I gotta call mostly BS on this stuff. maybe 30 minutes of each of my training sessions happens to coincide with this stuff. But I don't recommend a semi or pro MMA fighter dedicating three 1-hour sessions per week to this stuff.
Think about it: Condit just lost a razor close decision. Had he spent those extra 3 hours per week on cardio, power, technique, etc. instead of climbing trees barefooted, he would have had a higher probability of winning that fight.

Movement, Yoga etc helps make an individual better and more efficient in their everyday life. That's more important for an athlete in their down time cause they need to recover from the other aspects training.

I'm a firm believer that Yoga makes me better at everything. I'm at my best by far when I keep up with my yoga practice.
Not sure about movement, but if it is anything like the benefit I get out of yoga, it is a positive.

Bruce Lee was a professional dancer. Probably the reason for his flowy "like water" movement haha

My daughter would agree. So would countless elite athletes that have incorporated it into their regimens. The movement guys haven't reinvented the wheel either, just opened their minds to what has always been there.

It's not going to be a defining factor in a fight, but it's doesn't seem like the worst thing in a world. Particularly how Conor was using Ido, staying active during fight week but not exerting too much energy in the gym.

There's also only so much punishment you can do to your bodies through sparring, hitting pads, rolling, lifting weights, or even running. These things allow you to exercise, gain flexibility, and learn to use body mechanics without punishing your body. It's probably particularly good for those obsessives who would otherwise be spending the time overtraining.

the more movements your body is capable of, the more complex patterns your brain can handle.
this s--- is legit.

Legit, but it would be useless for some fighters. You have to train in relation with how you fight.

which is why every movement coach preaches specificity. every program is different and has to be crafted for what that particular fighter needs.
i dont see how this would be useless for anyone

But would you set aside more than one training session per week on this stuff? Would you pay extra for a "guru"?
