If you’re asking whats better at preparing you for a fight/self defense scenario then mma is definetly more beneficial. But if you‘re not in shape and don‘t have a decent streng base its useless against aggressive men on the street especially if they are bigger than you. Lifting weights, Looking big and strong helps too cuz it intimidades most guys and you‘ll get respect but sometimes people don‘t care and the fight is unavoidable. So in my opinion its better to train mma and lift some heavy weights here and there than to lift weights and train less mma. Train mma and spar with better guys of all sizes so you get comftable with size differences and gettin beat up and then focus on strength training 2-3 times a week focusing on basic exercises like deadlifts, squats, bench press, pull ups, shoulder press etc. and use high weights with less reps to build up your whole body strength.
What if you’re already aggressive and have a background not just 2-3 years
@@stevenwilliams7041 fact is all MMA guys do weights. Some just once a week. U can only tell the difference when u fight. Eg is it helping u, or r u more tired.
@@boshirahmed I’m trying to get leverage on punches through boxing lifting weights is good here and there but i believe boxing is more valuable especially with multiple attackers I ain’t with that meathead shit chocked too many of them out
@@stevenwilliams7041 not sure about leverage is about technique. I think weights helps with muscular endurance and also making your body stronger, eg if I have big guy punch me, I used to get tired from blocking. I'm just doing both to lose excess fat. Strong arms also helps to block punches better without losing balance.
@@boshirahmed You’re correct but I’ve handled many buff guys at 14 because I had some killer instinct and tendon strength remember those tendons are way more deceiving you can’t tell how strong the guy is whereas muscle mass I can see wether it’s show or go muscles
Very interesting video I have personally been struggling trying to balance Jiu Jitsu, Lacrosse, and Weight Lifting but this is good insight
Even though I don't do martial arts this is still very informative
very intersting video, i am struggling to balance jiu jitsu and my knitting
I'm 42yr old blue belt, 2 years into training and back after 8wks off due to a muscle tear. The injury was completely avoidable, pre injury I was training BJJ 4-6 times a week with minimal strength and conditioning, as a result my body felt constantly beat up. Since being back the new routine of 3 No Gi sessions, 1 wrestling session,1 drilling, 2 S&C sessions and 4 sauna sessions a week has me feeling great. If I don't get good sleep or feel run down I rest and now I'm fine with that, where as before the injury I would go out of guilt and wreck myself further.
Before the muscle tear, were you doing gi?
@@godeater6382 yep mostly Gi. Hated No Gi. But after the injury thought about my main reason for taking up BJJ which was self defence. Didn’t want to be a butt scooting guard puller at the higher belt so have focussed on wrestling and No Gi for the foreseeable future.
As someone who works 7-7 night shifts this hit hard 😫
That's called the grave yard shift
I think it depends on the individual but the point is, if you're really into martial arts your lifting routine and some corrective works are just supplements to make you overall physically fit and athletic. You cannot spar if you're sore because you're doing 100 reps of curls. I think calisthenics is good and kettlebell exercises are good to develop overall well-rounded body who is athletic but at the same time, looking aesthetic although not in par with looks in bodybuilding field.
I like to mix martial arts training with 1. Body weight calisthenics, 2. Mobility/Flexibility routines, with 3. Kettle bell & 4. Slam ball routines. I feel this system is better then complimenting your martial arts utilizing body building or strong man training exercises.
The above routine, how much hours does it take ?
@@shibrik it all depends. Some days I’ll do kickboxing and mobility work, other days I’ll do grappling and kettlebells.
Some days I’ll just lift no martial arts training and some times I’ll just train mma and won’t even touch the weights.
I feel it’s all about finding out what methods work best for you then structuring your workout and training plans to a point where you can have optimal amount of rest so that you can train hard 5-6 days a week with one full day a week dedicated to rest alone.
i feel that bodybuilding exercises and linear strength work have a huge value for martial arts. not because there is a carryover into performance ! but because it is best to strenghten your joints (by strenghtening the ligaments and muscles which hold those joints together) to handle all the forces of the explosive, repetitive and unpredictable movements in fighting, and that in a controlled safe manner. You need it not to produce the force output, but to be resilient against the physical stress.. if you only do fast and light stuff as pt, you are again stressing your body in the same way as it already gets in training… even marathon runners (who do the exact opposite of strenght work) need to lift as crosstraining to prevent one sided over usage
@@osmanacmiyun6023
My coach recommended jumping high = punching hard
So I do jump ropes for conditioning and I will enter my first jogging 🏃♂️ race for my shins 2023.
I love both
I think all compound exercises that include a barbell are a good base for fighters (in a rep range from 5 to 8 so using a weight 60- 70 to your max). Bench, deadlift' squat and barbell row. The trick is to be explosive when you preform the movement (except for deadlift cause that a tricky exercise), for example, on bench slows control the weight down to your chest and once you reach the bottom explode as hard and fast as you can.
Usually during my daily jiujitsu sessions, I choke 5 people out, drink a protein shake, then deadlift 300 pounds, and go and choke 5 more people out. Ive found this to be the best training method.
