OUTDOOR TRAINING? | Martial Arts Conditioning Done Differently
You may be wondering how you are going to do MMA training outdoors since you often use a mat.
Well, you are in a for a pleasant surprise. You have options.

10 Ways to Get MMA Fitness & Conditioning Clients
One of the most common questions we get from people just like you is this… “How will I get clients once I get certified?”
Getting clients is not difficult. The only reason people ever have a challenge is one of two things; they either don’t try, or they never do any of the following strategies on a regular basis.

Take Your Skills to the General Consumer Market
You may be missing out on the biggest market for your coaching services.
If you’ve been focused on only elite athletes, you are leaving so much on the table.
Working with elite athletes is exciting and rewarding. And, you also know that they are often broke on the way up. They can barely pay for your services.
On the other hand, someone who likely has more education, a more stable career, and just wants a fun martial arts fitness workout can more easily hire you and keep using your services for a long time.
And, they are going to be much easier to train. You will do less work, and still have a lot of fun. They are thrilled. Everyone wins.

Let’s be honest, you could use some help with your flexibility.
What if you could do rubber guard like BJ Penn?
What if you had the hip dexterity to do kick like Stephen “Wonderboy” Thompson?
What if your back was just more flexible, so it didn’t hurt so much?
What if your shoulders had more mobility so you didn’t tap so fast on an Americana or Kimura?
What if you could finally do the splits?
What if you just felt better before you went to sleep each night?
