Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Association Certification Now Approved for NESTA Credits for Personal Training

The online certification program offered by the Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Association (MMACA) is now approved for continuing education credits by the National Exercise & Sports Trainers Association (NESTA). These units satisfy all recertification requirements for the NESTA Personal Fitness Trainer program. Rancho Santa Margarita, CA, December 15, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Recognizing the growth and integration of mixed martial arts with personal training and physical fitness, the National Exercise & Sports Trainers Association (NESTA) recently approved the Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Association's (MMACA) online certification program for 4.0 continuing education credits. These credits also satisfy recertification requirements for the NESTA Personal Fitness Trainer program. The online MMACA certification program is designed for personal trainers, coaches, martial artists and MMA participants interested in acquiring both athletic and business skills required for successful mixed martial arts coaching. It combines combat drills, plyometrics, mental training, TRX, kettlebells, aerobic and anaerobic conditioning, sports nutrition, flexibility and more. Mixed martial arts continues to be adopted into a variety of sports as well as popular culture and national TV, so it only makes sense that this special online certification now qualifies for continuing education credits, said John Spencer Ellis, founder of the Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Association. We are pleased with this recognition of the strength and quality of our certification program. Becoming a certified mixed martial arts conditioning coach involves a series of online lectures, video demonstrations, a digital manual, audio lessons and more. The program is 100 percent online and self-paced. In addition to the NESTA continuing education credits, the Mixed Martial Arts Conditioning Association's certification also earns credits through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM), the International Sports Sciences Association (ISSA) and the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA).
