Should the MMA warrior focus on the power of the punch or the ability to endure multiple rounds of assault? The debate over endurance versus strength (not to mention technique) continues to rage on among MMA fighters and their fans. What is the formula for an ultimate fighting machine?
If you have caught a recent UFC or Strikeforce bout, you know that we are not talking about Terminator or Rambo movies. These fighters bring an intensity to the ring never matched before in major professional sports. Watching an MMA title bout is not for the faint of heart. Ronda Rousey’s assault on the arm of Miesha Tate will attest to that.
MMA fighters stand to benefit from recent technology introduced by Elliott Fight Dynamics, a glove manufacturer specializing in training materials for fighters of all kinds. The EFD glove utilizes a patented microchip inside the glove that allows you to record the data of every punch thrown. As soon as you land a blow, you can see the type of punch throw, the speed (in mph) and the impact (in pounds of force) right on your computer screen.
Can you imagine knowing the power in every punch? Fighters can make every workout a study in efficiency and set concrete goals for every day they go to the gym using these gloves. Another feature can track the data of a workout. How many calories are you burning? What sort of force are you putting into your crunches and pushups? With this technology, the sculpted MMA fighters might head into the ring stronger and more intense than ever.
The debate will probably rage on for some time. It is clear that a combination of strength, technique and overall endurance is the key to any great fighter. The EFD glove could help you get better in every category.
