  1. You are only doing technique training 3 days a week for 30 minutes each?   Seems light, but if you have really good technique you may get by - are you taking any classes to learn new technique or just focusing on your known skill set?  I also like to train like I fight - instead of straight 15 mins, go a little harder for 6 rounds 3 min each with a min rest.  My matches are 3 min rounds, so yours may be different.

    What about straight cardio?   I know you get some cardio training with your wrestling and kickboxing workouts, and a little on your circuit training day, but I'd recommend a couple days of hard cardio intervals to increase endurance at high output (90% plus).

    Flexibility / stretching?

    Your weight training workout looks fantastic for muscle endurance and toning without gaining bulk so I'd say that's right on.


  2. you should talk to a personal trainer, most MMA training routines get specific to the person because everyone is built differently...I would go with lower weight and high reps for conditioning if you want to do mma, its not about bulk, and 30 minutes a day is not enough time to work two systems at all.. you should be spending hours on technique.
