What kind of training for eventually getting into MMA? + post

Only way to get better at martial art is to practice.
Especially when you're starting. By just doing drills/bagwork you're already conditioning your body to the sport.

Jumping rope is great

You're already on the right track, kickboxing is great but muay thai will help with grappling, clinching and take downs more intensively. They are however very similar depending on your coach. That being said, your coach is probably the most reliable source you have, make sure you use them for all they're worth and ask these questions. Keep at it, consistency is key!

I just want to be a strong girl so I want to join muay thai and learn how to shoot so ppl don't fuck with me

Can't say its the best motivation I've heard but as long as you stick with it you'll get where you're going. Best advice I received was to stop looking so serious and enjoy it for what it is. Trust me the rest will come and you won't be worried about it by the time it does.

Generally speaking, conditioning, conditioning, conditioning.
Lots and lots of cardio.
Go easy on the weightlifting. It doesn't help you that much. I'm not sure how weight classes work in MMA but you'd generally try to avoid putting on too much mass, unless you are in the highest weight class. Even then, big bloated muscles will hinder you more than help. Focus on conditioning.

Both of these for conditioning.

Any basic BB routine would be nice too for some basic strength work. I'd replace squats and deadlifts with leg presses and trap bar deadlifts to avoid building fatigue in your low back and overall keeping your recovery rate higher to allow you to focus on your actual sport specific work while still building great leg/hip hinge strength.

How old are you? You're on a right path but be prepared to get your ass kicked multiple times when group practice happens..dont let that bring you down.

getting your ass kicked is motivating.
>man i wanna be that good
is what goes through my mind after i get my shit pushed in at sparring.

>>42127308 This is not me the OP

I'm from the Netherlands so Muay Thai is not exactly popular here. We have our own version of kickboxing. Though my bf does do Muay Thai and teaches me some stuff.

I do bulking and cutting cycles, I'm trying to become more compact, so when I cut down weight I actually have mass that is useful (muscle) rather than just being skinnyfat. I used to be anorexic so I have less muscle mass than an average person.

Okay will do more conditioning and switch some stuff up. Thanks

does it involve wooden clogs?

>>42127705
Hahahaha no! It's more focused on doing combos, lots of boxing and lowkicks, with the surprise high kick or flying knee. It also has some karate elements besides MT and regular boxing. It's more aggressive. We still do clinches, but we just have a greater focus on footwork and punches.
