2 days a week sounds fine to me, what are you traing for fights, grappleing tournaments, just for skill development or "fun" lol
second how long are you training per day in mma or grappeling? are you running? are you lifting or doing some type of resistance training? without knowing 1. your total amount of time spent training in ma and 2. how much conditioning work and what you exactly are training for it's hard to say, also 3. how long have you been training all together months weeks years ect?

It’s hard to say mate with overtraining cos only you know how you feel if you know what I mean. Training, diet and preparation are very much interrelated and should be considered in totality. I know a good site winyourmmafight.com which gives a Blueprint That Reveals The 3 Keys To Successful Training, Diet And Preparation For Victory In An MMA Fight!
Hope this helps.

I used to train so much more than you and I was fine.

2 and a half hours monday night no gi/mma
1 and a half BJJ tuesday day, 1 and a half tuesday night
Submission wrestling 1 and a half wednesday
1 and a half No-Gi BJJ thursday day, 1 and a half bjj thursday night
Hour of boxing/Hour of Jitz every Friday
2 and a half hours bjj on saturday
1 hour boxing, 1 and a half hours bjj on sunday.


Now I didnt have a job or school at this point, so I would go home and sleep in between these things, well sleep/eat... and I dont know if you can do that... sometimes I would get a little burned out and maybe take the wednesday off.. or the friday, but yeah, its definetly all about how hard you want to work. I wish I could be doing this now, but I have a job and university, so I maybe make it in 3 or 4 times a week, oh and I live like 80 kilometres away from my gym, so factor that in too.


You can be training harder, your body will adapt.

Hmm this brings up an interasting point there are various site that give advice for the amount of time one should train/condition for a fight and many people don't agree with eachothers approach plus people are different physically and mentaly so how would a person find the best approach for them. Experience is also a factor people who have train very hard for years can simply do more traing in a day than a beginer, I was amazed at the amount of training I colud due per day due to years hard work. But it takes time to get there. That's why the oylmpics are held once every 4 years. No matter what thought make sure to take one day off per week where you do no physical exercise your body needs atleast 24 hours of complete rest or you risk injury due to overtraining. The importance of rest and proper nutrition are so obvious that I don't need to say it. You should gradually build up the amount of time you train per week. like one wekk do x # then next maybe one more ect. untill you can find and maintain a consistant level of training.

I train for 1.5 to 3 hours per day, 5 days a week and for 4-5 hours on saturday. I always rest on sunday. I couldn't do this right away mind, I had to build up to it. It was just 2 days a week 5 years ago, then 4, now 6.

Ultimately it depends on many factors. Some people are strong but tire faster, some are weaker but last longer. If your diet is crap your body wont be able to recover as fast. If you don't get enough sleep you will never recover properly.

1 or 2 days rest sounds like plenty as long as you eat right and get plenty of sleep.
