(1888PressRelease) September 27, 2011 - In recent years, MMA or mixed martial arts has exploded from cult following to ESPN and SPIKE TV regular. As the intense sport continues to grow, so does the business of coaching MMA athletes, which is why the Mixed Martial Conditioning Association created the Certified MMA Conditioning Coach (CMMACC) training, designed to help coaches and trainers develop both top athletes and regular fitness enthusiasts looking for a new challenge.

Appropriate for personal trainers, coaches, martial artists and MMA participants, the online training includes video demonstrations and lectures, a digital manual, test prep and self-paced learning for those interested in developing the business and athletic skills required to coach MMA. In addition to the business of MMA training, the Certified MMA Conditioning Coach program focuses on combat drills, plyometrics, mental training, TRX, Kettlebells, aerobic and anaerobic conditioning, sports nutrition, flexibility and more.

"MMA is more popular than ever, which is why we developed the certification process for coaches," said John Spencer Ellis, founder of the MMA Conditioning Association. "This unique certification is designed to help people develop a profitable MMA conditioning business, whether they're working with seasoned pros or weekend warriors interested in trying mixed martial arts."

The MMA coaching certification is valid for two years, and the program also includes continuing education and business resources.
