Question:What type of equipment do I need to start in MMA?"
- Billie J.


Answer:Being new to MMA is like training for any sport, you must improve your cardio and endurance conditioning, which you can do through jumping rope, running, jumping jacks and use other cardio equipment, e.g. treadmill, elliptical, VersaClimber, stairmaster. For strength and power you should lift weights. Check on-line for some programs for weightlifting. Flexibility and core strength is vital for Muay Thai and Jiu-jitsu training. You can do yoga and Pilates for this.