I’ll sacrifice looking a little more intimidating from being big for being actually functional in a fight any day. I mean even if it’s for aesthetics and looks - most women don’t even like the big body builder look anyways they like the lean meuscular look which training mma tends to give you lol
What’s better for your physical health? Lifting. Whats better for enjoyment and excitement? Subjective but generally mma
It's also very hard to maintain a lot of muscle/body building strength when ur constantly training MMA, BJJ, boxing because u burn so much calories, and ur using different types of muscle groups. I would just stick with one or the other for a period of time to get good in it, then change it up if u want to focus on the other stuff.
You need to lift 3x a week, run 3x a week
In addition to your mma training
That’s where sports nutrition comes in.
You need to utilize carbs in a strategic way to support your work load & recovery is 💯 important.
@@dawg4769lmao no u dont at most 1 weight lifting workout per week is needed
You can never weight lifting too much if you're stretching and resting properly.
Not sure if I agree only volume matters, the quality of the time spent also may matter a lot
lifting is better.. mma is a bit rough.. wrestle also good coz it not involving hitting your face or head.... my choice is sword art like saber or longsword practice. my fav is archery.. i've got good aiming sense since young. i can shot my target without need to aim... i also enjoying javelin throw but i could throw up to 35metre only.. my brother could do 60...
fitness is part of sunnah.
It's not better it's better for you base on your fitness goals.Not everybody has the same fitness goals as you
Maybe for men who likes to be in a beauty pagent id take MMA all day in my country we cant bring swords and bow and arrows to work its not legal I rather have my Natural weapon which is my Body its legal to carry anywhere

This in only for professional athletes. My grandma never did any sport and lived a 100 years in good health.
And I heard someone say that some people do black belts in way less time..
I do one hour of Muay Thai @ 11:00am 5 days per week and FullBody workout 3 days per week @4:00pm 3 days per week. I don't do cardio
Firas is a G
Callisthenics plus MMA will be the best combination for anyone
Excluding movements is never a good thing.
I train mma and lift weights every day but every other day ill do cardio twice a day
People who are usually good in sports can adapt to any other athletic sport ez
No point having big muscles on the outside, if you have a weak mindset on the inside & no self-defense skills
My advice is, only train compound exercises (including bodyweight exercises) that are functional. Focus on stretching and limbering up and strengthening your joints/tendons/ligaments. Train a lot of legs and core and upper back, build a lot of stamina and lift light to moderate weights for a ton of reps.
It'll allow you to use your whole body at once, perfect your technique. Improve your posture, increase your stamina, strength, explosiveness, agility and even speed.
As a by product you'll look good. Couple it with Martial arts, you'll be able to use it to be dangerous and also grow your mental ferocity and discipline, and toughness.
But for arguments sake, all the aforementioned attributes I just told you about can be achieved by a Martial Artist that just does bodyweight exercises.
VS
Body builder lifting heavy weights, fucking up your joints and posture and eating nothing but protein with no carbs getting too big for your frame and not being able to fight because you're a big stiff bodybuilder that taught all his muscles to work separately and you screwed up your joints and have no range of motion. And because you're not in physical confrontation all the time if someone hit you in the face you've freeze up for a few seconds at the very least if you don't end up pissing your pants and backing down your slow crooked arm punch might save you. MIGHT.
But you can take a bunch of pics on insta and maybe get some poon a bit more.
But nothing turns a Woman on more than a dude who is the real deal when it comes to brass tax and she needs to be protected.
That's how I see it, and why I train different and not only that I enjoy the fuck out of Martial Arts (Boxing Kickboxing and Muay Thai included in that). SO much more than working out in a regular weights and cardio gym. I'd rather just do that at home.
Definitely don’t listen to this guy anyone reading this. The last thing you want to do is so high rep shit paired with martial arts. You’ll injure yourself. Your best to do low reps high weight do strengthen you. And what are you talking about bodybuilders eat no carbs… that’s literally the majority of their calories is from carbs. I’m a fighter but I also lift weights and im bulking right now eating 200 grams of protein 580 grams of carbs and 95 grams of fat per day.
Also I’m wonder where people like you get this idea that bodybuilders have fucked up joints and are stiff😂 lifting weights is one of the greatest things you can do for longevity. The only way you’re gonna get big and stiff is if you take ped and literally train and eat like a bodybuilder.
Powerlifting destroys your joints and make you stiff as fk. Mix up your workouts and dont be dogmatic
Not keeping time between food (shakes) for digestion and any type of strenuous exercise messes with your system. No good.
you can learn how to fight in months, you can't win a bodybuilding competition in months that takes years ... lifting first and above all else, then add some basic grappling and striking
MMA anytime anyday u get a well conditioned body ready for a fight weigh lifting is more like a beauty pagent for men plus they cant fight

That is also permissible
muslim mma what the heck???? :0
For what it is worth, Mike Tyson never touched weight in his prime. When he started lifting it was when the downfall started.
Correlation doesn't imply causation.
@@abusumayah9540 for sure, but when the individual themself analyzed their own performance once a new method was introduced and exactly what that difference was it cannot be discredited and has a decent probability.
I think he said in a recent interview he did weightlift when he was younger mentioned doing alot of benching
@@ghengiskhan9308 Mike Tyson?
@@willt3728 ye he did a interview about it not to long ago
