A Day in the Life of Pro MMA Fighter: Rob "Ruthless' Varricchio

Watch Rob ‘Ruthless’ Varricchio get ready for his coming up fight. Rob has a daily routine that helps him stay focused: he wakes at 7.30, has breakfast and heads to Tiger Schulmann’s Elmwood Park to start his daily training. He trains all the different aspects needed to get him to be the best in the ring.
Once he goes into a fight he completely transforms, he feels that that’s where he’s supposed to be.
After he’s done with his training he switches into teacher mode. Everything he has, he owns to his mom and his way of honoring her is to try and give to others what he received from her. He teaches at Tiger Schulmann’s New Dorp along with Sensei Delany, who was his own Sensei and whom he credits for teaching him so much and for being a crucial figure in his life.
This is a day in his life.

Hi, I have a boy who is very passionate about contact sports (wrestling, muay thai, boxing, MMA) He is 7 years old. I wanted to ask you to tell me what would be the best way to develop his motor skills and to become a complete fighter (if he likes it and further) what would be the order of sports he should follow to develop completely.What motor skills or other things could they better develop now, between 7 and 10 years old, to become a good fighter (which would be harder to develop after that age)? What exactly should we focus on to get the best out of those 3-4 years? Specifically what should and shouldn't we do? Thank you!

First of all your son is very lucky to have a mother like you that is doing research and allowing him to do the sports he wants. I’m no professional but generally a good base would be jiu-jitsu with either wrestling or judo as well as a striking martial art, kick boxing, boxing, or muai Thai. Obviously not everybody can afford all of that so I would say the essentials are jiu-jitsus and any of the striking sports with those 2 alone you can do wonders

[@Yungsmunk]

I would reccomend he focuses alot on jiu jitsu and wrestling at that Young age, beacuse striking technique is a little harder to learn when you are 7 years Old. he should start to muay thai after a year or two of grappling Martial arts. The reason he should start to muay thai is beacuse they have elbows and clinch wich kickboxing doesnt so he learns a little bit more in muay thai that he Can transfer into mma when he is ready to switch over to mma.
