Réflexions martiales d’un Hypnofighter #30 : Combattre de manière spécifique en MMA ?
Depuis l’émergence du MMA, nous nous interrogeons constamment sur la forme d’entraînement la plus intéressante. Nous avons dépassé l’idée de se spécialiser pour ensuite explorer les autres aspects du combat. En général, nous étudions la boxe MMA, la lutte MMA et le sol MMA.

Martial Musings of an Hypnofighter #30: Specific Training in MMA?
Since the rise of MMA, we have consistently questioned the most interesting form of training. We’ve moved beyond the idea of specializing and then exploring other aspects of combat. Generally, we study MMA boxing, MMA wrestling, and MMA ground techniques.
Training specifically in boxing without including clinch work holds no interest, as it’s part of the reality of MMA combat. Similarly, practicing BJJ without being prepared to handle strikes can lead to acquiring ineffective habits.
In general, an MMA fighter is a versatile athlete in combat sports. We’ve grown accustomed to fighting in different styles to test ourselves. However, upon reflection, this doesn’t make much sense. Participating in a grappling competition doesn’t necessarily give us an advantage in terms of MMA progression. It may be enjoyable, but in the context of my interest, which is advancing in MMA, it’s not relevant.
How does a no-strikes tournament better prepare you to handle strikes in your fights? How does training in English boxing in a ring help you when you’re fighting in a cage? MMA has become very specific, and even those who emphasize wrestling often disregard the fact that it’s primarily cage wrestling. This alters basic actions and reactions.
Today, we have enough great coaches and practitioners to train and spar with athletes from our discipline, even if we decide to focus on boxing. The fact that our training partner responds with low kicks or takedowns forces us to adopt a stance and reactions more suited to what we’ll experience on fight day.
For those who watched GregMMA’s video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=844e0HW_xBI), I understand it’s a video for his channel, but his training doesn’t make sense. He’s sparring against Alexis, who manages to pin him against the wall using boxing, which wouldn’t happen the same way in an MMA fight due to the clinch. The same goes for his fight with Wendy, where he doesn’t strike Greg on the ground, leading to dynamics and defensive reactions that don’t match those of a real fight.
I understand the idea of refining technique, but it must be done in the style we practice. MMA is no longer a combination of three disciplines; the fusion of these three areas has produced specific rhythms, possibilities, constraints, and techniques. Engaging in specific training without keeping the MMA form in mind no longer makes sense. If you take a pure boxing class and perform weight transfers with your lead leg like a purist of the discipline, you’ll discover the devastating calf kicks. If you don’t get accustomed to this component, your techniques may be technically correct, but can they be effectively exploited in a confrontation?
Aiming for MMA-specific BJJ focuses more on restraint and escape techniques rather than guard passes and reversals. Of course, if the athlete is already a specialist in a particular discipline like Doumbé, it’s different. But for others, it’s more beneficial to work within their bodily form rather than seeking to be polymorphic.
And you, do you practice multiple disciplines, or do you train in MMA while considering the specifics of each facet?
Take what is good and just for you. Be one, Pank
