supplemetary training for mma

supplemetary training for mma

I read so much different stuff about strength trainng for martial arts that I am quit confused about it.
I am a 49 years old male and practice all kinds off martial arts since the age off 15. Right now I try to focus on street fighting.
Monday evening I teach adults and try to teach them the thinks that I think will work in a street fight.
My base is JKD.
True all the years I never have payed much attention to strrngth training but true Internet I know its important.
I have a full time job,a family and try to train mma 2-3 times a week.
It would be okay to trow in some strength training but not for 1 hour or one and a half hour.
Sometimes I read that high reps is better for mma but then I read that the 3 exercises, bench-press, squat and deadlift, would be more better for 3-5 sets off 3-5 reps.
I train at home so I cant do any pulley stuff or leg curls or something like that.
Do you guys maybe have suggestions on what I can do?
And can I after weight training do a running for example (otherwise you have to take for that 2-3 days out to).
Hope someone can help.
Sorry for my bad English, I am from Holland.
Take care.
