Final Thoughts
About the Book
For the better part of a year, I’ve had the pleasure and honor to be able to write for the MMA Fight Council, a prestigious organization dedicated to everything MMA. For the past twenty years, I’ve been an avid martial artist, studying, teaching and sharing my knowledge. For more than forty years, I have dedicated my life to the study and practice of Yoga in all forms, both for sports and therapy. Then, a decade ago, with a passion for the MMA fighters I watched during the evolution of cage fighting, shoot fighting, and the UFC, I began studying what worked best for Mixed Martial Arts, teaching it to students who were endeavoring to become fighters through Brazilian Jiujitsu and general mixed martial arts training.
MMA Yoga On The Mat is a composition, a selection from the body of my knowledge that seems to best compliment the repetitive sports injuries, flexibility and minor problems encountered by these new age gladiators with whom I’ve had the pleasure to share the mat.

First Section:
General Conditioning
General Conditioning: Hips-Shoulders-Neck
Three target areas of stress that I am often asked about are the Hamstrings, Hips and Shoulders. It is by no mistake that many boxers will enter into the ring, step into their corner and start hanging over from the waist to shake out their shoulders. It’s natural. Your body is always trying to align or repair itself and working with gravity is always better than working against it. I’d love to be able to be in the corner with my favorite fighter the next time he steps into it so that I could help him loosen up for a better fight. Since I can’t do that, I’m just as happy describing what you can do pre-fight. Let’s take a look at the MMA Standing Pre-Fight Tension Reliever:
Stand with your feet no more than a foot apart.
Take a deep breath, As you exhale, flex your knees slightly, drop your head onto your chest and let your shoulders follow. Let yourself hang forward from the waist.
Take a moment to shake out your shoulders, then let them hang.
Make sure you aren’t holding tension in your neck. It should flop back and forth were someone were to tap it lightly.
Breathe trying to expand your diaphragm outward. This is going to give you better respiration during the fight.
After 1 minute, begin to slowly come to a standing position again, while you uncurl, in by inch. Take a deep breath to finish. You’ve successfully relaxed and stretched all three tight spots. Go win!
