Stance for Mixed Martial artists.

A Fighters stance is how you stand and position your body when fighting .You have to have a solid stance which will allow you to change between striking and take-downs with ease. It also has to allow you to defend strongly against strikes and allow you to defend your opponents attempts to take you down. You have to practice your stance so as to transit between striking and grappling easily. Now the most important bit is you have to keep your hands up to stop you self getting knocked out. When you throw a punch you need to keep your other had up, keep your chin tucked and shrug you shoulders to protect your chin. Remember it doesn't take much of a punch directly on your chin to knock anyone out. Also you have to draw your punching hand back as fast as you punch out. Working on pulling your punches back quickly will speed up your boxing all over.
 Try and keep your feet shoulder width apart at all times if they are too close or too wide the your base wont be solid and you opponent can topple you over and you are just looking to get knocked out or taken down. If you move left move your left leg first then follow with your right and same with moving right, move right foot and then left foot .Take smaller quicker steps rather than big steps.And vary the direction you move in.If you always move in one direction then you opponent will notice and he will have a leg kick or punch waiting for you at some stage. Don't ever be predictable in the ring at any stage.
Fighting is a rapid game and you not going to be able to just stay in your best stance all the time, so you need to have balance.You need to be able to be solid and balanced between movements and when you are been attacked. So practice your balance. Use wobble boards, do balance exercises like one legged movements etc so that you sense of balance is highly developed that way you will be prepared for everything. Practice all movement so to left and right front and back and up and down, Crouch down by bending your knees rather than bending over at your waist .This keeps you in a strong position when going up and down. You should drill your stance as much as every other skill.

Mixed Martial Arts a quick overview of the fight game

(1) Stand up: In MMA when you are standing up facing your opponent you have three main objectives (1) Strike your opponent to hurt or knock him out and block his strikes (2) Throw or take down your opponent so that you can attack with your ground game and to defend against him throwing you or taking you down (3) Apply standing submissions to your opponent such as standing guillotines, and making sure he doesn’t submit you (2) Ground: When you are on the ground and you are on top then you are trying to (a) stay on top and mount your opponent (b) Ground and pound them as hard as you can (c) Apply submissions to get them to tap out If you are on the bottom then you want to (d) Get them in your guard or sweep them so you are on top (e) Apply submissions from your guard (f) Get back up to your feed (g) Defend against their strikes and strike back (3) Cage Movement: You are also constantly working to get into the best possible position within the cage and to get out of any bad positions you may find yourself in. Working on your positioning therefore involves getting youself into a position where you can dominate and getting your opponent into a bad or weak position. This involves smooth and fast foot work and making sure you don’t walk into strikes or takedowns. You have to keep a solid basis and not do things like crossing your feet which will leave you off balance and an easy target. (4) Combinations: Combinations in fighting involves throwing combinations of punches or kicks to inflict damage on your opponent and also setting up takedowns and throws on your opponent. You may throw a jab in order to get in a position where you can crouch down and go for a double leg takedown for example. So MMA is a very complex fighting method where practically every fighting technique can be used and you have to be able to combine all your skills in a fluid and explosive manner in order to be a winner. That’s the reason why mma training is so effective as a method of sports combat and also as a means of self defence. You need to be good at striking and wrestling and jiu jitsu ground work. (5) Fight Strategy: Everyone will have different strengths and you will need to develop a fighting style that will allow you to use your strongest method of attack. Depending on who you are fighting you will have to adapt your fighting method to over come their strengths and allow you to use your strengths. If facing a better striker then you need to be able to defend his strikes and get the fight to the floor if you are better at ground work. If they are better at ground work then you need to develop skills to avoid takedowns and if you are taken down you need to know how to defend ground and pound and submissions in order to get back to your feet and use your superior striking. It’s a game of chess fuelled by aggression and skill and the sheer will to win.
