I'm turning 15 in a couple of days, and mma is like my life and im just getting into training for it. I have a punching bag and a gym, but I live in a town where there is no trainers I am just wondering if anyone knows any training. Like punching bag combinations, how to hit harder, a full workout, cardio, and anything else that anyone can help me with. I would really appreciate it! Thanks everyone.

BTW there are Metro Rails all over New York. It's cheap transportation and getting to Manhattan would be no problem and there are tons of schools in Manhattan and LOng ISland

Try searching some videos on youtube. There are lots of instructionals for almost anything you want to learn, gracie jiu-jitsu has techniques of the month vids which are cool they show different subs. There is also a couple vids of chuck liddell showing how to do a power punch and an overhand punch. Like I said you can find tonnes of vids to help you out on there along with the links provided above there should be more then enough info toget you started.
