Movement training is a training method recently made popular by MMA fighter Conor McGregor. However most people I talk to seem to be really confused about what it is and what it actually does for you. Most seem to think its some new form of experimental training that is fringe at best.

The reality is that movement training is nothing new and if you have ever trained for MMA, Kung Fu, Capoeira, parkour, or calisthenics then you have probably used some form of movement training.

The more recent evolution of the practice has been to isolate movement from the athletic goals that usually overshadow it. And funny enough the result is a form of training that seems to do more for athletes than any other form of traditional athletic training. At least thats been my experience thus far.

This is especially true in MMA, as this sport requires so much variety of movement. An MMA fighter truly needs to be mastered with the use of his body on top of the other demands of being a fighter. In fact Conor McGregor is not the first or only high level UFC fighter to implement modern movement training. George Saint Pierre, Carlos Condit, Michael Venom Page, and Vitor Belfort just to name a few.

This video goes over the basics of the modern movement training practice and should give the viewer a much better idea of what the practice is all about.
