When it comes to fight conditioning a fighter has to be light on his or her feet. When an MMA or Thai fighter is in the ring they are floating around the ring looking for an opening to strike their opponent at a moment’s notice.

Jump Rope Or Skip In Place:

This type of movement demands that the fighter is light, quick, and agile. The only way to be light, quick, and agile is to practice training movements that enhance reaction time and the act of rebounding the feet off the ground quickly. Skipping and/or jump roping is a low grade plyometric that trains the fighter to do just that.

Recommendation: I would recommend practicing skipping in place/jump roping for the duration of a respective Muay Thai or MMA bout. In other words a Thai fight can be set with a 3 to 1 ratio meaning each round is 3 minutes long followed by 1 minute rest between rounds. An MMA round can be up to 5 minutes long with 1 minute rest. Knowing this I would practice skipping/jump roping with this same work to rest interval in play.
