    Crossfit all the way for MMA. Muay thai would be slightly different. You'd need less explosive strength in your legs than for MMA (for example). If you're not sure what to do though, I'd say crossfit + proper food is a great place to start.

    Good luck.

    Crossfit!!!

    AND Thai boxing training.


    por Pramuk gym do this... Obviously you wont be able to do it all but for the most part they just do loads of thai. A big mistake people often make with martial arts (not that you will but...) they decide to get in shape before coming training which is almost always a huge waste of time.
