• Stuck at home without any equipment or gym to
  work with? A true Mixed Martial Artist doesnt
  let his surroundings impact his training or
  spirit. Although we recommend joining an MMA gym,
  if you arent able to do that or if you currently
  cant afford an MMA membership, there are still
  ways to get a good result from a home workout. In
  this guide Im going to show you some of the best
  ways to get a good MMA/Boxing workout from home
  without the use of equipment! This is the
  ultimate MMA workout at home guide.

Train MMA/Boxing at Home

• First things first, youre going to need space to
  do this workout. This could mean workout out in a
  garage, a home gym, or even outside if the
  weather permits. Having the space to naturally
  flow within a shadow boxing session can give you
  the confidence you need in order to pull off
  fighting combos. Also, you dont want to ruin
  your house and there are many risks when working
  out in a smaller or confined area.

Shadow Boxing at Home

• The first thing you should always do is start
  your MMA workout with some shadow boxing. This is
  done best in front of a mirror so that you can
  see your style of striking and the improvements
  you need to make while striking. If youre new to
  shadow boxing, a good rule of thumb is to always
  finish your punching combinations with knees or
  kicks.

6

• If youre a boxer then dont worry about knees or
  kicks, just work on your punching combinations
  and your flow. Visualize the opponent in front of
  you and moved to create angles that could be used
  in a real life situation. Dont be stagnant with
  your movement, allow yourself to be comfortable
  so that you can become more confident with your
  flow.

7

• Your shadow boxing should be set up in rounds
  with non-stop shadow boxing so that you can
  establish a good pace, similar to one you would
  have in a real life fighting situation. You could
  do two rounds of five minutes each, or if its a
  quick workout one round will be enough to get
  your body warm and loose.

8

• I like to wear hand wraps even if Im just shadow
  boxing. I find it really gets me amped up, and I
  end up training longer since I went through the
  ritual and routine of wrapping my hands. If you
  need a pair of hand wraps, I like these ones
  (and here is a video from this brand on how to
  wrap your hands)

9

• Some fighters find it beneficial to do more
  rounds and a shorter duration such as 30 seconds
  one minute, with a 30 second break in between.
  Find the style that works best for you and
  execute. Another great way to warm up before
  stretching is jumping rope, many professional
  fighters/boxers swear up and down that jump
  roping helps establish a good fight flow.

Good Beginner Boxing Combinations

• Do these in both stances if youre trying to
  master your technique in both Orthodox
  and Southpaw.
• 1-2 (Jab-Cross)
• 1-1-2 (Jab-Jab-Cross)
• 1-2-3 (Jab-Cross-Lead hook)
• 1-2-3-2 (Jab-Cross-Lead Hook-Cross)
• 1-2-5-2 (Jab-Cross-Lead Uppercut-Cross)
• 1-6-3-2 (Jab-Rear Uppercut-Lead hook-Cross)
• 2-3-2 (Cross-Lead Hook-Cross)

11

• The reason why we use the wording Lead and
  Rear instead of Left and Right is because
  when switching stances this can get confusing.
  Someone who is trying to master all styles of
  fighting should be able to fight in both Orthodox
  (Left foot first) and Southpaw (Right foot
  first). This is obviously better suited for MMA
  because it gives your opponent a different look
  for takedowns, while in boxing youre only using
  punches and most boxers preferably only master
  one stance.

12

• Good Beginner Kickboxing Combinations
• Jab-Rear Leg Kick
• Cross-Lead Leg kick
• Jab-Rear Head kick
• Cross-Lead Head kick
• Jab-Overhand

13

• Again, the reason MMA Guru uses the wording
  Lead and Rear instead of Right and Left
  is because these combinations are meant to be
  used in both stances (Orthodox and Southpaw). A
  true martial artist should learn both stances so
  that they become a more technical striker, which
  is highly beneficial in a real life fighting
  scenario.
