Plan Your Year At Scranton MMA

2014-12-11T08:55:45-05:00

With the new year quickly approaching I would like to make a suggestion for everyone who trains at Scranton MMA and that is to make a plan for 2015.  Most people think that a year long plan would only benefit professional fighters or very dedicated competitors but that is simply not true. Having a plan can help everyone who trains at the academy.  Your plan can be very detailed down to what moves or techniques you are going to work on or it can be a very high level plan with just a few goals.  Either way we have found that […]
