drilling the techniques adequately. This is detrimental to retention as the learning process is seriously impaired when we are not concentrating.
Disguising the repetitions in drills, combinations and games that utilize the particular skill involved is a very practical way that will assist you to get around this problem and allow you to increase the versatility of game by drilling the techniques with different set ups, combinations or counters being used against them.
Another more fundamental strategy that I use, particularly in working through my Muay Thai Fighting, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Mixed Martial Arts Fighting techniques, is to repetition the techniques as many times as I can until boredom is noticed, recording the number of repetitions performed in my training diary and then repeating the process in another training session. When using this strategy just develop a determined discipline to complete a predetermined number of repetitions. I would suggest a minimum of 60 spread over a 2 year period for maximum retention.
Bear in mind that this is for the learning and retention of a new technique, not the optimal refinement of it for the highest level of effectiveness that may be required for the rigors of competition in both mixed martial arts fighting and Muay Thai Fighting. This requires the development and sharpening of the various attributes required for optimal performance of the technique, such as: speed, timing, flow, balance, connectivity to the next move, variation adjustment, corrections in balance, preparedness for reaction to the opponent’s movement, etc.
Taking your mixed martial arts fighting skill to this level requires many more repetitions and exposing the performance of the technique to increasing levels of risk through controlled and on to random sparring.
To ensure the best learning of the technique start by learning and drilling the technique under totally cooperative conditions to get it right, this is the
retention period discussed above.
Once a good level of efficacy is obtained, then try to use the technique in controlled sparring conditions or controlled performance drills in which your training partner presents moderate problems to deal with. As your efficacy increases start to utilize it in your sparring, at first against less experienced opponents working up to opponents of higher levels.
Using this strategy for developing and drilling your techniques will not only enhance your game but also make repetition drilling far more enjoyable when training for mixed martial arts fighting..

ixed Martial Arts is a relatively new sport that combines every type of martial arts imaginable. The combination of elements, such as Karate, Judo, Tae Kwan Do, boxing and wrestling, create a hybrid that is described as full-contact hand-to-hand combat.
The sport of mixed martial arts started in the early 1990s under the brand of Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and quickly gained popularity. This sport is becoming more and more popular, especially in young adults, as it allows athletes of various martial arts backgrounds to compete with each other.
Mixed martial arts in Baltimore develop your health and body. The training and discipline enrich your mind as well. The sport allows techniques from many styles of martial arts with a common sense approach to training. Styles that can be incorporated are as follows:
Kung Fu – a Chinese martial art that mimics movements from animals, history, legends and myths. Some Kung Fu movements could be Five Animals, Drunken Boxing, Eagle Claw, Monkey, Mak Mei Pai, Praying Mantis and White Crane, among others. Muay Thai – this style is often referred to as the “art of Eight Limbs” because of the added number of strike points. Karate – originating in the Ruykyu Island, Karate is mostly a striking art using kicking, punching and one-handed hits. Boxing – this is a western sport of fighting with the fists. Kickboxing takes it a step further by allowing trading boxing punches as well as martial arts style kicks above the belt. Judo – this sport originated in Japan and is a style of throws and grappling. Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu – focuses on ground fighting. It presents the idea that a smaller person can defend against a bigger and stronger person using leverage and joint-locks and choke hold techniques.
The key to becoming a major player in mixed martial arts is practice. It is not possible to rise to the top of the ranks if adequate hours are not put in at the gym or on the mat. Smart training and practicing are imperative to being a successful mixed martial arts athlete.
