Fight Skills

Fight skills is the technique shelf: the work that is not a lift and not a run. Alex Pereira’s kickboxing, Islam Makhachev’s wrestling and sambo, Dillon Danis’ Brazilian jiu-jitsu, both of Conor McGregor’s pieces (the boxing sessions and the MMA overview), and Jon Jones’ Muay Thai and mat drills. Read them when you want to see how a camp spends the skill hours.

The MMA hub is the combat umbrella if you want those skills in one sport. Boxing, grappling, and wrestling split the same athletes by discipline. This page splits them by intent, so a wrestler and a kickboxer sit on one list.

Strength and conditioning are the physical support. Mobility is how McGregor and the others keep the skill sessions from breaking the week. No striking drill here replaces the full article.

Start with Pereira’s kickboxing — the striking base before the octagon.
