Why Beginners MMA Classes Are So Important

Due to the fast-rising popularity of Mixed Martial Arts, there are more and more MMA schools opening up all the time. The drawback to this popularity is that potential students must be careful to look at the programs offered, the qualifications of the instructors – and make sure that the school has a dedicated program for beginners. Many inexperienced instructors or fight trainers throw all students, even new students, into the same classes. This is a mistake on a number of levels.

Mixed Martial Arts can be extremely complex to learn if it is not taught correctly, with a carefully developed curriculum and well-structured learning environment. This is why having beginner-only MMA classes is so important. A strong curriculum will help students to develop the fundamental skills as well as the sports-specific physical conditioning they will need to progress and reach their goals.

When new students are thrown into MMA classes with more advanced students and competitors, they are not able to focus on proper skill development. Instead, they have to worry about just surviving the workout. This is not conducive to proper learning.

It’s also important to note students are interested in Mixed Martial Arts classes for different reasons. Some are more interested in fitness benefits through an exciting activity; others are interested in self-defense, competition, or stress- relief.

Most MMA schools do not account for these different motivations and lack the structured curriculum and beginners’ classes that allow students interested in these various benefits to reach their personal goals. That is why finding a reputable school with classes designed just for beginners to learn correct technique and get in shape at their own pace from day one is so important.

A great Mixed Martial Arts school offers avenues for all students to achieve their goals – competitors and non-competitors alike. MMA offers many benefits, including weight and fat loss, realistic self – defense skills, increased confidence and motivation, physical conditioning, self-discipline, and more.

In a program without dedicated beginner’s classes, however, many students find themselves in an environment that caters only to those who want to fight. Students who might otherwise enjoy these benefits often quit because they get “beaten up” in their classes instead of learning the fundamentals.

The most important key to success in martial arts is to enjoy what you are learning and have a program that is in line with your goals.

Mixed Martial Arts training should be challenging, but it should also be fun for the students. Without the proper progression, students too often wind up getting injured, over -trained, or discouraged and never reach their full potential.

A well-researched approach to training will start beginners off with a program that allows them to absorb what they are learning and recover as they develop their skills and conditioning. Once the student is comfortable with these basics, they can then increase the number of days/ hours per week that they train.
